ChinaLab is a new series of events starting by AllSet Learning in collaboration with Xindanwei which is all about bringing people together to discuss the expat’s experience in Shanghai. We want to explore the good, the bad, and everything in between about Chinese society and how it compares to Western society, and why this all makes China such an interesting place to live.
