Regular socializing with fellow Swedes is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Chinese way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Swedes in China, residing in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Swedes in Shanghai or Swedes in Beijing.
