WHY RETIRE in CHINA? 

maybe a smaller city.

@@ralphwiggum250N live in a smaller city in China?

​@@ralphwiggum250Nfind a third tier city that has good weather, for example some cities in Guizhou province , Yunnan province

Why are westerners retiring to China when they have not contributed to China in anyway ? If you spent your life contributing to the US war state don't come to China and expect to be accepted with open arms especially when the country you gave your taxes to wants to attack China and destroy what china has built . Those who are actual friends of China , that fine your welcome , those who just want an easy life in their retirement after they consistently supported the US warmongers in their suppression of China , please stay where you are ....

Yup and honestly if you live in a big city most houses are way more then 550k..

@@joek7031 The average 3 bedroom 2 bath home is about $550k. In some states, like where I live(California), the average home costs $750k.

That's why west love democracy cause western also love paying property taxes to "own" their property. Unlike Chinese who doesn't pay property tax on their residenal property cause chinese doesn't "own" their home. /s

Before retirement, my property tax was $3,000 per annum. Now I am retired with fixed income, my property tax is now $12,000. Except for normal maintenance, my house is the same as when I bought it. They just keep increasing the valuation of my property every year. The kicker is that if I sell my house, I would not have the same buying power as when my house was worth the $3,000 property tax.

@@wroughtforge7547 F property tax... we don't really own property in the US, if we have to pay rent on it every year.

@@davidmager2827Chinese penitentiary system is actually rehabilitating because their social system values bringing honor to their family. If one is imprisoned for a crime they and their family feel an enormous shame, they actually try to do better once they come out. That’s why there’re not a lot of crimes in China.

That's what I heard. You guys are lucky that you have a mainland travel permit, not so lucky for us Canadians.

Why does Kurt burn bridges in the West?

Smart. Make money in hk and spend it in cheaper mainland

Correct. sometimes I doubt there's collusion between the U.S. food industries and Pharmaceutical giants, the former make people unhealthy and the latter sell pills to the people, this is trillion dollar business. 💀

Sounds like Cuba politically is just like China. China ccp is "socialism with Chinese characteristics" while citizens practice full capitalism (d0g eat d0g world). If Cuba uses BRICS+ financial system for international money transfers, then yankee sanctions will be worth toilet paper and Cuba will have full abilities to develop like China

Very hard to get residency in Cuba.

I thought they had a retirement visa?

​@@alan2102X If you have anything to contribute to aid Cuba and can demonstrate your political dependability, you may be able to work it out with the Cuban government. Because Canada has a long history of excellent relations with the Cuban government and has benefited Cuba greatly in the past, I suggest the Cuban government should consider allowing Canadian people to live in the country as long-term retiree residents. The government of Cuba provides limited selections of basic grocery food items at very low costs. A foreign retiree can live comfortably on a few Canadian dollars per day for staples like rice, beans, veggies, cheese, and some meats. For examples, half a kilogram of rice or beans costs roughly 50 Canadian cents; 1/2 kilo of cheese is $2; a whole chicken is $5; 1/2 kilo of mackerel fish is $1 and one kilo of bananas 25 cents. Government restaurants feature a small selection of menu items, but the foods are reasonable and low priced. As an example, a meal that includes soup, rice, beans, and pork costs approximately Canadian $2; a half-chicken supper with rice costs $3; a 9-inch pizza with tomato and cheese 50 cents. Although high quality government restaurants are rare in Cuba, there are some high-quality restaurants that are comparable to those in Canada or USA; you can enjoy a complete multi-course dinner in a clean professional full-service setting for less than $5. No tax and no tips required. Overall, if you prefer a simple, uncomplicated lifestyle without a focus on materialism or culinary options but dislike third-world filthiness and high crime rates, you might want to consider moving to Cuba. It has a low crime rate; the Cuban population is wholesome and civilized rather than highly sophisticated or violent. Cuba offers many economic prospects if you have money and connections with the government, and setting up a business there is easy if you can speak Spanish. I have traveled to roughly 30 nations across several continents, and I believe Cuba to be the best "poor third world" nation in the entire globe. Cuba is unquestionably where I would live in retirement if I could pick between that country and China. Cuba is more tranquil and has lower living costs than China, which is too commercialized and hectic with materialism and modernization. If this is something that interests you, contact the Cuban embassy or consulate, or the Cuban government directly. Take a trip to Cuba first; you won't be disappointed. Havana is the largest and busiest city, but I prefer to live in a small town in the countryside or near the coast. In terms of tourism and living, Cuba is the most misunderstood and underrated country. I hope the Cuban government will open its doors to Canadian retirees, particularly those with enough money to start a business there. When compared to other poor countries, Cuba's socialist government is actually rather good, if not excellent. I'm here talking a lot about Cuba because I think it's a terrific country for retirees on a tight budget who enjoy a simple, non-materialistic natural lifestyle.

