Agree. I lived in China until last August and left after about 7 years, my wife is Chinese, I speak Chinese. Yet I was alienated on a near constant basis (comes with not looking Chinese, I guess).

Luckily I avoided most of the bag searches by driving my own car (and admittedly, at least where I was at the searches on subway stations were half assed at best), but it sure is a nuisance to be under constant surveillance.
