Now that China is perceived to be on the rise, perhaps becoming a superpower, a lot of overseas born and raised Chinese seem to want to move to China. Well, that's my take.<br /><br />We live in "interesting times" (pace Confucius)!

Not only overseas Chinese born and raised in the US, but overseas Chinese born and raised in other Western nations including nations which would ostensibly be opposed to the mainland China's gov't. An example is a Canadian born and raised Taiwanese who hopes Taiwan will reunite with China and who hopes to emigrate to China. Other examples are relatives of mine literally leaving the West and moving to China, despite having lived most their lives in the West, and fully acculturated in the West. I might be mistaken, but Lue-Yee Tsang strikes me in this vein.Epistle of Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779184015407034200noreply@blogger.com
