Quand on part se noyer dans l’immensité de la Chine, on prend le risque d’être considéré par les locaux comme un expatrié occidental de plus, un “laowai” à la vie de débauché. Mais en réalité, il est assez facile de repérer les Français dans le lot de ces aventuriers modernes. Et il est encore plus facile de comprendre en un coup d’oeil à quel type de français on a affaire. Parce que globalement, chaque Français est différent, mais il y a des groupes distincts :
- Le stagiaire ou l’étudiant
Il vit son semestre comme le prolongement de ses vacances, lundi : Teppaniaki, mardi : Suzhou, mercredi : Hangzhou, jeudi : Cérémonie du Thé, vendredi : Tournoi de Pétanque, week-end : Beijing.

- Le jeune diplômé ou le futur entrepreneur
Il se prend pour le futur Jack Ma.

- L’expatrié de 50 ans
Il est “managing director” d’un grand groupe français, en Chine depuis 15 ans mais il ne parle toujours pas un mot de mandarin.

- La Taïtaï
Elle a trois enfants, est présidente de deux associations, elle organise des cocktails de charité et fait des manucures toutes les semaines.

- L’intégré
Il habite à Zhabei, son petit déj’, c’est des baozi ou des mantou, il parle mandarin couramment et ça fait 5 ans qu’il n’est pas rentré en France.

- Celui qui vit dans une bulle
Il parle français, il mange français, tous ses amis sont français, il bosse pour une boite française.

- Le rageux
Il parle sans arrêt de rentrer en France. Mas il ne rentre pas.

- Le touriste
C’est LE voyage de sa vie. Objectif : s’imprégner en une semaine de la culture locale.

- Le professeur de français
Un diplôme ? De quoi ? De français ? Ben, je suis français, ça suffit, non ?

- L’ado, fils d’expat’
Lui, il est un peu énervant.
