@rott , better not to engage in personal discussion with foreigners on an international forum.

Can I ask you what is it that you do?
And what is it that your wife does?

I think I better not say it out here.
Cheers!

I had a discussion with my wife. Now we have planned to move back to China. This is mainly because of my daughter. I am afraid the western culture will destroy her.
This is a good news Chinese Brothers.

Some tips from my perspective:-
- visit as many places as possible while you are still in US. It is expensive when you have left the country.
- if possible retain the citizenship if it is beneficial.
- if you plan to have more kids, have them in US before moving back to China to bypass the 2-child policy.
- you may want to start transferring/converting some USD to RMB while the USD is still strong. I don't see it staying this way in the next few years.
- ensure your family master the English Language; the grammar, vocabulary, idioms, proverbs, etc. Master the pronunciation and acquire a neutral accent. English is still the international language for many years to come.
- expand your people network in US with the view of opportunities when you return to China. (Cultivate your network carefully, not many can be trusted or reliable).
- don't relocate to the coastal regions of China. I believe the future is Central and Western China. (IIRC, your wife is from Central China)

Good luck to you and your family.

Wow... Thanks bro for the lenghty tip.
If I move back, it would be back to my home town (Mei Zhou) where I can stay close to my relatives.
I still haven't figured out which part of Mei Zhou I am from.

Returnees finding big opportunities
By Su Zhou (China Daily) 09:39, February 25, 2017

Professor Ren Xiaobing said he was pleased to have made the right choice in 2009, when he decided to return from Japan to join Xi'an Jiaotong University in Northwest China's Shaanxi province.

In January, he and his scientific team were awarded the 2016 National Science and Technology Award.

"Now is the best time for scientific research in China. China has a bigger stage, more opportunities and a much larger space for growth and development," he said. "Under such circumstances, we overseas returnees can make our mark on the world."

Xinhua News Agency reported that more than 40,000 high-end professionals have been recruited under the "1,000 Talent Plan" that China adopted in 2008.

The number of recruited professors or others with equivalent titles has jumped 20 times compared with the period from 1978 to 2008. This is the largest influx of returnees since 1949.

Such an influx of talent has had a positive impact on development. So far, China has more than 300 entrepreneurial parks for students returned from overseas. More than 24,500 enterprises have been set up in the parks by over 67,000 overseas returnees.

"China is now closer than ever to attaining its dream of national rejuvenation and China is now more eager than ever to attract more talented people," President Xi Jinping said on the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Western Returned Scholars Association in October 2013.

Yue Wenhou, deputy secretary-general of the China Overseas-Educated Scholars Development Foundation, said this is a sincere invitation to talent around the world.

Tang Yonggang, a senior official from the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the reasons for the influx of returnees are the great attention paid to the matter by the Party, national development, the advantage of Chinese socialism, and patriotism among overseas Chinese students.

Wu Ning, who graduated from the Imperial College London in 2003, returned to Shanghai and founded a company that researches immune cell therapy. He said he felt very honored to connect his own dream with the country's dream.

I think this is incorrect.

Shi Yigong is an extraordinary scientist who returned to China, and gave up his American citizenship.

And what is more important is that, he is in his prime age of doing research.

I am sorry to say, but the two gentlemen mentioned above are both extremely old, and way past their productive research periods.

Agree the 94 one is too old but the 70s, I believe can still contribute alot.

Wow, 40.000 returnee under 1000 talent plan. These folks are really creme a la creme if you check the conditions to be accepted by the program .

Mr. Ren is also right that China offers immense opportunities especially for relatively younger, ambitious scientists. From now on, conditions in China will only get better. So, these people might have a stake in many scientific breakthroughs .
