>>If I moved to China, would I not be treated a bit differently than a native Chinese? <<

Good question, my answer is that you will be treated differently, but in most cases will be treated better than most of local Chinese, believe it or not. And if you go to some remote areas, be prepared to be stared at because you do have a dif. facial feature<g>. Please do not think they are rude<g>.

Although also some down down side, such as occasionally, you will have to pay more compared to locals<g>. I think this has something to do with the Western propaganda (yes, Western countries also have propaganda)<g>, which gives most of Chinese an impression that wealth is much easier to come by in the West, and all foreigners are very rich<g>

>>I was hoping to point out that you will probably see much less of those types of attitudes in the NW/coastal area.<<

I think it depends on dif. industry/company, not necessarily region. Generally speaking, in academic field and most of government organizations, a lot of Chinese are treated more or less the same as Americans. But in some companies, they are discriminated, no doubt about it.

Thanks for your comment, and they are very interesting.
