Correct. China is mostly a closed countries for Chinese only. As a foreigner, the glass ceiling is clearly visible.

America in contrast is a country of naturalized immigrants as well as natural borns; as a result, many understand what it means to be outside China because of their dual cultural backgrounds...the same not being true in China. So who has a better chance in operating outside in developing countries? Its funny how China really tries to get, but can't really get, Africa, for example.
