China is great, as long as you are not Chinese... (Score 1)

I've been living in Shenzhen for more than 4 years and have found it is a great place to live and work, as a foreigner. The internet is slow, unreliable and censored, but you get used to it and eventually learn how to setup an illegal satellite dish to get your news fix. Living in China is not for everyone though. It is terribly overcrowded, polluted, and generally disgusting in many ways. Few foreigners can tollerate the extreme differences in the environment, so there are not that many of us here. It's a great place to do business though.
