When I'm retired, I'm going to live in China, for good. I'll do volunteer work and help stray animals. Life is so peaceful here. The people are very very kind. Food is awesome too. Everything is affordable. I already make some arrangements for my future.❤️🇨🇳❤️

[@teresalehtonen8499]

what city you live in? How is the rent?

[@Bebraveonce]

You can not retire in China unless you have a Chinese spouse then they will issue you a Q visa that at the moment is renewable yearly But if you fail your yearly medical you will be out in 7 days

[@lisaward8024]

How will you get a visa for that?

[@thecrimsondragon9744]

I've heard the people can actually be pretty unkind. Like they'll never go out of their way to help foreigners and in some cases even shoo them away.

[@Chris-N916]

⁠@@thecrimsondragon9744so… like basically people can be in every country in the world? At least they don’t shoot at you when you ring their doorbell.

[@fr3nchcr3pes]

I currently live in the US and have been learning mandarin dor the past 2 years. Im only 17 right now, but when i graduate from highschool, i would like to move to China bc of how peaceful and easier it seems to live in.

Get ready for a roller coaster. Good luck, pal, been there done that.

[@2WheelsGood.01]

I'm actively trying to land a job there. I have been 4 times previously for work and loved it. To me, it feels a little bit like South America, but 200 years in the future. People are laid back but get things done! Excellent public transportation, lots of outdoor activities, HUGE parks, good healthcare, safe, very warm people and you can actually afford to live a decent life.

[@sweetra07]

What kind of work can foreigners do in China?

[@2WheelsGood.01]

@@sweetra07 I'm a soft goods designer. The job would likely be with an American company that manufactures there. But you can do anything, huge tech industry, biomed, English teacher, consultant of some kind etc. A lot of them also don't require mandarin since they work mostly with intl clients. I met a lot of foreigners working at restaurants and bars, but that is a grey area with visa status.

作为从小离开中国的中国人，从来没有真正远离过中国，在家教弟弟中文，自己早年也选了东方文化专业主修中国文化，早在初中毕业时论文就写了中国相关的主题。那时我所在国的经济发展得非常好，人文气氛也不错，我会欣赏，也能融入，但一直觉得不是真正属于我的。虽然经常回国探亲并且在网上追踪一些国内的见闻，但是并不了解现在的中国，毕竟中国真的很大，很难真正一叶知秋。

Living in another country takes courage and adaptability. It also takes a lot of patience and forbearance. We must be have a very open mind to all things new in that new country we live in; both the good and especially, the bad. But we grow a lot more if we were to remain living in our own home country. I have lived in 5 countries.

if you are young and got decent education , just explore the world , learn different culture, languages and foods, so you have very rich experiences and memories on your life.

[@winglo1697]

When you have Euro/U.S dollars, living in China is cheap and a variety of climate to choose from.

[@minge9]

That depends on the city/ region. Opening a shop in t1/t2 cities cost the same if not more as in London. Personal experience by the way.

The ignorance makes me laugh when people say teachers don’t have talent? You try to teach 35 students from a completely different culture having to create the right prompts use examples at short notice as well as other tactics to try and open up your shy Chinese students. As a University teacher if you care about your students and want to build a rapport with them, then the job is actually quite difficult but also rewarding.

Money and/or easy sex. Those are the only two reasons I ever saw when I lived there. You really have to put up with a lot living there (pollution, unhygienic people, fake products/scams, controlling govt, constant surveillance. etc) so money is usually the reason. Everyone has their price.

[@artugert]

[@agussetionoasli]

You need to ask foreigners living there whether they rent or buy a house. I heard it's difficult for foreigners to own a house there unless they're married to local citizens.

The same thing in Taiwan province of China.

not really, if you live there for more than 1 year generally you're free to own a property. also the property market is kind of crashing in china, probably it will be much more affordable very quickly in the near future

It's safe in China, drug trafficking is a death sentence in China. No one discusses it because Western media are not allowed to promote the good sides of China, so you have to come to China to experience it for yourself.
