[quote=LEONARDO,374600]An American magazine Marie Claire published an article “The New Trophy Wives: Asian Women”, commenting on the phenomenon that many powferful men marry younger Asian women. The article attributes the popular marriage between the West’s most powerful men and younger Asian women to the Woody Allen Effect (Asian women desires for fatherly love). The article contains controversial viewpoints and has triggered sizzling controversy among Asians’ community. Some say the article is offensive to Asian women. The article quoted several examples: media Baron Rupert Murdoch marrying Wendi Deng, CBS head Leslie Moonves tieing knots with Julie Chen, Nicolas Cage’s marriage with half-his-age wife Alice Kim, Vivi Nevo courting Chinese actress Ziyi Zhang. One common thing among these couples is “the large age gap”. The author is trying to explore the reasons why these western tycoons favor Asian women. The author even questions if the western tycoons have the unnerving “Yellow Fever”. I find the article is amusing and the author has some points. What do you guys think about the phenomenon of “marriage between western older bigtwigs and younger Chinese women”? Do you think if Asian women marry western men for the sake of Daddy’s Love Complex? The below is an excerpt of the article: (Read the full article: http://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/advice/tips/asian-trophy-wife ) 《The New Trophy Wives: Asian Women》 Rupert Murdoch has one. So do financiers Vivi Nevo and Bruce Wasserstein. Why are the West's most powerful men coupling up with younger Asian women? By Ying Chu Call it the Woody Allen Effect. When the venerable director scandalously left Mia Farrow for her adopted daughter, South Korean-born Soon-Yi Previn — 35 years his junior — he may as well have sent out a press release: Asian-girl fantasy trumps that of Hollywood royalty! Not two years after they tied the knot, media baron Rupert Murdoch walked down the aisle with fresh-faced Wendi Deng — 17 days after finalizing his divorce from his second wife. Then, CBS head Leslie Moonves wed TV news anchor Julie Chen; Oscar winner Nicolas Cage married half-his-age third wife Alice Kim; billionaire George Soros coupled up with violinist Jennifer Chun; and producer Brian Grazer courted concert pianist Chau-Giang Thi Nguyen. Add the nuptials of investment magnate Bruce Wasserstein to fourth wife Angela Chao and the pending vows between venture capitalist Vivi Nevo and Chinese actress Ziyi Zhang, and we've got a curious cultural ripple.
