I know that this is not how Chinese people act in countries outside of China, but that is mainly because of the language barrier. Chinese people find it hard to learn english since pronunciation in english is very different from chinese, so they feel less comfortable talking to others.
For example, I was born in Canada, but my first language was Chinese, and I couldn't communicate with other kids until I was almost finished JK. Those experiences make it harder for me to speak openly to others even though I wasn't born in China
