Breitbart: Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping’s administration called for an end to increasingly lavish weddings in the Asian country in a decree this weekend, arguing that expensive ceremonies amount to an anathema to “socialist values.”
On Saturday, China’s ministry of civil affairs decreed at a conference on wedding reform that instead of an extravagant event, weddings must “integrate core socialist values and excellent Chinese traditional culture into the construction of marriage and family.”
Chinese officials demanded that weddings advocate “diligence and thrift, and opposes extravagance and waste.”
Asia Times reported:
In a major policy decision, China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs has announced a crackdown on lavish weddings after an industry report revealed that spending on opulent ceremonies would double to 3 trillion yuan (US$440 billion) by 2021. Last year, the sector was worth 1.47 trillion yuan and is projected to rise by more than 24% in 2018, a study released by ASKCI Consulting, a market research firm based in Shenzhen, highlighted.
Even though the overall number of people getting married has fallen according to government data, the wedding industry is still booming.
Weddings must also incorporate Xi Jinping “thought,” the communist officials stressed in a statement by the ministry of civil affairs, referring to the president’s communist ideology. MORE

Stock in the wedding industry was off 84% in early morning trading. Meanwhile wedding planners, cake bakers, caterers, florists, and other workers began polishing their resumes.
Extravagance is reserved for the elite.
“Incorporate Xi thought…”
