So there are no situations where as a non-Chinese you have a different experience than Chinese would? I call shenanigans on that. Anti-foreign(er) sentiment is a pretty narrow lense to view it through. Sometimes it's just the fact the system wasn't built to accommodate you and that causes you grief that a local doesn't experience. https://youtu.be/Y2_L71lFItk https://youtu.be/Y2_L71lFItk This is a pretty reasonable discussion of the kind of things you might bump up against. I can't imagine these issues are wildly different for you than these guys describe? The cultural stuff they talk about rings really true from my experience with Japan. And let's not do a uni-dimensional analysis of what it's like to be white in China, but consider being Black, Japanese/Korean, Indian etc. Using the words "structured" and "focused" is the wrong way to think about it. It's not usually something purposeful and sinister, it's mostly accidental and inadvertant. You're an edge-case that sometimes hasn't been accounted for.
