About being a "phile" to a country then have the dreams shattered by the reality when actually arrived in that country. The Japanese have a social syndrome called "Paris Syndrome". This occurred due to Japanese's love to Paris as they view Paris is a elegant and romantic place. When they actually arrived in Paris, all they could see are the littered street and people moving in rush. Which they feel depressed as they had very high expectation, especially seeing large number of local working class not acting elegant and romantic in the way which the Japanese people would imagined.

Totally agree with the four (maybe five) categories. Most of expats I know or have run into in Taipei are #1 ("Taiwanophiles"), who were drawn by just the abject "foreign-ness" of the society, culture, way of life, and language. A subset of this group are the types that have never felt particularly comfortable in or connected to their home culture - so, I guess there's a bit of the "clean slate" group in them, because they're looking for a place where they can fit in. It's seems like a bit of a contradiction, of course, because, as foreigners, we can never fully become Chinese/Taiwanese. But, in a strange way, I think being a total outsider works for these types, because then there's no expectation that they should "fit in," so they can be comfortable in their "outsider-ness", in contrast to the "black sheep of the family" feeling they have in their own society.

This type might be a sub-category of them all... but a common type I've noticed is foreign men who come here, still in the honey-moon phase and get wife'd up by the first halfway decent Chinese girl they date and have kids. I've noticed they often tend to be nice-guys that don't really know what they're getting into and get pushed by their Chinese girlfriends into marriage. Often they end up regretting it later and/or getting divorced. I've noticed Chinese girls can be quite good at getting foreign men to marry and have kids when these same men probably wouldn't have done so as easily to women in their home country.

Good video man I was living studying and working in China during 7 to 8 years and if I wouldn’t have met my girlfriend (Chinese) I would have fall in the second category. She really saved me from this self destructive habits that foreigners have there and can drag you along with. However after a while the local behaviours got under my skin . I felt I add to leave .. fortunately my jobs offer me to work in Bangkok it was a tough decision cause I felt good with my girlfriend . Anyway I took the opportunity and that was a complete change of my self I got into Muay Thai and learn to respect my self no more drinking habits nor smoking . Fortunately me and my girlfriend are still together even though she lives in China still. And due to covid it s hard not to see her . But I agree China is challenging and many people try to escape themselves by changing location . Sports helped me to solve those issues . Thank you and Godspeed to you and your wife.

While in comparison we seem more quiet than you, we have our different levels of social engagement just the same, so in the end we still stigmatise people that are TOO quiet. You really think we don't make fun of the shut-ins in Japan, the people that "date" their anime character, people that don't talk much, etc? We definitely still do, but we show it on what you Westerners would call a passive-aggressive manner, such as shunning others (yes, sometimes that lack of social content isn't out of being polite, many times we just don't want to be around you weirdos)

Thanks for such an objective presentation! I have been to China 4 times with my Chinese wife and can relate to feeling isolated by Cantonese family conversation. I was “trapped” in Guangxi in January this year due to return flights being difficult to the U.S.A. The authoritarian shut down felt like trying to escape from an occupied country during W.W.2. It gave me a negative attitude toward the CCP but that is only a part of the China experience. I am 77 years old and worry a bit about needing any serious medical help in that country. In any case I will probably return again.

Taiwan is an independent state right now and has been actively building relations with the US. China says the world needs to repect the "One China" policy and that Taiwan is a rogue independant state that will be taken back by force if necessary. If I'm not mistaken the US put their embassy there recently. Seems like a lot safer way to experience some Chinese culture in the world's current state.

The way we behave is subtly different in many ways from the behavior of Chinese people. I think that makes them curious and often confused by us. The behavior of other Chinese people is predictable to them, but the behavior of foreigners is unpredictable. One time I was eating at a McDonald’s in China, and I put some French fries on my cheeseburger before eating it. Two women at a table nearby were staring at me and my burger, so amazed by this bizarre way in which foreigners eat their hamburgers.

I was a corporate type who wanted to be there. Took a paycut to move there in my early 30's. I saw great opportunity in China in the early 2000s. I worked for a foreign hospital in Beijing the first gig. Had an excellent group of foreign doctors and proffesionals, none of the dregs more like people who wanted the experience.

