SHIHDING, Taiwan -- Three to a table, the children bend to their coloring books, their tousled black hair absorbing the winter light from the window. It's chilly in the unheated classroom, but Hsu Wen-zhen has kicked off her pink flip-flops and is circling words with a yellow crayon. She looks up and flashes a cheeky smile.

At playtime, Wen-zhen blends in with her classmates at Shihding Elementary School. But on this once-homogenous island, she represents change: She's half-Vietnamese, her mother part of a surge of foreign brides over the past two decades. Taiwan has registered 420,000 marriages to foreigners since 1987, the vast majority between a Taiwanese man and an overseas woman.

Foreign influence in Taiwan is an excellent thing.

????

My my my.......

Speechless.....

These kinds of foreign influence are not exactly the uplifting kind.....

It's ok.....I keep quiet now....

Taiwan is more prepared than Korea and Japan when it comes to maintaining and increasing the population.

My ex-gf's sister married a Vietnamese man.

I heard many Vietnamese women are treated badly in Taiwan.

best decision she has ever made.

all mail-in brides are treated horribly. not just in taiwan.

Not if they're as cute as you.
