Wow, just wow! That says a lot. Thanks for your well detailed response, I appreciate it a lot!
I've noticed that if you want to research a topic regarding to china, there is always some kind of sided news source. They are either anti-china or pro-china. Where did you usually get your news from regarding china? Any non-state controlled news source?
I am planning to move to China next year, will likely spend 4-5 years there, but China is becoming more hostile towards foreigners compared to when I was living there (2016-2017)
I don't want to work for a Chinese company, but we will likely get married.
As for the 4-5 years, I don't know, I have never made plans that far in my life, it's just a random number that would allow me to become fluent in the language and experience the country rather well.
I think both of us wants to spend some time in Eastern Europe as well, we will see
