BEIJING -- A total of 54.8 percent of single Chinese of marriageable age are looking for a partner with matchable wealth, according to a survey released by China Youth Daily recently.
Some 37.6 percent of the 1,967 respondents said they value personal abilities while 36.1 percent pay attention to financial conditions when looking for a future partner, the survey said.
Some 85 percent said they will not go against their own will to find future partner, although marriages of young Chinese were usually arranged by their parents in the past.
