Q: To which european country would you compare china with?

Back where I am from we use to say that Japanese are the German of Asia. Very close relation to mother nature, detail oriented, somehow brutal and very loyal...

What about chinese?

For these reasons I’d say Italy:

1. -same shallow patriotism. Actually Italians in Italy are very critical about their government, and almost once a month they feel ashamed of being Italians. Same for Chinese, but just in front of a laowai they would always wear the proud-5000 years of history BS...
2. -same attitude to foreigners: ius sanguinis. A foreign-looking person would never become Chinese; a foreign-looking person would never become Italian.
3. -same use of the female body. Indeed even if China had communism, the society is still very "macho" and in tv shows, or car show or whatever else they use half naked girls…
4. -similar view on sex. China's Vatican is the party
5. -similar traffic rules and way to deal with them
6. -similar importance given to FOOD, FAMILY, NEWEST MOBILE
7. -Similar importance given to “face”.
8. -similar degree of americanization...
9. -interesting analogy between 2 country's history: Roman Empire and Han; they collapsed almost in the same period, and a foreign religion spread out in both countries (Christianity for Rome, Buddhism for China)
10. -both Latin and Classical Chinese influenced their neighbors

andy74rc:

Being Italian, although Northern Italian so some distinctive traits are tamed, I have to agree.

But we Italians are really rookies compared to fellow Chinese.

Agree with the above. Italy. The main reason is the Italians approach to government corruption is almost as bad as the Chinese. Italy has also been pretty good at sacrificing the environment to promote growth/combat the economic crisis.

I can compare them to the Gypsy only, or Romanians. But hey, Gypsy never work back home, so maybe that's not right. Laughing out loud

There are a lot of similarities with the Chinese and the French in terms of manners, hygiene, temperament, driving and general courage.So, I'd say France

I think it should be like Germany after the war - occupied by the western powers so it can actually become a developed country.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
