Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in China accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in China and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"People are accepting of diversity, but it's difficult to meet locals because of language barriers (few people speak English outside of typical expat locations)," remarked another expat who made the move to Tianjin, China.
"There's not a whole lot of diversity among the English-speaking expat community. There are different religions and races, but little economic diversity. I think most people are fairly tolerant," explained one expat living in Tianjin, China.
