Posted in: If you were given a choice to live and work in Japan or China, which would you choose? See in context
There is no simple answer to this question but I guess it depends on your situation. I have worked and lived in Japan as a salary woman and have recently taken up a job in Beijing. Both cities have there advantages and disadvantages, but Tokyo is an easier place to live, because it has a large urban, well-educated population, mature institutions and infrastructure, it is very pleasant and easy to fit in. Beijing is under transformation, and there is a huge rural population which has been settling into the city in the past decade and it clashes with the previous city dwellers, so everyday life is very chaotic. But there are more changes going on, and opportunities to take I suppose.
