• 😀 China's strict government surveillance is a significant concern for foreigners, as the country is heavily monitored with cameras and even microphones in public spaces.
• 😀 Language barriers in China are particularly challenging, as Mandarin is considered one of the hardest languages to learn, and many Chinese people do not speak English fluently.
• 😀 Cultural differences between Chinese people and both Western and Iranian people can make adapting to life in China difficult, especially in the early stages of immigration.
• 😀 China's high population density, with over 65 cities having populations of over 1 million people, can lead to overwhelming experiences in large cities like Beijing and Shanghai, particularly with public transport.
• 😀 Social customs in China, such as staring at strangers, spitting in public, and disregarding personal space, can feel uncomfortable for foreigners who are used to more respectful behaviors in other cultures.
