        I didn’t, my parents moved here before I was born. However they are generally pretty pro-China----my dad has Mao books and my mom is willing to buy me translated theory from China. I’ll probably move back to China after I graduate, if possible.

          Did they ever tell you why they decide to move?

              Have they mentioned ever wanting to return to China?

                  Do they wish to make their current country of resident communist too?

            Currency exchange rates wild af

            Diaspora communities usually send money back home. You can get a lot of food on the table for your whole side of the family if you can get an engineering job.

              I dont think that getting doxxed here is likely. Users dont need to include emails and IP addresses are not logged. This is a pretty good privacy forum for anonymity.

      I’ve been finding that in recent years the goal of Chinese students in universities in my patch of the West has shifted from “get a degree and settle down” to “get a degree and go home”.

      That’s not to say that I don’t still occasionally encounter the “I want out of China at any cost” types, but I certainly think there’s fewer of them.
