It’s true that they’ll call you a “foreigner” to your face, but they don’t mean anything bad by it in most cases. It’s just a classification, understandable since these aren’t really “melting pot” nations. I’ve lived in all three places and never had anything but positive regard from people who see me as a foreigner. Even when I got arrested in Beijing, I was really impressed with how I was treated.

I never said they necessarily mean anything bad by it, though.

Regardless of whether your status as a foreigner is perceived as being positive or negative, you'll always be a foreigner.
