The reason is, its so difficult to get a working visa UK companies don't bother. Unless your a Swiss born astrophysicist nobody is going to wade though the paperwork to get you a visa. The problem with Swiss born astrophysicist is cause, they have higher exceptions, than your average expat grunt engineer.

Also Chinese is a hell of a lot easier to learn than most European languages once you get past the first couple of months and figure out the tones and characters a bit. No plurals, no verb conjugations, no verb tenses, therefore no irregular verbs. And even a little bit goes a long way to having a very good time.

Free schools, free hopsitals, probably get a passport within a few years, lots of pretty places to live, one of the biggest and most popular cities in the world as the capital - which is accessible within hours from the ENTIRE country, easy access to Europe and North America.....it's very attractive.
**** it, I might move home.

Haha, Never trust anybody that over sells you something. During dessert storm a bunch of muscle bound guys with short hair walked in to a bar I was drinking in near Incilik air force base. They told anybody that would listen that they were process engineers. One of them asked a kiwi mate of mine what he did for a living. He replied "I'm a process engineer a real one". the bar got a lot more peaceful.
