Less enforcement of rules.  It is the best and worst thing here in my opinion.

really people here have a since of unity and live in harmony unlike los angeles where everyone hates each other and is constantly in competition with one another

beaufortninja:

Is that why little girls get run over and 18 people walk by without helping? Is that why grown men walk into kindergartens and stab children in the face? Grow up and see the world for what it is.

beaufortninja, dont you know that even to acknowledge the fact that their is a little girl dying in the street is an unharmonious act. just think all the unharmonious thoughts that might go through your head. no no, what you should do is ignore and keep walking. if you dont see it it dosent exist

giadrosich:

So, I guess, in essence you could say that everyone who passed by the little girl were in harmony, because they all did the same thing! Except the last woman. She was the one who acted in disharmony. Good for her! Perhaps, if your definition is based upon that, China needs a little less harmony, and more thinking!

Born (USC hospital) & raised in LA.  Here there is way more competition than LA.  You just don't see it.  In LA it is for power & fame.  Here it is for survival.

For me, it isn't about survival.  It is about business.  Here I can run my business for about 1/3 of what it would cost to run it in the US.  Plus my wife is Chinese and she is happier when she is around her family & friends.

If you want to live here and do business here, then here are 5 bits of hard learned advice:

1) Learn the language.  (Spoken & Wrtitten)
2) Learn the culture.
3) Accept that you will not be able to change anything here.
4) Words here are cheaper than rice.
5) Stay for at least 1 year in order to get past the honeymoon stage before you make any commitments, business or personal.

derek:

You hit this directly on the head my friend! I suppose we could debate the differences between acceptance and tolerance but other than that, spot on! (Especially #4)

talk to me in 2 years. 1st year i loved china so much more than the states, 2nd year i saw china for what it really was, i love and appreciate america now more than ever, even with the problems america is still a country where humanity is alive and well, we can openly voice disagreement against the govt, we can go to court and have a relatively fair chance of winning our case. life , property in most casses can not be taken away without just-cause.
i want to fix america or go to a european country that has a better govt and safer society

Canada is a great mix between European socialism and American republicanism. It's the best mix of both in the world. And this is from someone who is Canadian, and could be a dual citizen, and decides not to.

Sangoku:

I agree with you.... The first time, I come to China was all party and fancy restaurants, nice girls, etc. The second time, I start to work for a Chinese company, and I discover the nightmare and after that it's the endless nightmare. After a couple of years, the guy will understand what it means to live in China, especially when he realises that many items are cheaper in US than in China. That's why we import many things for our child (clothes, toys, etc) directly from the US.

I've been accused of being a China apologist, but even I will quickly tell you, Chinese life is NOT better than in the West.  Like everyone is saying, you must be new here or you are a troll.  I see hope for China in the future, but at present it is a backwards nation, defying all logic and practicality.  Can you love a country like this?  I do.  But is not better living than America.  It is exciting, frustrating, wonderful, and terrible.  A year from now, you will either love it or hate it.

I am A US guy. There are many things I like about the US, and many things I like about China.

I just do business here in China, so I don't get involved in politcal things.

Governments..I don't like either, all governments lie, but at least I can speak my mind on a street corner in The US, that crap will get you dead or dissappeared here.

I like my guns! I have lots in the US. China doesnt trust its people with with gun ownership, because they  know the China people would stage another revolution!

I hate most of the food, and cook for myself.

Most of the people here are nice. I like them alot.

The economy is worse in the U.S., They borrow from China to maintain the lifestyle, while I just work.I dont borrow from anyone. I learned alot from Chinese people and save most of what I make.

But dont worry, China's economy is built on a deck of cards! It will collpase with a big bang, Like the US and the EU sooner or later.

I am betting on sooner. What do you guys and government trolls think?

The two countries are different. And every person has a different life with different experiences so their view on what is "better" will vary. 

 

I wouldn't say America is better, nor is China better. They are simply different.

ya in los angeles every one seems to hate each other. blacks and mexicans are constantly in a gangwar. over here you can walk down and the street at midnight night drunk, run into a couple of locals and not have to worry about getting your ass kicked. to that extent its pretty good. the girls are alot more traditional and less spoiled than the usa too.

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
