    Struggling to connect a few dots here. Why would so many Chinese folks want to get US citizenship and head back over to China? What's that accomplishing for them

      Because they would, all things considered, rather live in China at the moment. However their concern is being able to leave if the CCP tries to confiscate wealth or take other actions against the bourgeoisie there. Not saying it's rational, but it's what they think.

        I think this is also partly the reason for the rise in property prices in the US, Canada, and the UK. Real estate is a relatively safe place to stash wealth, and many of the foreign buyers in recent years are Chinese nationals.
