Answering Your Questions About China | China Q&A | Common Concerns About...

Today, I'm answering some subscribers' questions about living in China! The short answers are down below.



Today's questions are:

1. Why don't I get an ebike / scooter / moped to ride around? Lots of expats in China have them! 

I don't think that personal transportation is really needed in China since public transportation here is so well developed. It's very modern.

2. How can a tourist see the REAL China? 

Go to places that aren't in the Lonely Planet guide and are not regularly frequented by foreigners, like Gansu, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Ningxia, Guizhou, Guangxi, etc. 

3. Why don't Chinese people like NASCAR?

They're not redneck idiots from Tennessee or wherever NASCAR is from. 

4. Does China have an age discrimination against older teachers in China? 

Yeah, kind of....unofficially and officially. Most job contracts state that you have to be between 25-45 to work for their company or school. Some will bump that up to 55 - lucky for you older teachers!

5. If I get a job in China, can my partner get a visa to come along with me?

Yes, absolutely - if you're married!

6. Is the air quality in Chengdu good or bad most of the time? What's the air pollution situation in Chengdu? 

In the spring and summer, it's good! Pollution's mostly a non-issue. Fall and winter in Chengdu....or China....? It's bad. Yeah. 

7. How big is China compared with the USA, geographically?

China's a little big bigger than the USA.

8. Does China's education really hinder innovation? 

Yes and no. 

9. For someone coming to China for the first time, what is the easiest age group to teach? 

It really depends from person to person. 

10. Do people stare at me while I vlog in public?

Every single time!!! Hahaha
