"老外"的"超国民待遇"

北京有两款“老外”，一款是来自祖国各地的外地人，有八百万，另一款是来自世界各地的外国人，约20万。中国人一向好客，对待“老外”自然关怀备至，在北京，他们享受着“超级国民待遇”。只是，“外国人”和“外地人”，一字之差，待遇可是不太一样哦。


Beijing has two types of “lao wai“. One type are the wai di ren that come from various parts of our motherland, numbering 8 million. The other type are the wai guo ren who come from various parts of the world, numbering about 200,000. Chinese have always been hospitable, naturally treating “lao wai” with the utmost of care and consideration. In Beijing, they enjoy “super-national treatment/status” [preferential treatment and status above those of local citizens]. The only thing is, when it comes to “wai guo ren” and “wai di ren“, although there is just one Chinese character of difference, there’s quite a bit of difference in how they are treated.
