Q: Will China's major cities ever become true international/multi-cultural cities?
Similar to cities like London, New York etc.
Would be a miracle if they did with the visa restrictions
Multi- cultural? hahaha.....
With less than 1 million foreigners against 1300 million chinese, that seems like a long shot.
In otherwords no.
Yeah, of course they will! Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Macau (I don't know about GZ, cos I haven't been down there) are already heading that wasy (slowly - but comparitavely better than, say, 30 years ago).
I don't know how long it will take, probably another decade or 6, but yes, it will get there...
Shanghai already is. TIME magazine ran a huge story about how Guangzhou is quickly becoming the busiest port city in the world. There's a story on this topic at least once a week in the big news outlets.
nevermind:
Compared to London, Vancouver, Toronto, New York, LA and such Shanghai is Cleveland, man.

How many English German American Pakistani Indian communities you have ever seen in any place in China

I was getting at how Shanghai is an international city. And Guangzhou has a big "Africa Town." That's a pretty good start I think.
no HK does not count it was not china's govt choice. in the next 10 years there will actually be less foreigners here because the people and govt are growing uneasy with paying foreigners so much just to see local women jump at the chance to marry a foreigner. that free market does not benefit the men here and the govt is ran by men
nevermind:
That has got to be the worst analysis of HK I've ever read, big guy.
