Through my travels of Asia, I knew of pockets of Asian countries had African traders and merchants. I didn't expect many of these African traders and merchants marrying Asian women just to further their business ventures and vise versa. Chinese marrying Africans as a safety net from the government and their tendency to repossess property. Not all couples married for convenience or financial gain but for love. I am a little wary of those couples but many marriage can be said was done due to mutual gain. It reminds me of a story about arranged marriages between Vietnamese women and Korean men. Most of these women live in poverty and arranged marriages to strangers seems like a good way out of that life. Sad to say, most of these women face a life of multiple hardships.
