I am sorry you had your shirt taken. I hear so many horror stories about both men and women who married non-Chinese. One lady married a Brit, divorced him five years later and remarried the Chinese husband she divorced. Another married another Brit, went to England, became a citizen, never paid the mortgage, skipped out of town with the kid and the guys savings. The guy shot himself. A woman who married a Chinese guy, brought him to Canada, and once he got Canadian permanent residency divorced her. With all new teachers that I meet in China I always tell them the same thing when dating- say no ALOT more than you say yes.
I am sorry to say that Phillipine women come in a close second. It seems here the rule is that you can use a foreigner, but you can't really love them or befriend them.
