From my YouTube investigation, China seems like a exciting place to be. It has great infrastructure, which might be better than in the US. There are many multi billion dollar software companies which are super innovative. It seems like a safer country than US. Given all this, what are the main reasons you prefer US over staying in China ?
Air quality and less over crowding ?
Preference for Democracy over communism?
money, air, democracy
What does the salaries look like for (companies like) wechat and Alibaba?
what I like: - relatively less corrupt government - better air quality and access to health care for non-routine issues - better internet infrastructure and lack of cencorship - cheaper cars - greater tolerance for less than normal behavior - higher hourly wage
Thanks for providing a real answer! Unlike the other trolls in this thread who are regurgitating Western journalism

actually i just feel i have become too lazy to go back and face even move faster with faster culture. half of my friends went back, and many of they have become successful entrepreneurs. no glass ceiling there.
China is run by an authoritarian communist party. Also id rethink the whole “good infrastructure” thing. For example, China is riddled with ghost cities. Yes. Great infrastructure indeed.
As a Chinese, it’s the people. The overall attitude towards one another feels very hostile at times
Cause you don’t have access to Google, Gmail, Twitter, WhatsApp in mainland China - simply put, no freedom of speech under the communist regime. Also, there are too many people - think about it - 1.4 billion - the streets, the shops, the restaurants, the buses, the rails, the washrooms, everywhere, are packed with people!
That's the least thing I worry about in China. You can use VPN to get around. China is also no denser than NYC. The major complains for most software engineers in China is the bad WLB. If you manage to climb to management position, it's actually better to work in China.
The question is redirect to Chinese engineers in the U.S. Obviously you are not.
The fact that I’m not expected to conform to social norms and just be myself