You forgot one category: travellers. They will stay in one country 3-6 months and teach English, just long enough to save money to go to the next place. Repeat and rinse. Or, then there are people like my American friend: he went to work in China because he could managed to save money from his salary towards paying his student loan. (He studied Far Eastern cultures.) And he could get work/ teaching experience, which he couldn't do in America.

One of my friends husband is an engineer and he spent a year in China supervising the building of factories (We are from NZ) and he hated it there. Not the ordinary people but the regime and the corruption. He also got sick with a virus he caught there and passed onto his wife and toddler son (this was 12 years before Covid) and they were all really sick for months and couldn't shake it off. It also kept recurring.......

The criminals thing is also funny you mention. I never met so many criminals until I moved to China. I was so confused about how all of these dudes were criminals that just ran away from the west. I guess that would be like Nathan Rich. In America that dude would be delivering Pizza's. Instead he's in China... Well, where is he?Dude hasn't made a video in a month. Maybe he's out having tea with the police? Who knows. #4. Yeah, that's so true, I had a really good friend in Shenzhen that worked in the oil industry.

You have given out great information over the years such as Chinese mother-in-law leaving veggies in the corners lol. Unfortunately things have changed a bit in the past couple of years since you left. Google translate absolutely does work without a VPN and isn't blocked. I'm in western China far from the first tier cities and there's English on nearly every street and highway sign here. When you get married you don't have a criminal check although you do have a single status certificate required from your native country consolate. Nothing was required for a residence visa either. C-milk also stated you need a STI test prior to marriage in a video once and that isn't the case (in Sichuan province anyhow). I was able to easily get a bank account here with bank of China within a day and link to WeChat pay moments after. Sure it's different here but it's still better than living with the turmoil in the west. I'll go back to Canada when they all can figure out a mask works. By the way, you were confused as to why an Asian woman may want to bring her foreign husband back to China. That's simple. Status symbol to wave about her friends and likely past boyfriend/ex husband.

I recall a story my late uncle told me regarding China. He was a missionary priest who initially trained for the missions in China. His timing could not have been more unfortunate. He entered China in 1949, when the Communists won the Civil War and the Nationalists were pushed out to Taiwan. He was, as a foreign Catholic priest, in grave danger of being executed and was placed under house arrest. With the aid of a catholic chinese boatman he was smuggled out to Hong Kong and managed to get home (Ireland) from there. He retrained in the Korean language and spent time as a Chaplain in the US armed services in Korea in 1951 and eventually trained in the Japanese language and became a priest in Japan. While he was in China he was subject to psychological torture and many of his fellow priests were killed by the Chinese Communists. This made him very anxious and led to a destructive abuse of tobacco and alcohol and his premature death at the age of 55. While China was a highly stressful place and time for him he found the Japanese very kind and hospitable to work with. I have no doubt that his time in the far east, on his own as catholic priests are celibate, contributed to his early death.

​@@jossdionne9810 Speaking of interesting, in many cases, the Protestant missionary 'role' is also a 'cover'. These 'missionaries' are almost always white men from English-speaking countries who are quite alienated from white women. If you bring up the topic of love, romance and sex, they can talk your ear off about how inadequate white women are in those aspects of life, along with various theories about why they''re inadequate. I suspect some of them are incels; there's little doubt that all of them, to one degree or another, are starved for female affection. Basically, they've 'given up' on white women, and have come to China hoping to receive that affection from a Chinese girl (they've heard 'stories' about Chinese girls, you know) as a girlfriend, or maybe even as a wife. I often get the distinct impression that if things don't work out in China, when they return to the States, or Canada, or Australia, etc., they will swallow a handful of Red Pills and go full MGTOW, become part of the manosphere, and spend much of their free time watching KZbin videos by Sandman, Better Bachelor, Donovan Sharpe, Strong Successful Male, etc. And so it goes, I suppose.

I've worked with white South Africans living in Spain. We had a big argument over whether it's more appropriate to say in the market or on the market. ;) And yeah, I can tell the accent. It's not English or American or... anything. You just can't quite place it anywhere, and that's when you realize it's South African.

