[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had similar thoughts. I keep thinking if we are heading in the way of dictatorship and state surveillance anyways, maybe I should be in China. The US is following suit in everything bad about China but has none of the many goods that China offers, namely, an efficient working government that gets sh*t done. Things in China just...work. it doesn't take months to fix a pothole. Doesn't take years of debate and changed policy to build train tracks. On a personal level, it is more convenient too. Don't need to fill out a gazillion paperwork's every doctor you see (because you ID card already has all the info). We are losing privacy and freedom anyways but I don't see what convenience we are really gaining. American life just becomes harder and more complicated. If I have to lose freedom anyways, at least give me convenience and ease of living.

I am a second generation Chinese American. I have never considered a future in China until recently. In my mind currently, it really is a toss up which country would be better to live in in 10 years. For my selfish reasons, [b]I hope if China triumphs they will welcome the diaspora back in, kind of like Italy and ireland.[/b] [/quote]

PP said that this is all there is, anyway -- people returning to China. Shouldn't be a problem. Best of luck with it.[/quote]
