It's been 20yrs since I visited India, but I remember Delhi, Mumbai, and Calcutta each had a newer part of the city where living was easier. China doesn't seem to have the the crime problems of many larger Western cities, or the "no-go zones" of US cities, but of course the price is less freedom. Many Westerners though enjoy living in a different environment, such as India or China, for a few years anyway, though not many would want to spend the rest of their lives there. Overall, it seems most Chinese I talk to in China would emigrate to the US, Canada, or Australia if they could [though I admit my sample is skewed, i.e. Chinese who take the trouble to approach me to talk in English].
