Fascism is obviously spreading all over the Nazi-infested West. Is it a pipe dream to flee to China or is it worth starting to learn some Chinese?

Is anyone seriously making moves to try?

Yea but this is something that kinda just fell into my lap. I'm at the end of a STEM degree with a minor in Chinese and have 3 years worth of language learning.

I visited Beijing over the summer and I wouldn't call myself fluent but was able to hold conversations with most people and probably would have been able to get by eventually if I stayed.

The only reason I would probably be able to move there is because they opened up K Visas for STEM majors and my language proficiency.

If you want to go to China you can't really "flee" there, you need a visa to enter the country and you won't be able to work and make money unless you have a bachelor's degree and get hired by a Chinese company or have enough money to start your own "wholly foreigned owned enterprise" and essentially hire yourself and give yourself a work visa that way.

Nah I'm not rich enough. I doubt China has good Mexican food anyway.

If I land a job there, I'd move. I've applied to a number of Chinese companies, or companies with a large Chinese presence, but I haven't got any bites.

I took Chinese classes, but that was quite a while ago and non-Latin language skills decay very quickly without practice. I'd probably have to learn most of it all over again.

To have a life separated from fascist crackers, who are in the middle of devouring themselves and everyone around them in multiple western countries.

I am because I met someone there, going to try to make it work. Second time I've been there. At least for the remaining Trump years.
