Why do foreigners raise children in China?

I often get asked about living overseas and if it is safe for families to move to another country. I can't actually answer this question because I don't have children, but I reached out to some KZbin friends to get their take on the topic. Check out their channels below to follow their families on their China adventures.

I'm gonna be blunt, but sending your child to international school and expecting them to learn Chinese at a high level is extremely unrealistic. I've met so many kids that went to international schools in China who have lived their entire lives in China, and almost all of them spoke Chinese poorly or couldn't speak at all. When one of the hardest languages to learn is treated as a few hours per week foreign language class, it's no wonder none of the kids could speak it natively despite living there their entire lives. One of the biggest advantages of a Chinese education is its ability to hammer in good study habits early on (forces the child to learn how to study and to dedicate time towards studying) and its ability to allow a child to become native in Chinese, which is an invaluable asset. You can't become natively proficient at a language if you don't see it all the time. There's a reason why you don't see any immigrant children in the US struggling with English past the first few months of school. Having that language environment is absolutely huge when it comes to language proficiency. Choosing an international school for highschool to circumvent the gaokao is a legitimate decision, but to not send your child to a Chinese elementary/middle school when they're young and the stakes are low is squandering their environment and doing them a disservice. Not trying to parent other people's kids, but that's just my two cents.

[@weizhang2834]

i witnessed a lot of Chinese rich parents sent their kids to America high school and in the end they got nothing except English skills ( some not even English skills), and some of them use drugs, watch porns , smoke cigarettes in their 15 years old, none of them really know what they need , parents sent them to the USA supposedly got “better “ education, but they haven’t realized they makes them less competitive, again, from elementary to bachelor degrees,universities in China are the best , in my circle, everyone appreciates the experience of GAO KAO , it really does make them smarter, stronger, more competitive

[@weizhang2834]

Chinese are not “suffering “from gaokao, that’s some stupid Chinese parents thoughts , no pain no gain, all successful Chinese experienced that progress, including Jack ma , pony Ma , Richard liu, etc etc , that’s best experience for a human being who wanted to be built toughness in their life . Parents sent Kids to USA private school for ‘better “ education are stupid , Chinese in Silicon Valley at least 90% went through the Gaokao in China and most of American high school students can’t even understand basic maths which in Chinese elementary schools had already. don’t worry about the so called “ innovation capabilities “ , I am 100% sure in 2035 Chinese will surpass USA for every thing in high tech fields, time will tell the difference which education systems are better

[@peaceandprosperitytotheworld]

Thank you Miguel for making this video! I really enjoy the deep insight of your guests regarding raising children in China. Ultimately, it is always based on parents upbringing and personal beliefs. I believe overall the Asian education systems ( Chinese, Korean or Japanese etc) focus early childhood education on Strong Tough Academic. It is not unique to China. This is based on the history of East Asia. I live in Canada for almost 50 years and started my education since grade 6 onwards. I am a retired College professor, so I have a very different perspective regarding education. With the shift of Global Order and focus on technology. The far east education system may give a slight edge. One of the solutions is the International Baccalaureate IB program which might offer students a better alternative. My two children completed IB, they speak multiple languages and are now medical doctor working in UK.

[@TripBitten]

IB is becoming more popular in the international schools here and from my understanding parents like that program, but I don't know enough about it. I would say schooling here is competitive and I think that is part of the reason for the slight edge over the US. I found in the US, you would get passed along even if your abilities were low and it is almost like a state run daycare system. I'm glad your children made it into a good profession!

[@jivvyjack7723]

@@TripBittenNot just a "slight edge" but on an average basis, a "big edge". Excepting children with learning difficulty issues, an "academically poor" student in China would still perform much better than an "academically poor" student in the US.

[@angyneo4225]

I have heard a lot of good things about the IB program, but as far as I am concerned, it is still an English-based western way of education except that it is more futuristic. I don't see how IB has anything to do with eastern culture or multilingualism. Correct me if I am wrong.

Most of these foreigners are worried to send their kids to local Chineseschools, which I understand, but I think it's at least very useful to do that at early ages, like kindergarten, primary school and even junior high school, and at the same time attend online international program(it's super easy compare to the Chinese level anyway.)

[@fannybirot2362]

I didn't figure that out and made a mistake to brought my kids out of China at too early ages. I often regret that. Now I hope later on they can do one or two or a few years of higher education back in China!

