#2 Joy Xi emigrated to Canada nearly a decade ago. When I asked why people leave, despite rising prosperity in China, her answer was swift: "Sanlu," the company notorious for producing melamine-laced milk powder that killed six babies and sickened hundreds of thousands more in 2008. Few believe the problem is over.

The opportunity evades us to export thousands of bureaucrats, who instead of shutting down a 7 year old's lemonade stand, can be effectively employed in real pure food regulation someplace in China.

#3 An even deeper understanding comes of the Chinese belief that there is a natural cycle to China. First, building up from scratch, then maintaining, then allowing to decay, then to wipe the plate clean. The last Emperor was a "decadent" cycle Emperor, and Mao acted just like a "destroyer" Emperor, just as if he had been an Emperor.

And China right now is either approaching a decadent or destructive phase, so it makes a great deal of sense to bug out.

#4 What makes you think China is in a declining phase instead of in a building or maintaining phase?
