Having spent so many years in the Middle Kingdom, I already know that there is a group of Chinese women here who are simply looking for a foreigner as a partner. It's not even about the visa or the money, because it happens anyway, but it's probably some kind of fashion. However, my friend outshines all other Chinese women who hunt white people. Don't get me wrong - she doesn't sleep with them! For now, she is loyal to a certain guy from Central America who lives in the USA. She's been waiting for him for almost 3 years because he doesn't have permanent residence in the United States and he certainly can't just fly to China. I don't even remember if they ever met face to face, I know that they often contact each other via the Internet. This Chinese woman has now got a job in Europe and is traveling between China and Europe. She recently returned to China and rented a new apartment. She was looking for a roommate - she decided to rent an apartment to a girl from Portugal, and she brought her boyfriend from Mexico. The guy is very strange and this Chinese woman is afraid to even stay there alone with him. Despite everything, she has foreigners next to her - just like she dreamed of. He always talks about his friends, they are all foreigners! If I have Chinese friends, they are only those who have foreign boyfriends or husbands. Is this a disease, a perversion, racism towards one's own nation? She knows guests from Italy, France, Canada, the USA, Americans of Polish descent, and Americans of Czech origin. At every meeting and party, he must surround himself with foreigners. I will also add that she does not speak perfect English and is not very interested in Western culture (she doesn't know the name of spaghetti, she doesn't know who the pope is). In front of me, she made fun of praying in the Vatican (where she had recently been), and called the Pope "that old guy who dresses him in white clothes and a hat." Of course, I am tolerant, I understand that our faith is foreign in China, but why is it so pushed towards foreigners? So that she could have some specific guy from America or Europe, here - with her. And she has an online relationship... I don't understand it at all anymore. And I admit that I'm tired of her stories about this and that foreigner who lives in China and did this and that. In my opinion it is some kind of disease. She doesn't have any Chinese friends! She's Chinese after all! It's as if I lived in Poland (as 100% Polish) and only hung out with Asians! He rented an apartment with Asians! He went to lunch and dinner with Asians! Of course, I don't see anything wrong with it, but there has to be some moderation and why should I cut myself off from my own nation and culture? When it comes to foreigners, she simply has no moderation - she has to know everyone, talk about everyone. Maybe he has a world map in his apartment and puts pins for every foreigner he meets. She's definitely covered Europe and the Americas, Africa and Asia are probably not interesting to her, ha ha!

One of our Chinese friends expressed his condolences to me and the Poles in connection with the tragic accident of the government plane. He said that the "right-wing" part of China is very supportive of Poland in this difficult moment, there have been many friendly comments and even special websites with condolences from China. The same Chinese shared the film "Katy
