Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Shanghai accepting of differences?

Answer this Question

When we asked people about diversity in Shanghai and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"As in any expat community there are things that one can do and cannot do. This is still a communist country but Shanghai feels much more freedom. For the most part, anything goes as long as it is not critical of the government," commented one expat who made the move to Shanghai, China.
