In videos on the popular social media and e-commerce platform, influencers paint a picture of paradise that promises something for all. For stressed-out parents, cheap international schools and the possibility of remote work in an exotic locale await. For retirees, there is affordable healthcare just a stone’s throw from the beach. “We don’t need our kids to ‘win’ before reaching the finish line,” says a woman in Chinese, over footage of an idyllic-looking Finnish school in Phuket, where English is widely spoken and pupils come from around the world. “Our kids don’t have to have the highest grades or be the most disciplined. We just want them to enjoy life and be happy.” Full story: https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2023/1/6/tired-of-the-grind-chinas-well-off-eye-slower-pace-in-thailand -- © Copyright AL JAZEERA 2023-01-07 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

ezzra Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I think the attraction is more of freedom from tyranny, cruel and oppressive government rule, imprisonments and executions, not to mention the the many millions who are Omicron XBB1.5 stricken... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketDog Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 2 hours ago, John Drake said: So, not about tourism but colonization. A core facet of the CCP plan for global domination, which they transparently admit to. It has been underway for decades and is very successful to date. To be fair though, this strategy has been a tenet of Islam for thousands of years. They simply infiltrate a country and start shucking out babies. It takes longer but is foolproof. They currently outnumber the Chinese in global population yet distributed more evenly across the world than the Chinese will be for years to come. Naturally the CCP understands this and takes strenuous measures to contain them in their own country. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
