It's not just the economy. I predict social upheaval and maybe a civil war too. Don't be a gongkia or gong CB and go there just because your powderful Sinkie red passport gives you 30-day visa-free travel.

Ms Li, 27, is part of a growing base of Chinese workers swopping high-pressure office jobs for flexible blue-collar work.
Many of them used to work for some of the biggest companies in the country.
But these firms are slowly losing their appeal as China’s economy faces headwinds including a property crisis, declining foreign investment and slumping consumption.
