Answer 1

Why do you want to do that?

Answer 2

If you are in China, their law.

If you are in the US, US law.

Pretty simple.

Answer 3

You are under the chinese law if that's where you get married.  They will be the ones approving your marriage, so if you want to get married now, then chances are you're going to have to bring her with you to Europe or the states.  But even then, she might be under some kind of different law because of the citizenship.  My brother went through the same thing.  He was stationed in Iceland, and he and his now-wife had to go through the Icelandic laws and to the Icelandic courts.  I would have thought they could do it on base, but they couldn't.

Answer 4

if you get married in china, you will be under chinese law, but, if you marry here in the US you will be under US law.
