Several studies state a same perspective that, in China, 80 percent of social wealth is palmed in the 20 percent people’s hands. And yet, most of the happy few have or had (already gone) the desire to emigrate. “Among those mainland business owners who possess over 100 million RMB (about $ 16 million), 27 percent have already emigrated, while another 47 percent are considering emigrating.” ( the Atlantic: why China’s Rich Want to Leave 2013-4-11) The loss of wealth lead to serious a problem: maybe after 20 years, China will become the world’s poorest countries. Why the rich, highly educated citizens in China want to leave their motherland where they were born and bred, where most of their wealth come from?
In the article “reasons for Chinese Immigration to the U.S.”, written by Mark Orwell (as cited in eHow ), the author states that, the reasons for Chinese emigration lie in the following aspects: Economics, Career Options and Social Issues. First, although most of the modern Chinese emigration do not have a economic problem, Chinese emigration workers tend to earn more compared in China to support themselves. Second, as for career options, the U.S. like other developed countries can provide more opportunities for the highly educated individuals to further their study especially in the technology and engineering fields, therefore it explain why there are increasingly more Chinese scientists and engineers choose to emigrate. At last, as one of the few communist countries, Chinese government has a firmly concentrated control on its citizens which means a limited space for the personal growth, not to mention the riot and high crime rates.
