> 5. Hostility Got me curious. I don't think we in China have reached that level (hostile). Many people in China is passive, meaning most of the time you better open up by yourself, otherwise people are likely to leave you alone. Yes, that can makes people feel helpless sometimes, but that's not because people are hostile, no, it's because people are cautious and don't want any trouble. It's not cautious towards foreigners, it's cautious towards others. In China, strangers just don't exchange much. If you want to feel the same level of friendliness that you might have in America, you need become somebody that other people familiar with (So maybe they know how to treat you well without piss you off, or other way around).
