For anybody looking at the China market for the long term, my suggestion is spend a couple of years learning the language first. And that doesn't mean a bit of Cantonese that you might sling around at the local Yum Cha restaurant. It means Mandarin.
It will be years before those restrictions mentioned are dropped. If at all.
And for anybody intent on marrying a China gal to get residency in China, good luck. China gals tend to marry foreign guys so they can get out of China.
