I often wish I could move to China and live there, even if for a few years, but I don’t think they’d want someone like me. In a Capitalist system, I’m considered worthless as I can’t work a traditional job, and most days I barely have energy to make myself food, let alone go out and do some grocery shopping.
I don’t really know much about China other than they have some socialist policies, but even then I don’t think they’d want disabled people to immigrate. It would be amazing if they had government workers who’s job is to take care of people that can’t take care of themselves. And of course social housing that’s actually well-built and livable. Not like in NA where social housing is often dilapidated, moldy, and lacks basic necessities like laundry.
Even then there’s a language barrier to consider, and I heard it’s difficult to learn them, Mandarin, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, etc.
Plus, loneliness. I don’t have any friends that live in China. Though, it seems a lot of Chinese people are really friendly to foreigners so it might not be very difficult to make new friends. At the same time, I don’t know what the general stance on interracial marriage is in China. How difficult would it be for a foreigner to date and marry someone there?
You could look into studying? Education is pretty cheap over there, or even free if you can get a government scholarship. But yeah, otherwise working is the only real way to exist long-term in China.

Less of a problem than people think. Not endorsing the attitude but I knew foreigners who lived in China for years without knowing a word of Chinese. You can go with nothing and learn on the ground.
Plus, loneliness.
China’s the same as anywhere, if you’re relatively outgoing you’ll make plenty of friends quick, and yeah foreigners do get a little bit of a boost just by standing out. Foreigners dating locals is very normal too, there’s not really a stigma against it. Much more common for foreign men than women though.
I wish China would make a little English enclave and somehow the US government wouldn’t try to fuck it up. They could put a couple government does stuff factories, a housing block, and communal farmland and we’d be straight chilling. There’d need to be a reeducation camp we go to on the weekends where we learn our hanzi, what’s cool about China+communism, how to be a citizen, and what’s neat & where in China. But also camping activities where we meet new people, elect managers, and practice being a union. They’d just have to interview you and look over your hexbear chat logs to see whether you’re chill like that.

It’s nice to dream