Serpenza, it's interesting, but your situation with discovering that you ended up finding China a place where you decided that you wanted to live is like a mirror image of my same experience when I had the opportunity to go to Japan for a work-related situation. I actually had always been drawn towards Asian women and dancers from an early age and Asian countries in general. When I was a teenager, I ended up dating one of my sister's best friends who had been adopted from a Korean orphanage by a family here in the states. I remember that I was always looking at the Asian girls from at least kindergarten, if that sounds funny, I don't know. My older brother said to me one time "I'm still looking for that book on how to date American women for you." I used to laugh at that. I have been a long-time practitioner of Creative Visualization and Affirmations (mantras to manifest what I desire or what I am seeking in life) and let me tell you, I have been rewarded with everything I've ever asked for while also receiving that which I thought I didn't want in my life, because, let's be frank here, we also attract negativity if our heads and minds are not in the right place, right? Anyway, I had this mantra that I used to repeat all the time about wanting to live in Japan which led my employer to offer me the opportunity to go and do a special effects installation in the San Rio Ginza Department store in Tokyo, Japan. San Rio is the company that created and sells Hello Kitty and Choco Cat and other future landfill corporate for-profit crap that no one actually really ever needs ... but hey, you gotta make a living somehow, right? Anyway, I jumped at the chance to go and work in Japan for two weeks. That experience, of course, led me to start visualizing living there. And the great thing about creative visualization and affirmations is that you use Universal Law, which is basically don't worry about any of the details on HOW it's all going to come together, but just know in your heart that it IS. That it already exists. While my boss and I were flying back to Los Angeles from Japan, he asked me what I thought of my experience there and I replied that I was going to move to and live in Japan. He laughed at me ... at least, up and until I quit my job and actually moved to Kyoto, Japan after one night meeting a restaurant and sushi bar owner who was from Kyoto. He and I hit it off immediately and we became good friends. So much so, that he ended up hiring me to paint a mural in his North Hollywood sushi bar-restaurant, which he paid very handsomely for ... and that money he paid me he said would be my way of being able to buy a plane ticket to Japan and that he was going to let me live in his house in Kyoto and that if I wanted, he would give me a job in his Korean BBQ restaurant which was literally a five-second walk from his house. Anyway, to make a long, long, story short, it turned out that this friend of mine was actually the son of one of the top Yakuza dons in Southern Japan. Hey, how was I supposed to know? As it turned out, he and I ended up having a very long friendship until his death in 2015. I am still friends with his family and I have quite a few friends still, in Kyoto who I am in regular contact with. It's strictly just on a friendship level these days. The Japanese government really started cracking down on organized crime in their country about twenty years ago or so. So anyone I knew who was in organized crime had to go legit or go to prison, so, as far as I know, pretty much ALL of those I knew to be in organized crime ALL went legit. In other words, they pay their taxes. Hahaha! Funny thing is, Wall Street, U.S. corporations, and Washington, D.C. (a.k.a. REAL organized crime) are still committing crimes every-single-day with total impunity! I guess that's how its always been throughout human history.

Thanks for the awesome broadcast. I would like to remind you of the sixth type of foreigners which i believe the majority of this type are students, they're every where and i think most of them come from African countries, Pakistanis, indians and Arabs. Another thing is for a lot of students it's cheaper to study in China than their own countries. way cheaper. not everyone can afford other higher quality education destinations .

I expect your categories apply to expats most anywhere, though I might elevate the "Loser Back Home" (LBH) sub-species into a fifth distinct group. I spent a good part of my 20s and early 30s abroad in Britain, France and Germany, and would have fallen clearly into that category--not exactly fleeing active warrants, but definitely in semi-scummy survival mode...but then most folks in their 20s who aren't rich have it kind of hardscrabble, right? Speaking of "hard", seeing as you and CMilk have morphed into such prominent critics of the CCP, you might want to think long and hard about sending your loved ones back there, even for a visit.

A funny story for me in regards to the foreigner “that is special because he’s not chinese” 3 years ago I lived in shanghai for studies and internship for about a year, and one time around christmas i walked out of the gym and saw something hanging off the side of my scooter. I initially thought it was just one of those marketing things that they often give around, but when i looked closer it was a bracelet with a medal with a chibi version of me on it. It had way too much detail including the logo on the shirt i was wearing, which was something you can only buy from a local shop in the us.. and i’m half asian half western european lol.. i never found out who it was. It even said merry christmas on the back of the amulet. Which means someone knew it was mine, and it was a very generic looking scooter. Also the person must have taken a picture of me or stalked me in order to know exactly what i was wearing to the gym in full detail.. it gave me the chills
