[quote=Anonymous]I lived in China for many years and I'll say that right now, post-COVID, is probably the worst time to be in China since after the opening post-Tiananmen Square. The number of other Americans studying China is at an all time low of about 200 and the government crackdown is real. While it might not directly affect your child, i.e. they aren't going to get locked up, there is definitely a 'cold shoulder' to foreigners right now. English is being phased out, centralized education is being emphasized, expat teachers are being sent home. On top of that, there are tremendous practical problems such as difficulty in getting local SIM cards (which are needed for using some Chinese apps, such as the payment apps that everyone uses) along with a lack of access to Western communication systems and social media. Hong Kong is slightly better, but getting worse, but still a little easier for a foreign to get by than the mainland. [/quote]
