Q: Moar Westerners than non-Chinese Asians in China?

Maybe it's just me that can't make the subtle difference between a Cambodian and a Chinese, but from my observation, I can say there is way moar Westerners than non-Chinese Asians.

Since their countary is next door, and China offer great lifestyle, why isn't there moar Asians in China? I'm talking about Malaysian, Cambodian, Vietnamese etc. I understand that China don't like Japan much, but do they have something against other Asians as well?

There are loads of Asians in China! But like you said, you just can't tell the difference. China has a huge Korean population for example. Many factories in the south hire illegal workers from neighbouring countries and they pay them even less than Chinese workers. Thousands of them live in factories and are never let out so you don't see them.

@Wenna7: Or just ignore everything you read in the 'news' papers and on telly.

Koreans are dead easy to spot in China. The guys ALWAYS wear shorts, baseball cap, and flip flops, and usually drive mopeds or scooters. The girls often wear hats with dumb slogans on, and wear those awful velveteen tracksuit pants with words like 'Juicy' smeared on the bum. Plus they look different: bigger faces. Generally if you see an Asian with a baseball cap, big face and thick-rimmed black plastic glasses, they're Korean.

LAR:

You're right L! I used to live in South Korea. Yeah, South Koreans have fatter faces.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
