I think 70,000 is the absolute limit allowed to stay. It is already a scary number.

They just didn't come back right after they graduate, some choose to get a couple of years of work experience abroad before coming back, people go where money and opportunities offered.

I never said China has no weaknesses, I was just saying that your claim that NOBODY wants to live in China is not true.

Compared to US/UK or Europe yes nobody would want to .

Out of 100 % only 1 % named China as the place they would like to live . Below countries like Russia .

13. China
If you want to buy property in China, plan on living there.

“Individual foreign buyers need to demonstrate that they have worked in China for at least a year and are buying the residence for self use,” Anthony Couse, managing director in the Shanghai office of global real estate consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle, told Western Union.

You’ll join expats enjoying the country’s rich history and economic growth mainly in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, as ranked by the government and based on population and economic activity.

Where to look: Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqinq, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Nanjing

Beijing first in rankings of global science cities

Updated: 2018-11-02 16:35

Nature Index launches first global science city ranking: Beijing number one
The Nature Index 2018 Science Cities supplement published in Nature today includes the first Nature Index global science city ranking.
November 2, 2018

The Nature Index 2018 Science Cities supplement published in Nature today includes the first Nature Index global science city ranking. The ranking confirms dominance of China and the United States in research output. Beijing is the top science city globally, followed by New York, Boston, San Francisco and Baltimore.

Besides Beijing, nine other cities in China rank amongst the top 50 cities globally, as measured by the Nature Index, which tracks the authorship of articles in 82 high-quality research journals.* The US accounts for 19 of the top 50 cities. Tokyo (6th) and Paris (8th) are the only cities in the global top 10 that are outside the US and China.

The supplement profiles five science cities that are leaders in their regions, namely, Cape Town, San Francisco, Munich, Wuhan and São Paulo. It explores the challenges these cities face in continuing to attract and retain academics, collaborate, and publish outstanding science. For instance, San Francisco’s soaring housing costs could undermine its position as a leading region of innovation; Wuhan is under pressure from the intensified competition for research talent in China.

David Swinbanks, founder of the Nature Index said: “When looking at the long-term sustainability of a global science city, local matters count just as much as worldwide trends. The Nature Index 2018 Science Cities supplement identifies some of the issues that policymakers and research institutions need to pay close attention to, from soaring housing costs to social inequalities and access to equipment.

“Competition between science cities is heating up, but those that perform the best are often the ones that collaborate, both domestically and internationally.”

The supplement also shows that the top collaborating cities in the Nature Index are typically located in the same country. Beijing and New York are the only city pair in the top 25 from different countries. Beijing’s major collaborating cities within China are Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuhan. Other major international cities that Beijing collaborates with in research are San Francisco and Boston.

China is a niche market for expating to.

But is still 4 spots behind Panama, and Panama is a magnet for old millionaires to retire, or even upper middle class old people.

Its a place for rich Asian Americans to move to or sophisticated people to relocate to. If you want typical obese elderly Amerikan with a "don't mess with texas" t-shirt to move to China, think again, they will move to Central America/Mexico or perhaps Europe.

Japan and Korea people might immigrate to obviously much richer and higher quality of life . China yeah not so much.

https://qz.com/170363/the-average-c...arns-about-the-same-as-a-cleaner-in-thailand/

The average Chinese private-sector worker earns about the same as a cleaner in Thailand

Chinese internet users are abuzz about an online tool that calculates how one’s annual wages compare with those around the world. And many of them aren’t happy to know how little they make compared to their peers.

According to CNN’s online global wage calculator, which uses data from the International Labor Organization, the average annual salary of a worker in China’s private sector was 28,752 yuan (about $4,755) in 2012, or 38% of the global average. That’s roughly the same as a cleaner in Thailand, according to CNN’s data. (It’s also 4% of the average American CEO’s annual pay and only 0.01% of what the Queen of England makes in a year, in case you were wondering.)

Besides Chinese are highly Xenophobic and extremely stingy . Always worried about money . People avoid those types like the plague.

2012? the time China just started..

China average income is around 10000$ a year, but think about China is one fifth of the humanity, many live in the mountains and deserts in Xinjiang , Tibet and Inner Mongolia, so average doesn't represent the wealth, first tier cities like Shenzhen is 22000$ average, China has the world biggest middle class and buy up nearly half of world total luxury goods.

Guess you don't know which city has the most billionaires on this planet, it's my home city, Beijing, holding the top spot for many years already.
Beijing is ‘Billionaire Capital of the World’

By Ariel R. Shapiro

The number of billionaires around the world is rising rapidly, according to the Hurun Report’s 2018 Rich List, with China leading the pack.

As of Jan. 31, there are 2,694 billionaires in 68 countries, an additional 437 billionaires since last year, which amounts to an annual increase of 19.4%.


At 819 billionaires, China not only has the most by far, it is also gaining new ones at the fastest rate, having welcomed 210 new billionaires in the last year. Additionally, Beijing gained Hurun’s title of “Billionaire Capital of the World,” as the home of 131 billionaires.

The United States has the second-highest number of billionaires at 571, but the country only added 19 new billionaires in the last year.

In terms of national ranking, India comes in a distant third with 131 billionaires, accounting for an increase of 31 billionaires in the last year. It moved up a spot, from fourth place in 2017. Mumbai took the eighth spot in the city ranking, with 55 billionaires.


Although nearly all countries ranking in the top 27 saw an increase in billionaires over the past year, there are a few exceptions. Austria, with 12 billionaires, saw no change. South Korea, home to 33 billionaires, decreased by one. The Philippines went down to 12 billionaires from 14.

While Beijing holds the top spot amongst cities, it is not the only Chinese metropolis home to billionaires. Hong Kong and Shenzhen come in third and fourth, respectively. Shanghai is tied with London for fifth place.


New York, the only American city in the top 10, has 92 billionaires.

San Francisco was tied with Tokyo and Singapore for the 13th spot, each being home to 31 billionaires. Los Angeles is ranked 21st, with 24 billionaires.

The United States still dominates Hurun’s list of the world’s top-10 wealthiest individuals. Seven of the 10 richest people in the world are American.

Jeff Bezos, 54, founder and CEO of Amazon, leads the pack with a net worth of US$123 billion. Bezos saw a 71% increase in wealth in a year-over-year comparison.

Warren Buffett, 87, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, maintained his second-place spot with a net worth of $102 billion, a 31% year-over-year increase.

Bill Gates, 62, came in third, despite holding the top spot last year. His net worth stands at $90 billion, an 11% increase since last year.
