Yeah, 8 minutes into this, and I can already tell this narrative is extremely sexist. Anyone can be a gold digger in the hyper capitalist nation that is China, that also includes males who pray on innocent women trying to make ends meet for their loved ones.
Capitalism is fraud in of itself, so I’m not sure that’s a true claim for praise.

While I hate that word too, this is a surprisingly high quality article (given it’s a no-name magazine)

Sixth Tone is not a “no name magazine”, it’s the English language publication of one of the largest online news publications in Shanghai.
Its a contender for best English language publication in China, and a good source of investigative (well, as much as you can get in the PRC now 财新 has been nutuered) journalism. It still gets to do more critical stories when they’re small scale and frame it as a problem government will find a way to solve.
