Staying in America for job or go to Hong Kong

Peter

My uncle came to America and was temporarily paralyzed due to an “accident “ and according to their medical insurance, it’s possible to have family to accompany him back to Hong Kong with expenses paid.

I recently got a reply from a job application and they want to have a short screening via a video call. If I land the job, I need to stay (unless it’s long term remote work).

Should I use this as a chance to escape America again, or stay and do the job and take care of parents like I originally planned?

I have a relative who in his 50s moved to China, never having had much of a career, and married a young woman there. They have two kids now, and she being a doctor is the provider of the family. This is a much better outcome than he could have ever hoped for in America, so I would say the outlook is better in China than in America.

That’s not gonna happen to me, as I am not white. The “returning” Chinese Americans are often persecuted by the natives. Plus I am a mainlander mandarin speaker, who are disliked in Hong Kong.

My relative is not white, he is Iranian. Things may have also changed since he moved to China in the 90s.

Maybe you can come to Colombia. I feel like I was viewed as an American despite not being white, and people were friendly and helpful towards me. It is cheap too so if you have even a little bit of money it will go a long way. And it is only a 3 hour flight from Miami.
