Tips and Advice on China from Your Fellow Japanese Expats

Obviously, expat life in China goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Japanese is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Chinese mentality and way of life. Japanese in China are a part of our community, calling cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Japanese in Beijing, for example.
