Even educated Europeans are desparate for a Silicon Valley visa, since there's nothing to keep the EU economically relevant in the digital age. Its a culture shock to priveleged foreigners, including Chinese, who long for a life where everyday is supposedly sipping an espresso and eating a gourmet ham sandwich at a quaint sidewalk cafe. But Europeans have ambitions too and one can only admire the architecture and bikeability of European cities for so long before its time to grind like anyone else and in the EU there's simply nothing to advance your career or bring your idea to fruition.I feel like it takes a very specific kind of mentality (hint hint the self-hating kind) for a Chinese person to actively pursue emigration to a European country these days, especially a Nordic one at that. Most of the second gen diaspora Chinese I've met who grew up in Europe desperately wanted to leave.
