‘Gone down a lot’: why Chinese travellers are shunning US and Europe
China’s tourists are increasingly skipping Western destinations in favour of the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Travelex data shows.
Its a mystery why this could possibly be
If i wasn't American or I could leave the US and become a citizen elsewhere I probably would do it, Especially if i wasn't disabled and could provide for myself by working a full time job. The thing that keeps me from moving is the fact that while the US currently does suck majorly I earn an income from the state due to my fathers work and my disabilities, one of the few concessions from the US still holding on thus making it possible for me to live here. I can't imagine not living here and choosing to come here knowing what is going on. It would be like watching Germany in its rise to fascism and choosing to visit it while being a soviet citizen and expecting nothing to happen with the knowledge it was happening and is going to happen more.
Even without disability; it's expensive to revoke your citizenship and often requires a lot of hoops to jump through depending on what country you're in. Probably easier in China compared to say, Cambodia or Uruguay simply because I imagine there's more embassies in China.
I hope your father's work keeps paying out for you. I have a few friends in a situation with social security right now.
fwiw my laoshi told me she did not want to go to the US because its dangerous for chinese people
It's true
