Is the above related to this; and do you feel that this questioning always occurs in China to anyone deemed different?

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier have been busy with personal things. Yes I do feel that this always occurs in China towards anyone seen as being different. It is a culmination of so much ignorance from centuries of moral corruption and spiritual nihilism. I will not write another ten page essay but I will say for any expats looking to delve deeply into what many Chinese people consider to be "culture", you have been warned. Of course, I am speaking like this because I know about this place well enough. I am sure folks who have worked in many other countries will have things to say regarding the backwards mentality of locals. A big world we live in.
