If yes, what is the reception like for Pakistani people, or people of Pakistani origin?
Is there racism? Warm welcomes?
I have no idea, but am interested in whether the close political ties at the state level manifest into warm people-people ties.
Thanks,
Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
Been to Shanghai and Beijing. People are just like anywhere else in the world.
Don't expect any warm welcome though. They will conn you... !
Average street guy is not much into politics or doesnt know much about the foreign relations etc.
Few older people would be happy to know that you are from Pakistan though, :)
Re: Has any Guppy been to China…
food would be more tackling issue for u than racism. 
n to get warm welcome, either be bhund mirasi, minister, or govt offical.
p.s. y on earth u want warm welcome though, aint pakistani phool haar enough for u 
Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
i been there..... they called me lo wai or something...
meaning foreign devil... but i guess they were not serious... its just a name..
from my experience i found people are usually rude over there...
Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
depends on the social level of the people, an avg joe on the street will not know, but professionals there were very warm.
to give you an idea of people's personal level of concern, when the 2005 earthquake happened, I reached out to some of my colleagues in China to help locate heavy duty tents. The guys left work to go talk to different suppliers in teh city and to make arrangements to have them shipped to Pakistan. It was a lot more than i expected as I was just looking for a few numbers or email addresses which I could then follow up with myself.

^ X2 stop posting your accounts of heroism. I am not interested. Why are u trying to impress me. I will not share my bag of popcorn with you. so shoooo...shoo... go away
Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
gammay the account is about the feelings that chinese people have for Pakistan. A number fo people would not get up, take a half day off and try to do this if they did not really care. simple as that.
now go write your BBC script..shabash

Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
I know a guy who's lived in Hong Kong, he says they are nice people n like us Pakis...
Can't generalise though, it's like every other country, you get good, bad and neutral people..
Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
I was just wondering. I have no expectations of them, nor am I going, just a thought that popped into my mind, and given GS has many "traveller" type folk....I thought i'd ask.
Re: Has any Guppy been to China…

Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
I would imagine just eating out would be a difficult job if one is halal/zabeeha conscious. Probably everything is fried in lard or made using it to keep the cost low.
Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
I wanna visit China......sigh Zai Jiaannn! 告别
Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
been to Shanghai a few years back. I don't need to write anything becasue I share almost the same views and opinions as the rest of the guppies around here.
Re: Has any Guppy been to China....
Been in Shanghai and Gunagzhou many times.
There are not many people who speak English. You will find these people in international hotels and in big companies. Even if they manage to speak the english they learned in university it is hard to understand them.
I have never spoken to somebody who referred to the good bilateral relations of China and Pakistan.
Be prepared whenever you visit China. It is difficult to get good food outside the big 5star hotels.