[@irritatedanglosaxon1705]

So true, just get rid of them. In many rural areas everywhere Chinese international schools has so many applicants.

[@ranojap5010]

If I were them I'll send them in China public school because they can learn not only language but also history most important they learn Chinse attitude toward parents, teachers and elderly, at the same time they still can learn their native language from parents at home; later on when high school or university period can go back to your own country or any country so kids will be learn and adaptable with difference cultures and conditions after all your kids will be more ready to be global citizens.

I would only advice people to look into the trend and trajectory of China's education systems. The Chinese are gaining in ranking for top universities/institutions. Many people tend to think that the Chinese education system places too much workload to the kids but here is what I think might help to make it a little more understandable . Chinese tend to believe in striving while young and enjoying life while old, Where as the western people tend to believe that enjoying life while young and strive while older. Another thing is as a foreigner no matter where you are at you will be looked at and treated differently because of curiosity of the natives and some will view that as offensive but true offensive things are being attacked and being told to go back where you came from which I would find it hard to believe that the Chinese people will do to foreigners unlike from the west where you see that much much more often.

As a native Chinese who raised in diffrent provinces in China and been studying and living overseas in Germany and Australia for almost ten years, I support all these thoughts and opinions raised by these KZbinrs in this video. First thing is discrimination. I was born in Anhui province and raised there for my first 13 years then moved to Zhejiang province. In my schools and social life in Zhejiang, even as a native Chinese, I was discriminated because people's stereotype towards Anhui, many of these stereotypes are usually not positive. I still remeber clearly the first discrimination happened to me was my first deskmate, who is an extremely smart, deligient and beautiful girl. I was very naughty at the age of 13 and it was also my first semester in my junior high school in Zhejiang, I annoyed my deskmate everyday and she was very offensive to me and said fxxxx off to your own province. That sentense caved on my mind 4ever. But one year later, she became my best friend, even now. In our school life, she invited me to her home play games when she was alone at weekend. Overall speaking, 80% people around me in Zhejiang actually treated me fair, especially most my teachers loved me very much and gave enough attention to my education and growing. (Maybe because I am actually a charming person and most welcome everywhere no matter in my home country or western countries). As far as I concern, human beings still have the territorial sense as most wild animals have, I think that is the origin of most discrimination. Second thing is education. No one can deny that China has one of the most intensive and hard courses in the world. Most people were growing in such a heavy-work education system for better life. Because there is one of the most important examinations in China called Gaokao, which is a very hard, multi-subjects academic examination in most students'18 or 19 years old, it is a passport for most Chinese student to change their lives for themselves even for their family. Because Gaokao can be deemed as one of the most fair exams in the world. It gives a great opportunty to most poor and ordinary families to compete with students with rich and strong background. Therefore, China is allowed to gain countless talents to contributer for this country. Last but not least, I would say China is one of the most safe countries in this world (I dont think there are many safe countries in this world hehe). Survive or we say safety is above everything one is going to develop.

great video. now I am 51 years and my Chinese girlfriend is 50 so we will not have children, but we have from past marriage. and my son and her son are over 20 years old and my daughter is 13 so i guess it's too late. but in Denmark it is normal for everyone to go to public school. so if I have children I would also like them to go to a Chinese school. but yes, an international school would also be good if you can afford it. then they would also learn from other countries. it is always a dilemma what to choose. you can also get a private school here in Denmark. but then you also have to pay for it. and yes, the education is also much better. one of the things that Denmark is also doing up. and school time here has also become longer, just like in China. but it seems like China takes good care of the children there. what about getting older in china.

In the USA, wholesome traditional families are rare, and the family judicial law system is elusive, and misunderstood by most American fathers. For starters the American fathers are associated more accurately as sperm donors. An American woman and especially if she becomes a mother, by default she can disconnect the father from his kids permanently if the mother so chooses. In fact the American system incentivize women to be single mothers for variety of reasons and social benefits. Marriage in America for men is a trap, because there is no fault divorce law, that means the woman can take the kids and go as far, and anywhere she wants in the states. For a father in the USA by design from the judicial system, required to have a lot of money just to keep up in contact and get only visitations with his kids. FATHERS IN THE AMERICA HAVE NO PARENTAL RIGHTS. Even if he achieves 50-50 custody, the mother by default get the primary residency with the children, which obligate the guy to pay child support, and that’s the bottom line. I haven’t seen my kids for the last eight years and maybe I might see them after they turn 18, I’m still in the courts but the game is lost already for the kids and me, father of two.

