    I disagree, their parents went through so much worse and they saw China rise, the belief is if they can stick through just a little they might find a new opportunity, or maybe things will just work out.

    Also they don’t think things are magically better elsewhere, so maybe it’s just that.

    For us the price might not make sense, but I understand if it does to them at least.

      I disagree

      I’m not sure what you say you’re disagreeing with.

      I’m saying a portion of the population with still valid passports may choose to leave because of these new restrictions. Are you disagreeing and saying “not a single person with a valid passport will choose to leave China forever”?

        Fine, I’m suggesting most people would choose their money over their lives right now, though that might change over time.

          I agree with you on this. My point at the beginning of this thread was the group of folks choosing their money over their lives is now getting smaller now that it looks like they may not have the chance the make the choice again at a later date (when their passport is seized).
