Very few foreigners (yes, that's what they call us when they are being polite) live in China unless they work there or are foreign students. There are virtually no long-stay visas for retirement and tourism purposes. Sometimes they call us "laowai" which literally translates to "old foreigner", but has a taunting meaning. The polite term to use for we "foreigners" is "waiguoren".

This is a tough figure to pin down. You would need to have the official reports from the national Public Security Bureau (PSB) and I'm not sure all the PSB offices are linked via computer system yet. This is from a report on Shanghai alone. It's dated 2006. "Issued every five years, the report said there were a total of 119,876 expatriates living in the city in 2006, compared to 61,610 in 2002. The number of expats working in foreign-invested companies in the city increased from 40,076 to 76,873 over the same period." http://designative.info/2008/05/06/living-in-china-shanghai-foreigner-influx-doubles-in-five-years/ If you wanted, you could probably search out approximate population numbers by searching per region: north, northeast, central, southern, southeast, southwest, west and northwest. You might not get completely accurate figures, but you could get some pretty good estimates. The largest foreign teaching organization in China is ELIC, so you could probably go to their website to see how many teachers they have there. http://www.elic.org. Also, these figures will be for all foreigners, not just Caucasian foreigners. Good luck!