The food in Cuba is not as good as it is in China!

lmaooooo

true, life in U$A is like an adventure in the wild wild west, so much fun, you never know when you'd be shot or knifed....it certainly keeps you awake or numb.

You can take drugs freely in the United States

snow mountains in the west part, huge grassland in Inner-Mongolia, and great forest in the Northeast where tigers live. 🐯

I’m a Chinese Canadian and I concur that getting a travel Chinese sim card is a hassle, but it’s very possible. Most mobile phone stores got a back office or on the 2nd floor where they can provide you with a sim card, just bring your passport.

There apps that can talk to alipay to pay with your foreign sim card

Malaysia would be the best of all the choices you are considering.

😂😂😂😂😂

Probably he feel safe 24/7 in China. And with a beer on his hand relaxing. Less stress. In the West he probably has to turn his head 180 degree every now and then looking out for crazy men roaming the streets with guns. This create more stress and will look older.

True. But Asian cuisine are better than American, Canadian and European ones. Asians use proper seasonings unlike the white Europeans.

we dont have any proper scheme for "retirement visitors"... medical care alone is a big consideration for policy makers... and i dont think any other major economies would offer such services, apart from getting tourist visa.

Same as in USA, foreigners are not permitted to stay as permanent residents unless under some certain qualifications and approved by the government.

When you got money you can do anything you want except come back to life after death.

@@danwelterweight4137 Yep, you are so right Dan. Dead right! How are you? Hope you are ok and keeping well. Bao zhong.

Just adaption and learning the customs, takes time but worth it. LESS CRIME

​@@SagittarianArrowshard to get a visa to stay in China unless u have a good reason like a Chinese spouse (which I do)

@@SagittarianArrows Bro, all that doesn't matter if you cannot get a long-term stay visa which MOST foreigners don't qualify at the retirement age.

Malaysia would be a better choice compared to Thailand

移民香港或者台湾

​@@whatsyourname9289Both Hong Kong and Taiwan is a shit whole. Taiwanese engineers are coming to Shenzhen as the mainland companies pays them more than the Taiwanese one. Also Taiwan and Hong kong is more expensive than the mainland. Hong Kong is the most expensive Asian city. Also Hong Kong is nothing but a small Island boring where only the rich(you need to be a multi millionaire yo even buy a proper 2/3 bedroom apartment)can afford a proper home and have fun. If u don't like China or being skeptical about retiring their, Malaysia is a good option. According to many news articles, Malaysia is the best place for retirement. Thailand is also good.

They have 10 year visas with stays of 180 days. It is a pain though to have to travel every six months.

I thought it was every 60 days (for an L visa,) guess I'll have to reread that.@@Gweilo60

It's what you request. If you don't ask they auto give 60 days.

Polite on the outside, and then bad mouth you behind your back. Clearly, you haven't spent any significant time in Japan, and has only been fetishizing for years.

They don't speak English either. We went there thinking no problem they speak English. Not.

😂😂you think Japanese is easy?

The other side of their dual personality. Politeness as demanded in public ambience but they have the other darker personality that is hidden away. That is very superficial. Whilst generally the Chinese are less polite as they prefer to be true to their feelings. At least you would know where you'd stand with them.

@@grouchypatch9185 I prefer the realness than the fake politeness of the Japanese.

Looting in china is a big mistake 🤣🤣🤣
