Inflation-adjusted home prices in China have fallen below where they started two decades ago, and the fiscal fallout is hitting local governments even harder than developers.
I wonder how many people on Lemmy want to move to China based on what they’ve heard about it on this collective network or in their own circles. How many of those people would be sorely disappointed if they did?
A lot of them come across as Ariel in Disney’s The Little Mermaid. They have an incomplete understanding of China and also likely have legitimate reasons to not want to live where they are.
I literally could care less if you believe me or not. Because I know what we had to do to leave. So keep fetishizing these people. Maybe you’ll get lucky and get to try it as well. May the odds be ever in your favor.
i wouldn’t move to china mostly because i have a social connections here, i don’t speak chinese (and at this rate i’m never gonna learn it even though i’m fascinated by it). and also because i ideologically think that mass migration is a very bad thing with bad consequences for the environment. we need to solve our problems at home.

That’s nice. When I was a kid my dad worked in China, and they confiscated our passports, so we literally had to flee the country.
So there’s also that side of the coin.

My dad had a work visa for a company and when his contract was up they held his passport saying he was to continue working for the company.
So no. Not like ICE.
Also, we’re talking about China, not how shit America is right now. Maybe try and stay on topic.
so did the company withhold the passport or the chinese government?
The company and government officials were involved from what my mom told me.

Because you’re pretending like China is some fucking paradise when they literally tried to keep my family from leaving the fucking country?
We had to hide in a shipping freighter to get out of the country. But sure, go ahead and move to China, citizen.
If you don’t want people to respond to your room temperature take on something don’t post it.
I don’t believe you.
