Im in my first year of college in the USA and I want out of here. I feel like anything I learn in college here will just be exploited by capitalists if I stay here. Should I stay in college here or look to get out earlier. If I stay should I change my major from computer science to computer engineering. If I leave how do I actually get to china/ gain citizenship there?
From my research:
education in China, or getting a graduate degree there (difficult).
Getting a good graduate degree here and using it for employment there.
working for a non-Chinese multinational that lets people transfer to work there (maybe difficult).
TEFL and working as an English teacher - less available now than before, not great money, limited options to flip into permanent residency. Still probably the easiest on the list.
Pie in the sky: getting Taiwanese citizenship and banking on unification to get you full Chinese citizenship
Thank you for providing an actual answer. I hate the people both here and on reddit who look at this question and just get incensed by the audacity for some reason.
Sure thing! I get where some of them are coming from, but I’d love to get tf out of the U$
If you get Taiwanese citizenship, you can pretty much go everywhere in China. The government is very deliberate to treat Taiwanese equivalent to mainland Chinese. You could probably just try that.
Good point!
Getting HK residency is relatively straight forward too. You can get permanent residency by legally working and living there for a continuous period of 7 years. After that, you apply to the Immigration Department for verification. This grants you permanent resident status in Hong Kong.
Although, that does not make you a Chinese citizen, you would still have to go through a separate naturalization process for Chinese nationality.
Permanent residency is a big first step!
Exactly, for the most part it’s as good as citizenship in practical terms. I was actually in HK for around a week just a little while back, and honestly it’s pretty great. If you have a job, it’s a very nice place to live. Everything is walkable, the weather is great, lots of fantastic food that’s really cheap, and the city looks amazing.
