Chinese nationalist influencer "牢A" (Lao A, a popular Douyin/TikTok creator known for feel-good propaganda videos) celebrates "Category A" news:
"Japanese women are desperately trying to marry Chinese men!"
The video overlays bold claims of Japanese women eagerly pursuing Chinese husbands, sparking triumphant reactions.
**Reality from Japan's official data:**
International marriages in Japan show the opposite pattern:
- Chinese women have long been the top nationality marrying Japanese men (e.g., 5,526 in 2016, still among the highest in recent years despite overall decline).
- Chinese men rank only third among foreign husbands of Japanese women (behind South Korean and American men), with far fewer cases — typically 1,000–1,500 annually in peak years, and lower recently.
Recent trends (2020s): Total international marriages dropped below 20,000/year post-COVID, and Japanese women increasingly marry South Korean men due to cultural influences like K-pop/drama.
No evidence of Japanese women "desperately" seeking Chinese partners en masse. Classic nationalist wishful thinking.