To reverse the perspective, chinese youth living abroad face a similar problem of maintaining their own cultural ties as a result of natural cultural conformity imposed by the host country. All aspects ranging from customs and traditions, and especially language, become convoluted with those of the hosting country. This is hardly a new problem facing immigrants to western countries for decades, even centuries, who regarded the west as a better place of opportunity in the past. The difference today is that developing countries, especially China, now offer a viable alternative to life in the west that is rewarding on a large scale for foreigners financially and intellectually.

Any country where the government is strong enough to control any aspect of your life, even how many children you have to have, those countries are good for nothing.

Is it safe to go there now

[@TripBitten]

Yes, it is safe here in China. For the most part, there will always be piety crime in every nation, but overall it is very safe here in China.

As a smoker, I often have to step out of my hotel to smoke late in the night on the street. In US, London, Canada, I feel little insecure with strangers look like homeless approaching me and asking me for a cigarette. While visiting China, I don't have that experience.

[@mingliu4175]

I know why , kids are hooked to rice cakes!!

[@mingliu4175]

Feel sorry for those kids, no drugs , no violent they really missed valuable lessons of real life!!

[@HKChineseCanadian]

In the past, I would have never thought in a million years that any Westerner would want to live, let alone raise their family in China. Now I am thinking about retiring in the safety and friendliness of China.

[@justgado2772]

Agree With you. I had been there for a decade and I am now already back to my home country but, I like to be able to live there 8 months every year lol. When it gets cold I want to back home in SE Asia. Lol😂don’t like cold winter months

[@DeBeard]

omg, that south Africa lady is gorgeous!😮

[@weizhang2834]

That’s so funny she supposed her country has better educational systems , every kid love play every day, that’s the human nature, but the reality is your kids got nothing except “happy “ life , when you go to the real society and you have no competition for the future, so called “ sports kids “ can’t lead your kids into a successful career, at least they can’t be tough enough

Why not why there is so many Chinese in America

[@user-ge3pc8qp5c]

因为美国工资高，还有有的人被世界媒体洗脑

[@Ivan-hh1ed]

Very superficial what the sudafrican talk about it, exploring the city in bicycle?

[@user-yt7dq2kl2t]

Move back to South Africa for education instead of in China😂? I’m in the USA and I will tell you the education before college here sucks. The results are also mediocre and this is not according to me but according to PISA scores.

[@0animalproductworld558]

I used to live in VN since birth until I was 12 and moved to America 🐁 When I just got to America I thought how people were were very weird, strange, different, and crazy to me After awhile I adjusted to the life in the West and now I am much older I have to say that Asia is a lot safer. People are nicer, innocent, pure, and more harmless As a girl...... You can actually walk on the street at night and you will be safe ~99%+ of the time! I never felt I was not safe in Asia! In the West, I always felt that there are insanity near me all the time like someone can harm me out of nowhere! If I don't lock my door, I'm afraid sleeping at night someone can come in and kill me while I'm sleep in America. In VN it was safer, I always felt safe 90%+ of the time...... The most serious crime that I heard in Asia 12 years living there was I think some crazy girls raped a guy or something like that that's it. That's what I remember if I don't remember incorrectly

[@pushcartoldman8698]

If Chinese education system is poorer than other countries, how the Chinese graduates brought the country up to today’s national achievement?! There is no better system, only which is more suitable for themselves.

[@homayounshirazi9550]

The S. African woman is not exactly happy to be there, perhaps she is more interested in her own country because she finds it necessary to go back to S. Africa twice every year! If a pair of shoes doesn't fit, why wear it every day?

[@johnstauffer4362]

Anywhere is better than Zimbabwe

Search the education index, you will get the answer. PISA Nature Index.

[@antoniosdimoulas3566]

What is your f…. point??? Rich people can have as many wife’s they can afford in different parts of the world, and if they have enough money to give the best education for their kids.🤑🤑🧝‍♀️🧝‍♀️🧝‍♀️🥂🍾🎠🍒

[@yongdeng1813]

You should only worry about it if u are a millionaire. But the 98-99% of the people enjoy having their kids getting his/ her education here in china. There u go, question answered!

[@dongiovanni8899]

can use either country as backup

[@spikermike2843]

you are a prime example of why Americans have concern about their education LoL
