Foreigner = wai guo ren = outside country human,

as opposed to

Chinese = zhong guo ren = central country human

and ...

Ying guo ren = heroic country person = England
Mei guo ren = beautiful country person = America
Ri ben ren = home of sun country = Japan
De guo ren = country of priciple = Germany
Fa guo ren = country of law/method = France
etc.

Outsiders, yes, but no implicit "barbarian" connotation.

Chugs, Jay
