Wondering which states in America you believe are best situated to deal with incoming disasters, and/or other countries you think are less likely to face some of the more severe effects.

      I've heard it's feasible to get a job teaching English with basically that skillset. No idea on the details, though.

          230 million people still speak French with a projection of 650 million in 30 years and their empire exploded centuries ago. English will be important your entire lifetime.

        You get a z visa which is good for 30 days on arrival. To do this you need a job, you need 2 years experience or a TEFL and then you need to convert to short term residency on arrival. Short term residency is renewable every 12 months.

        20,000 people in the last 10 years were issued permanent residency in China. This is above a 100 percent improvement from the previous decade where about about 8000 people were issued permanent residency. China does not want you.

            You do as you get older since it’s required for citizenship as well. You might be young now, but imagine being 60 and having the threat of being kicked out of the country each year to some place you haven’t spent the majority of your life. Chinas immigration policy alone should strike it off anyone seriously thinking about a move larger than a 5 year trip in their 20s.

                Are you dense? This is Asia so pretty often, but you are strongly encouraged to go before you get forced to. Also China has a mandatory retirement at age 60 so good luck keeping your work visa past that point so you can watch your kids get married while you get deported back to wherever after you got a divorce or your significant other died. Your short term residency permit having to be refilled every year while the rules change constantly as well doesn’t help. At that point why not just go to Vietnam if you really want to be in a socialist run country?

      No. They don’t take 8 figure phds married to Chinese citizens now, why would they even consider you?
