    I highly agree. And to add on to your points one could get easily argue that staying and doing everything you can to try to build a socialist revolution in said imperial core is the correct action

      Yeah, it’s emigration, not getting into heaven.

      People be like “Chinese is the hardest language to learn and your brain is made of iron now” but you could do it. They offer classes.

      “They’re treat you weird.” THEY TREAT ME WEIRD HERE!! There are people over here who notice my racial ambiguity but then they also think I’m gross because of it!

      You could get a job in a multinational and apply then network in China. You could meet someone on a dating/language exchange/penpal app. You could network from the west. They’re still just people. They’re still just jobs in cities.

      They have a visa process. They offer flights out there that are just in a different part of the airport. Your phone works over there. Your money still spends (likely better than it does at home).

      I’m not familiar with their process of visa -> citizenship and I assume it’s difficult. But I’m sure you could live good, be prosperous, make friends, and roll with the punches (if not retire there after a dignified career) with extra paperwork. 1 in 1000 people get a black belt in BJJ, but a higher proportion than that enjoy getting a workout at the gym.

      You can be as Chinese as you want to be.
