Living in China is fine. It's fun, especially if you have money. Many
people, including from both Taiwan and Hong Kong do it. They feel
comfortable doing this because for quite a while now, China has beeen
OK for pretty much anyone to live. But you need to have money to make
it really work. And unfortunately, a lot of people are very poor.
