A weakening economy and increasing political repression are forcing ever more Chinese people to emigrate. Spurred by TikTok, many are seeking more sustainable conditions in the United States.

    Most Americans are trying to get their children into schools in China

    lol wut? I’ve not met a single person trying to get their kids into schools in China. All the people I know who have immigrated from China are like “fuck that place, but I love going back because it’s my home and my family is there.”

      Nope, it’s been stated, so it’s a fact here. You are just in your own tiny bubble of people who don’t want to live in China.

          Remember what Disney taught you. “Just Believe!” When you believe, it’ll be true, and all the occasional people you meet who aren’t heading to China will be unusual outliers.

          Listen to your feelings. You know it to be true. Everyone wants to move to China. Just Believe!
