China demographics thread.

I heard some news on unreliable media, saying that last year China lost the most millionaires in the world (emigrated to other countries). I wonder how much in this statement is truth, or fabricated my western MSM?

Well China probably has the largest # of millionaires in the world too, so it really doesn't mean much.

Since it takes a lot longer to get citizenship in most countries than a year, chances are, those metrics either track people who have been in the pipe line for a long time, or people who obtained permanent residency in other countries, rather than citizenship. Fact is, many better off Chinese do the latter as a safety measure, without intent of leaving China, or because they want their kids to go to school there.
