This chapter examines the construction and reception of female subjectivities on Chinese Dating with the Parents, focussing on urban young women born under China’s One-Child Policy. It analyses how contestants and viewers negotiate emerging femininities and heterosexual intimacy within the intersecting contexts of familial expectations, state policy, and neoliberal values. Central to the discussion is the figure of the ‘new independent woman’ (xin duli nüxing), whose autonomy is shaped by higher educational and financial independence, yet constrained by entrenched gender inequalities and postfeminist logics. It further interrogates young women’s engagement with feminist ideas, including resisting patrilineal naming, reframing dating as a personal choice rather than an achievement, and challenging age-based milestones that regulate women’s life trajectories. The chapter theorises the entrepreneurial postfeminist subject, exemplified by the pursuit of a 1+1>2 relationship and self-branding strategies on reality dating shows. Finally, it addresses female contestants’ dilemmas, including the patriarchal family gaze, beauty norms, and competition with other contestants, which compel them to alternate between empowered self-presentation and displays of vulnerability to gain male approval. Overall, the chapter demonstrates tensions between young women’s self-awareness and persistent patriarchal norms, showing how Chinese postfeminist sensibilities produce both empowerment and precarities for women.
