Probably the most accurate definition of a foreigner that resides in mainland China. A yangren（洋人）or more commonly know as yangguizi（洋鬼子）is the foreigner you know that cant speak any chinese besides 给我啤酒(give me a beer) and shay shay (butchered way of saying thanks谢谢). In order for the to graduate to the level of laowai(老外,a higher class of foreigner), their vocabulary must include 菜单(menu), 我要这个(i want this), 你有手纸吗(do you have toilet paper) and 你有短裤吗(do you have shorts). On top of that, they must quit their 8 year stint at a kindergarten and graduate to training center.
