I was telling my husband I'd move to China in a heartbeat. That's how far we've fallen.

    Are you of Chinese Han descent?

    No? Then you will never get the citizenship. China gave fewer citizenships total than Poland does every year.

    I don't blame them, they don't need more people. I was just hoping for residency and work privileges. I don't think my family would go for it anyway. For some reason, their surveillance state is more scary than ours, which is flabbergasting to me.

    China always marches forward silently while everywhere else squabbles. Ive been on the "move to china" train since 2024

    American here, lived in mainland China for ~17 years. It's nice, as long as you have a good job with a company that sponsors your work visa. Starting your own company and sponsoring your own work visa is also possible but much more involved.
    .
    Biggest problem I saw/had with living there long-term was that you won't ever have a green card/PR unless you are rich, make a really big salary, or have some special Phd/awards/patents. And once you hit retirement age, you aren't eligible for a work visa. Even marrying a local Chinese can be difficult to get your PR, depending on circumstances.
    .
    I had heard rumors of a "retirement visa" being discussed by the govt but nothing concrete as far as I know.
