Fun fact#2

There are around 600,000 (only) registered foreigners living in mainland China. Though it seems a lot - it's less than 0.5% of the general population! **According to 2012 records**

Gold tip#1

If you are living in China and you are scheduling a service / anything at your house at a specific time - make sure you'll be home! Chinese are VERY punctual.

Fun fact#5

As for 2014, there are over 10 million Chinese which immigrated out from mainland China to foreign countries.
