Why are westerners retiring to China when they have not contributed to China in anyway ? If you spent your life contributing to the US war state don't come to China and expect to be accepted with open arms especially when the country you gave your taxes to wants to attack China and destroy what china has built .

I live in the U S A, and I paid off my home. However, you still have to pay property tax, and home owner's insurance. These two things cost me about $860/month, and this is without a mortgage. Imagine someone who bought a home for about $550,000, and put 20% down. They would have to have $110,000 to make the down payment for that home, and they will have to pay a mortgage fee of $3,396/month + $833/month. They would have to pay $4,229/month, and that isn't counting the maintenance fees for the home, like landscaping, replacing the air conditioning unit, replacing the roof, repainting the house, plumbing issues, water heater replacement, etc. In the West, you are working to keep a regular house over your head. Most of your wages goes into your home, so how can you enjoy life?????

Before retirement, my property tax was $3,000 per annum. Now I am retired with fixed income, my property tax is now $12,000. Except for normal maintenance, my house is the same as when I bought it. They just keep increasing the valuation of my property every year. The kicker is that if I sell my house, I would not have the same buying power as when my house was worth the $3,000 property tax.

I certainly agree with you about China raising good people. I've been in China almost as long as you have (came here 20 years ago), and one of the first things I loved about China and the Chinese was how entrepreneurial and hard-working they are. Governments have changed and will change, but the fact that the people will work as hard as anyone on this planet for a better life for themselves and their family hasn't. And I, much like yourself, was so very lucky to marry an absolutely fantastic Chinese woman, from whom I have learned so much (I thought I knew it all growing up in the west, oh how wrong was I), and who is not only incredibly beautiful, but more importantly the best mother to our kids I could have ever imagined anyone could be. Always looking for improvement and better ways to do things, better people to learn from, you name it.

Actually, Cuba should open to Canadian retirees who can bring in money and expertise to help the country and the Cuban people. Cuba is a safe country with relatively decent people who are unlike the other countries in Caribbeans and Latin America which are mostly very dangerous. There's a lot of things for Canadian retirees to do in Cuba, its cost of living is very cheap, much cheaper than China. A lot of business and development opportunities in Cuba. Yes, despite Cuba is a communist/socialist state, it allows private business ownerships. Cuba government should consider accepting Canadian retirees because Canada and Cuba have a good long relationship despite USA's sanction on Cuba.

[@peanut0brain]

Sounds like Cuba politically is just like China. China ccp is "socialism with Chinese characteristics" while citizens practice full capitalism (d0g eat d0g world). If Cuba uses BRICS+ financial system for international money transfers, then yankee sanctions will be worth toilet paper and Cuba will have full abilities to develop like China

[@alan2102X]

Very hard to get residency in Cuba.

[@grantbuchanan7295]

I thought they had a retirement visa?

[@Anonymous------]

​@@alan2102X If you have anything to contribute to aid Cuba and can demonstrate your political dependability, you may be able to work it out with the Cuban government. Because Canada has a long history of excellent relations with the Cuban government and has benefited Cuba greatly in the past, I suggest the Cuban government should consider allowing Canadian people to live in the country as long-term retiree residents. The government of Cuba provides limited selections of basic grocery food items at very low costs. A foreign retiree can live comfortably on a few Canadian dollars per day for staples like rice, beans, veggies, cheese, and some meats. For examples, half a kilogram of rice or beans costs roughly 50 Canadian cents; 1/2 kilo of cheese is $2; a whole chicken is $5; 1/2 kilo of mackerel fish is $1 and one kilo of bananas 25 cents. Government restaurants feature a small selection of menu items, but the foods are reasonable and low priced. As an example, a meal that includes soup, rice, beans, and pork costs approximately Canadian $2; a half-chicken supper with rice costs $3; a 9-inch pizza with tomato and cheese 50 cents. Although high quality government restaurants are rare in Cuba, there are some high-quality restaurants that are comparable to those in Canada or USA; you can enjoy a complete multi-course dinner in a clean professional full-service setting for less than $5. No tax and no tips required. Overall, if you prefer a simple, uncomplicated lifestyle without a focus on materialism or culinary options but dislike third-world filthiness and high crime rates, you might want to consider moving to Cuba. It has a low crime rate; the Cuban population is wholesome and civilized rather than highly sophisticated or violent. Cuba offers many economic prospects if you have money and connections with the government, and setting up a business there is easy if you can speak Spanish. I have traveled to roughly 30 nations across several continents, and I believe Cuba to be the best "poor third world" nation in the entire globe. Cuba is unquestionably where I would live in retirement if I could pick between that country and China. Cuba is more tranquil and has lower living costs than China, which is too commercialized and hectic with materialism and modernization. If this is something that interests you, contact the Cuban embassy or consulate, or the Cuban government directly. Take a trip to Cuba first; you won't be disappointed. Havana is the largest and busiest city, but I prefer to live in a small town in the countryside or near the coast. In terms of tourism and living, Cuba is the most misunderstood and underrated country. I hope the Cuban government will open its doors to Canadian retirees, particularly those with enough money to start a business there. When compared to other poor countries, Cuba's socialist government is actually rather good, if not excellent. I'm here talking a lot about Cuba because I think it's a terrific country for retirees on a tight budget who enjoy a simple, non-materialistic natural lifestyle.

Food prices in China are very cheap. In fact, China is the largest food importer in the world. However, imported food has not significantly affected the domestic market, because the amount of food produced in China is even larger. In other words, if your income is not high, you can choose only local food, and you still have a wealth of options. If you are rich, you can taste imported food as you like.

[@Tomas-oc4lo]

I agree with you but having a Chinese wife makes things easier😊

[@Gweilo60]

Yes it sure does but there are alternatives like learn a bit of the language or have bilingual friends.

[@bobevans9996]

ok in u r 60's - for a few yrs - how about when u r really old🤣

[@SagittarianArrows]

Very true. Plus plus Asian countries value the wisdom of the wise old wo(man). Elders are RESPECTED. Not going to be assaulted on the street. Nightlife is so safe. China does not tolerate unlawfulness. Social credit keeps everyone in check.

[@ytchuah4358]

Looting in china is a big mistake 🤣🤣🤣

[@WANDERER0070]

Chinese language is the bigest obstacle for living in China,Im considering Japan tho most polite people in the world

[@willchu]

Polite on the outside, and then bad mouth you behind your back. Clearly, you haven't spent any significant time in Japan, and has only been fetishizing for years.

[@Gweilo60]

They don't speak English either. We went there thinking no problem they speak English. Not.

[@hclau218]

😂😂you think Japanese is easy?

[@grouchypatch9185]

The other side of their dual personality. Politeness as demanded in public ambience but they have the other darker personality that is hidden away. That is very superficial. Whilst generally the Chinese are less polite as they prefer to be true to their feelings. At least you would know where you'd stand with them.

@@grouchypatch9185 I prefer the realness than the fake politeness of the Japanese.
