Why would they stay? China is seeing a huge boom in the tech industry and it's only the beginning. The future is there, not in SV. I'm kinda jealous of my friends who learned Chinese in college and are now working there.

Being only part chinese, I can tell you unless you are full han chinese, you will have a hard time on the mainland, regardless of how much chinese/mandarin you know.

Edit: Im not going to share personal stories, I dont want my relatives there to suffer for anything that gets reported back.

I can attest to this.

Unless you are a 6 foot plus black guy with a wicked three point shot... do not go to China to make your fortune if you are not Chinese. Go to China to ASSIST someone ELSE in making a fortune instead. You'll be a good deal more successful.
