FINANCIAL REVIEW - Jan 3 - Many people in China who want to get married are having trouble finding a partner. China is home to ~200M singles. The combination of freedom of choice and social pressure has become overwhelming for many. Thousands of flirt trainers, marriage brokers and love gurus are now employed in China's quest for happiness. Baihe has ~300M members and 3000 would-be matchmaker employees. The origin of a potential husband is extremely important for well-educated Chinese women, who value prestige and status: things like an apartment and a car. But even the rich struggle with love. The elite agency Diamond Love has 5M members, with the especially well-to-do paying up to $21K a month for "custom services" promising them the wife of their dreams.
