Is it somewhat easier to score an internship in the Dubai offices of BBs/EBs compared to London?
Do you know of any major differences in the recruiting process?

Career Resources
In my personal experience, quite a bit harder, especially as a fellow European. Fewer slots fiercer competition, much harder interviews
what if a Chinese with ESSEC/ESCP degree?
Harder. Great pay + fantastic dealflow means a lot of competition
For reference, most banks (especially the top ones) will give you a 2-3 hour model as part of the interview process (for an internship too)
