The bankers that I've talked won't go (back) to China because of the pollution, specifically the smog. They refuse to put their children in that environment.

Cultural, social, language, and food differences are all superficial reasons not to go to, or stay, in China. They can be dealt with an open, understanding mind. However, the salary or career benefits don't make up for it when your children and spouse are breathing that air.
- tannhauser23 10y agoTotally this. I have a friend who's running his company's Shanghai operations. They installed four air purifiers in their home just to keep the smog out - and Shanghai is a relatively clean air city! They have to check the smog report every morning to see if it's okay to take their kid outside. I would never raise a family in that environment.
