LANGUAGE
It depends where in China you decide to go..... Big cities like Beijing/Shanghai are easier to settle in. Beijing is a more traditional city while Shanghai is a more international city, where more people speaks English, and in both these cities they speak mandarin (4 tones) compare to living in the south Guandong province, where all the major goods factories are located.... But they speak Cantonese there (9tones). Mandarin is somehow easy to learn, Cantonese is madness!

RACISM
Chinese people don't generally like black people and sadly, there is a stigma in China about Nigerians, that they are all drug dealers.
Chinese women generally like black men even though they will be shy to talk to you at 1st, due to older generation of Chinese hating foreigners in general (called demon of the west under communism) even more, black people.
Darker people in China are seen as poorer/less educated type, that's why Chinese women very rarely like to get sun tan, and they will walk around in the summer under umbrellas.

JOB
Forget it.Remember this is a country with cheap workforce everywhere. Millions come everyday from rural area to biG cities. Also, unless you speak Mandarin, you won't be employed anywhere.... And even if you wanna go live in the south (Guangzhou) to be a middle man for the millions of Nigerians who buy China goods direct from the factories in the north, you will need to speak "some" Chinese to be able to haggle. Yes, any price they give you in China is inflated and you need to argue back and forth (sometimes for hrs) in order to get the right price. Same if you are in any market, etc. Any body who buy without arguing the price is a damn fool.

VISA
If you have the right money, you can just go to Hong Kong pay the right person and get a legal resident/work visa. Just fly to Shenzhen then take a 10mins taxi to the border passing to HK, et Voila!

HOUSING
very easy to find if you have money, but big cities aint cheap unless you live far away from the main center, thus spending money in public transport

PEOPLE
Be very careful whose toes you step on as rich Chinese are very arrogant and believe they can do what they please, and you will just be killed and become a statistic.
Chinese are some of the most disrespectful people on earth... No savoir-vivre and very dirty. They shout as they speak, jump queues everywhere, and spit everywhere (lift, airplane) that's because they foolishly believe that swallowing your spit will turn it into a worm in your stomach.lol

HUSTLE
To successfully hustle in China, you need some start up money. don't even think about finding a niche somewhere to make easy money (unless illegal stuff)... They've tried it all. Many desperate Nigerian easily fall into being drug mules to bring drugs from Thailand etc... Remember, they got the death penalty to heavy drug pusher, and countless of our foolish brothas are languishing in Chinese jails

BEWARE
In China, there are 3 type of products: the cheap fake stuff, the very high quality counterfeit and the original.... And sometimes, the high quality fake is just as good as the original.

So, is it worth it to try hustling in China....hhhmm I wouldn't recommend it, but hey, that's just my own opinion
