You have no idea what you’re talking about…
“Freedom” is almost never in the minds of overseas Chinese… just a few who got screwed… loudly.

It’s hard to understand the Chinese, when you’re not one.

Hopefull, the U.S. doesn’t want to pay it’s debt to china, so it will start a war & nuke china. I have never really liked the U.S., & am not even an American/ Anglo Saxon, but now, since there is a paradigm shift in Geo-politics, i would rather have the U.S. in power rather than the chinese.

“Though I have obtained foreign citizenship, in my dreams are in Chinese”….there lies the problem, you have no loyalty to your new country, hence anguish.
But i love “But look at that person, he’s 82 and was able to marry a 28-year-old [meaning even old people can adapt]“

“I work for a chinese engineering firm, I use my money to pay taxes in the US. your countries money is most likely my money so Im just helping my home country recoup what you guys have taken away.”

It’s not a tit for tat issue. Rather it’s an issue of uncontrolled profiteering that American companies have which makes it impossible for them to sell any of their over priced goods. The nation which provides the cheapest goods will be the overall winner.

USA’s Capitalist mentality has prevented them from doing that, although the cheap goods which enable a modern lifestyle are in great part due to the unwitting sacrifices of the blue collar workers in China who expect nothing as compared to the demands of workers in the First World driving up costs on top of Capitalist greed.

Eventually the blue collar workers of India and China will wise up and demand the same as USA’s workers expect, that will be crunch time for the world and I really can’t imagine how that problem will be solved. But for the handful of decades before workers in such countries start demanding their due, the world can still enjoy cheap goods.

Are you a citizen of the world or a citizen of just one country? These will be the collective problems of mankind, and very likely in our lifetime. Would anyone be proud if they went back from wherever they are when the world becomes impossibly costly to live in?

It has nothing to do with luck at all, but governance paradigms, labour rights and wealth distribution models that do not work . . .
