Young Chinese opt out of rat race and pressures at home to pursue global nomad lifestyle

How long it lasts before opportunities are no longer overseas? How long it takes for locals to be resistant to work tourists? etc? Problems everywhere and unless concrete solutions come up by so called G-power, unemployment, global warming, immigration, corruption, &more continue to get worse at alarming rate. BTW don't forget AI...

Considering all of the Chinese communities around the world this is nothing new. The Chinese came to the US in the late 1800’s to help build railroads and established large communities in California. Similar to Indians. In college I worked at a restaurant in West Philly owned by a large immigrant Indian family that had first immigrated to Kenya then the US.

The name says it all, this "rat race" is dehumanizing.

Once you see the light there is no going back.

No one should work more than 4 days a week.

“I now value freedom more,” Zhang said.

uh oh ccp, futures on its way.

This is where the change comes about, grass roots. Just say no to the corporate systemic slavery.

Nice gig if you can afford it.

So, the ccp is sending out sleeper cells.

Many countries are making this tougher, but if you are young, don't have responsibilities and have good language skills (Thai is a good deal tougher than Japanese), it is an option.

There will always be racism and it can progress into hate crimes and pogroms when the economy gets tough and nationalism increases. So be aware of the risks and have an exit strategy.

Getting out of any dictatorship is a good plan, but you have to pay the bills wherever you go.

The other group doing this are retirees. Despite Brexit making it tougher, many older Brits still retire to Spain, Portugal or Greece. Turkey has been advertising for tourists with considerable success and may be the next major location to open up for retirees.

GBR48 just couldn't help taking a swipe at Brexit, could he? Seven years on, and still scarred!
