There always seem to be issues you never think of until you experience them, or hear from someone who has. The issue of identity is a big one. Someone of Chinese ancestry can be seen as Chinese, and/or Asian, even if living in America. However, here in China, we see people of European ancestry as outsider. Europeans (European-Americans too) are always just "Foreigner", or called worse. They'll never be accepted as Chinese. We tend to even think that only yellow people can ever be Chinese. Even if Europeans live in China for years, or even if they were born here, they will always be just white foreigners living in China.
