Obviously we can only generalize, but it varies depending upon which part of China the family is from. Shanghai tends to see the women having a lot more say in the family, the NE is definitely much more the man having the say in the family. Can't say with a lot of confidence for other parts of the country specifically though. A lot of it also comes down to whose side of the family is richer/more influential and how parents get involved in managing the lives of even their adult, married children.
