    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    It's pretty free as far as I know. Parents like to (secretly) invite you to meet with other family friends' children and stuff if they don't think you're being proactive enough about finding a mate, but I do not believe arranged marriages are the norm anymore.

    This is talking about metropolitan areas. Rural areas and minority ethnic groups may have different cultures.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Regardless of the means, if the goal is to have a healthy, successful child to carry your name, then you might be pissed if he turns out to be born a hideous beast because the qualities you found suitable in your mate are all fake.

    True but we're talking about China here, and if you mean by "healthy and successful" that they are physically attractive. From what I've seen of your average Chinese in China, slim pickings if you're looking for even what we'd consider a 4 or 5. The only way to find 6 or 7s is to be rich and famous. The only 8s and above are surgically enhanced.
