Well, actually I spend quite a time in China and I don't think that you are right telling the men pay everything, starting from dinner to shopping, etc. It is the same as in other countries. Unless you are not married (in this case it is common that the Chinese wife pays everything, because she handles the household and takes care of the money) and you are lucky you will be invited several times for having lunch or dinner together. For your shopping tours you have to take care of yourself and use your own money as the guy would do as well. Never heard about anyone being invited for everything, the one carat ring included. Well educated ladies in China have their own income and don't care about that so much. This kind of attitude can be common if the girl reaches for money while not having any, she might love her boyfriend or might not. What are you looking for?

If a boy invites a girl for dinner he would pay. But if you go shopping and stuff with a boy, he will not always pay (maybe first and second date). sometimes the girls pay as well. So in Switzerland it’s a give and take. And I think its okey like that. It s not fair if always the boy has to pay for everything^^

If the guy invites the woman then he pays, unless they agree to split the bill.
