<content:encoded><![CDATA[1. Opportunity. The global economies almost everywhere else in the world are in the sewers except for China.
2. Cost of living. It's just darn cheap here - not to mention taobao, 360buy, etc.
3. Blending...or not.
4. Safety for kids - aside from the occasional moron - it's fairly safe for children here, unlike the USA which engages in catch and release for child molesters (and we won't discuss catholic priests).]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[That's a very interesting question...one of the best so far, thanks HFCAMPO.

I think it's opportunity and curiousity.
1) It's a colorful place to be compared to the boring places back home.
2) Same as india there is stuff here that you can learn nowhere else.
3) I wouldn't really say professional opportunities, because social-
 compliance is more valued than professional expertise.
4) Beauty, some places in China are breath taking beauties.
5) The choice of different lifestyles, you can be a successful workaholic 
 or a chilled, slacker (in the good sense) and still be able to have 
 food on the table, shelter and even bring your kids through happily.
6) Anger Management, if you make it through China without beating 
 someone almost killing you in traffic or being complete asses 
 sometimes (as many foreigner can be as well). You can live 
 anywhere in the world. :D
7) It is a wonderful place to live, if you don't focus on some of the crap 
 that goes on here and if you keep your eyes open for the good 
 stuff.
8) Aside the many jerks, there are such wonderful people here making 
 up for every jackass you meet here, tenfold.
9) I know it's the last point but sooooo important "FOOOOOOOOD"!!!!!]]></content:encoded>
