为什么中国的外国人越来越多?
Have you noticed that in the past 5 years or so the flow of foreigners moving to China has been increasing? I am one of them!
你是否注意到在过去五年里面,来到中国的外国人群一直在增长?我是其中一员。
I am not quite sure which are the countries where most people move from to do business here in China, either as an entrepreneur, work for a company, simply coming in and out to do some business or even work as an "Ayi"
我不是很清楚哪个国家来中国工作的人数最多,他们中间有企业家,有公司雇员,有来来去去做一些生意的,甚至有过来做“保姆”的。
If you talk to a random group of foreigners you better be ready to hear a completely different story from every single person regarding the reason why they came to work to probably still the fastest growing economy for the past few years.
如果你随机地和这些外国人群交谈,问问为什么他们要来到这个过去几年里面经济增长最快的国家,你预备着将从不同的人嘴里听到五花八门的原因。
People will always try to go where the economy is thriving and even if now in China the slowdown is evident there are still plenty of money making opportunities. And wherever the growth is at there will always be the need of people with better skills.
人们永远倾向到经济繁荣的地方,即使现在中国的经济增长明显放缓,仍然有很多挣钱的机会。而且无论在哪里,只要存在增长就一直会有对更高技能人才的需求。
Also a foreign face is always seen as a big plus (Positive) in many companies and by many people. I have been invited to many events as a "Lucky Charm" because I know it was important for whoever invited me to see a foreign face in the event, meeting or dinner with friends, authorities or politicians.
还有,一张外国面孔对很多公司和人群都总是被视为加分(积极的)的,我曾作为“幸运符“被邀请到很多活动,因为我知道,无论在什么样的场合,会议还是晚宴,无论和朋友、专家还是官员在一起,有一个外国面孔在场对于邀请方都是重要的。
There are many other reasons why this sudden "Boom" in foreigners moving to China that you may not be aware of. Here I share some with you from personal and foreign friends feedback:
为什么来华的外国人会突然“爆发”,还有很多其它的原因,你们可能不是很清楚。我在这里给大家分享一些来自我个人以及其他外国朋友的反馈:
1. You can save a lot of money if you live in China and work as an expatriate
如果你是以外派的身份在中国生活和工作的话,你可以省很多钱。
2. China is an escape for many to re-invent their names, persons and careers
中国对很多人来说是一个逃避的地方,在这里可以重塑他们的名声,自身和职业。
3. China represent an exciting and exotic destination to work and do something different
中国代表着一个令人激动的奇异的工作目的地,可以做一些不一样的事情。
4. Traveling in China and Asia is cheap compared to Europe and USA
在中国和亚洲旅行比在欧洲和美国便宜。
5. China is an extremely attractive and one of the top markets for entrepreneurs
对于企业来说,中国是非常有吸引力的顶级市场之一。
6. People that have Chinese language skills are in high demand in the West, so coming here to China and learn the language represent a very high plus when you go back home
在西方对于懂中文的人才需求很高,所以来到中国学习语言意味着回国之后加到高分。
Living in China as an expat is full of ups and downs and without a question it is challenging, demanding, difficult for MOST PEOPLE. The difference in values, culture, language barriers can be sometimes very frustrating and tiring to the point of quitting but it seems that many more people are willing to accept the highs and lows of life in China in exchange for the experience, opportunities and possibilities of saving and a move back home where there will be a brighter future.
作为外派在中国生活充满了起伏,对于大部分人来说毫无疑问是充满挑战,困难。价值观、文化上的差异和语言的障碍有时候会让人非常沮丧和疲惫,甚至让人想要放弃,但是看起来更多的人愿意接受在中国的生活起伏,去兑换经验,机会,以及更低的生活成本,然后回到家乡,迎接更光明的未来。
