What is the relative size of the expatriate community? How would you describe overall morale among expatriates?
It's a small expat community, especially after the Covid years. Still, morale is pretty good. I think people expect it to be hard to live here, but are pleasantly surprised at how modern it can be. - Jun 2024
Small, with okay morale. People mostly know what they're getting in to, coming here. I think the people who have close ties to Beijing have it the worst, as it's just close enough to visit and so they don't settle in here. - Mar 2019
Small but growing. Morale is generally high, especially among co-workers. Spouses need to tap into the work community or find another social circle. - Jul 2016
Really high morale for the past couple years, kind of a make-your-own fun post, though. Some people come and can't make the best of it and have a hard time. Others press into the small-mid sized community and enjoy it. There aren't too many other Americans here though they are French, Germans and Japanese. - Aug 2014
A couple of hundred. Morale for the most part is great. - Nov 2013
