Good call.
This is pretty common in China. My Chinese classmates say that some of their friends quit their jobs as teachers because they wanted to travel abroad and have a passport.
It's been that way for a long time apparently, only made more evident now by the increasing relevance of Chinese geopolitics and their stronger economy compared to their neighbours
