Consequently, international migrants from Western countries, especially those with skills desired in China, have become this country's main target in the global race for talent. In this context, this book attends to American migrants on the Chinese mainland, who are perceived as the prototypical \u003ci\u003ewaiguoren\u003c\/i\u003e in this region, as an illuminating case, and illustrates the configuration of their Other-identity, rising from their intercultural adaptation as the privileged but marginalized Other in an asymmetric power structure. This book also attempts to reveal the condition and process of Chinese Othering of American migrants that exists but is far less openly discussed in China.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas K.
