Can someone who is married to a Chinese girl obtain a chinese citizenship?

I have married to a Chinese girl and since we are experiencing many difficulties to obtain the long-term residence permit in China (and also the work permit), I was wondering in the case of necessity I can apply for a Chinese Citizenship due to my marriage! As I saw having the immediate relation with a Chinese Citizen allows you to apply for a Chinese Citizenship... But I was wondering in what extend is this feasible, just in case!
