From the NYT: many Americans are fleeing to China for riches and power. Sort of:

Mr. Woetzel of McKinsey said work experience in China was not an automatic ticket to a great job back home. He said it was not a marker the way an Ivy League education is: “The mere fact of just showing up and working in China and speaking Chinese is not enough.”

That said, Mr. Woetzel added, someone who has been able to make their mark in China is a valuable hire. “At McKinsey, we are looking for people who have demonstrated leadership,” he said, “and working in a context like China builds character, requires you to be a lot more entrepreneurial and forces you to innovate.”

Speaking Chinese alone isn’t enough?! Well what the. I suppose most of these expatriates also have blogs and take lots of photographs, which they then edit beyond original recognition.

In truth I didn’t even try to find employment in the U.S., thinking it more beneficial from a mental health perspective. At least there will be others. We can have America-town parties.
