It is a joint development by a sgp company with a prc joint-venture.... a small group of sgporeans already settle down there and they have some sort of a club going.... lost their number but you can try a search with the chinese name of the place....
I bought a place there.... just for holidays when the rapids are opened during the tourism seasons....
Work hard... earn more in sgp... but buy an apartment in southern china or suzhou or hangzhou or ningbo... then you can retire nicely in china with just your cpf and hdb flat rental...
It costs only SGD500 a month to live comfortably in a nice chinese city... not the shanghai or expensive cities... but nice cozy ones like ningbo or hangzhou or even suzhou...
More information in next update....
Hi bro.
Good idea, I have thought that China are open to having overseas chinese working for them.
My humble two cents.
Suzhou is nice place to retire. After all most sg own their flats and if they rent out the rental can be used to sustain your lifestyle there. You can live comfortably with less than S$1000 per mth over there.
In my tour of china... one can live comfortably in suzhou (except SIP) with less than RMB3000 or about SGD600 a month...
A typical costs of living in a mid-size prc city for an adult...
Food (wet market) rmb 1500
Utilities rmb 400
Occasional eat out rmb 600
Miscellaneous rmb 500

Some recommended cities (but may change as more more new smaller cities catches up).... suzhou, ningbo, hangzhou, changzhou, harbin, jilin....
Anyone for Xiamen & neighbouring city Quanzhou Fujian province? NOT Guangzhou hah. Quanzhou is further up north also in Fujian province from Xiamen, its about 2 hrs or less away by car travel. Also Minnan speaking or Hokkien. But the proper name for Hokkien dialect in China & Taiwan is Minnan dialect. Hokkien is the name of province lah don't know why in Spore, they corrupted it & called it the dialect!
Non Elite,
Do NOT agree with you on the QA QC after the Olympics. PRCs will not have any sense of what is a good quality product like the Japs. The best PRC R&D scientists still prefer USA, Europe & yes even Japan. The continued efforts of China to lure back its best scientists is at best a flop. Its not just money, its about soft power like peer influence; eg how many Nobel prize winners in physics, chemistry, medicine can you find in China? Zero right! If those Chinese scientists had not migrated to USA before Communism fell in the 1945, they probably would not have won numerous Nobel prizes in their adopted country of USA!
R&D in China will always remain as Replicate & Duplicate. Why? Simple, CORRUPTION. Central govt can say stamp out corruption, but there are so many Corrupt state & county officials where the long arm of the law cannot reach becos the long arm is chopped by so many corrupted officials along the way.

The over populated single males will resort to RAPE lah!
Still, I think Thailand beats China hands down if you wish to uproot permanently. Chiang Mai weather is cooler than Bangkok. So what if there is military coups, so what if there is mass people protest. These are signs of political maturity in Thailand unlike Spore scaredy cats citizens.
Considering Thailand. China is way too alien unless you opt for Fujian province that is if u are Hokkien speaking.

Bro,
This is a very big mistake to begin with. Never have the idea of importing stuff from China & sell here. Our market is too small. Go do some market research, import something niche to China. If you can earn just 0.01 RMB from ervery chinese there will make you a multimillionaire. Btw, they have a population of 1.4 billion.

On a similar note, Anyone got good tips for Getting a HK ID card and then settle back into China with Wui Heung Cheng ( Home return permit)
I understand that with HK , need 7 years of continuous stay (i.e Work permit or simlar type of permit) one is eligible for HK ID card. I am currently sourcing for either Job or my present employee to post me there so that I can start the clock on this first.
Just looking now for any ideas, as HK and China despite the lack of cleaner and neater environments, represents for me a chance to grow my career and be part of the dynamic market.

I share his views. He is correct. SINGAPORE won't make it in 30-40 years time. If not why Singapore build CASINO. Singapore is constantly fighting for SURVIVAL. PAP and Government only talk COCK. You have no fxxking idea how good the government lifestyle is while Singaporean have to fight for a living. Only big countries with power and resource has the forsight. They can take 3-4 steps ahead while Singaporean take only 1-2 step ahead.
Or if you want go travel out of SINGAPORE SHORES and see the world's perspective views and you will come to realise it. GO OUT OF SINGAPORE and see the world. You can backpack or whatever. Don't have to spend so much. backpacking is enough. Most important is learn other countries first before you can think and say here.
TRUST ME. Please go visit China and their culture will give you some insight. I can feel what Non_Elite has just said. At last he is willing to share what he knows.
Enough of my ramblings. ^_^
