your answer is a little late, but you are pretty much on spot. Chinabounder just wants to make some money using some stereotypes. Fair if you ask me.

I bet this Marriott guy is probably a bitter person. Sounds like some middle-aged loser who can’t make it in the UK, so he has to come to China (or maybe Thailand), fuck as many girls as he can to find a sense of manhood.

Chinese ladies and gents, don’t even get pissed off at this guy, first because it’s not worth your time and second hes not the problem.

Misunderstanding of western men and a lack of awareness, together with ignorance contribute to the victimization of so many girls.

Looking at the big picture, Marriott is not a stupid man. A well-planned scheme: he rides on the ignorance of young Chinese girls and exploits the strong reactions of the Chinese community into getting what he want; his so-called 15min of fame. He is able to generate an audience only because of the strong public reactions. But truth be told, he is just an ordinary loser, although a bit more sad and bitter than most.

As far as his book, it’s not even worth budging an eye because its a form of self promotion.

Why is the book cover in Japanese? Because he understands anti-Japanese sentiments in China, thus by publishing it in such a context he is able to generate more anger.

Public anger is his source for generating audience.

Predictions: the book will most likely generate more public outcry, and such reactions will only nudge this loser closer to the spotlight.

Do not be fooled. I say let this guy play his games because there are sickos and con artists like this all over the place. I personally find this Marriott guy pathetic.
