China Marriage Network

Answer 1

In China, there were many situations with dating websites. Some dating platforms had problems with the registration information review. For example, only one of the multiple dating apps required a photo review and identity verification when registering. The other apps did not have a mandatory real-name review. They could also successfully register using a non-personal mobile number. Moreover, information such as gender, age, and marital status could be filled in independently, and a real person's avatar was not necessary.

Although the Central Committee of the Youth League, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and other departments had jointly issued a document to promote the strict implementation of real-name authentication and real-name registration on dating platforms to combat marriage fraud and marriage fraud, the current certification system of dating platforms was difficult to achieve true information verification and could not effectively prevent the occurrence of dating fraud. For example, although the marriage platform had marital status requirements, there was no mandatory review, and even real-name authentication was difficult to completely prevent scammers. As for the authenticity of user information, the platform made many statements to let users bear the adverse consequences themselves.

At the same time, there was a mismatching phenomenon in the marriage market. Although the overall number of men was more than that of women, they met the standards of women in the marriage market.(such as houses, cars, money, stable jobs, good looks, not short and can provide emotional value, etc.), while the threshold for women's marriage was relatively low. In addition, women were brainwashed by capital to uphold the mentality of quality over quantity, as well as the influence of traditional marriage concepts such as men wanting to marry low and women wanting to marry high, leading to a mismatching situation in the marriage market.
