Does this strategy still work in a world with highest possibility of migration we ever had? If I live in a consumption repressed country and can see through the internet that the consumption rate is much better in other countries, I will also use my talent and resources to move to that country.
Since I can build a network online, since I can investigate laws online, even of other countries, since I can book and prepay for different steps to take in migration I have a much easier time than ever before to simply go somewhere else.
At the same time the psychological bonding between people and nations is lower than ever since the creation of nation states. If someone tells you they live at 20% the value they would want to live, just because they want to support their country, you would laugh about them.
And last but not least, more and more succeeding in the competition of production talent and creativity is more important than anything else. E.g. a soldier with low IQ and lots of muscles might have been great 500 years ago. But nowadays he simply gets shredded by a drone that was constructed by a nerd with technical talents and zero muscles.
Altogether it doesn't seem very logical to me that such a move can really improve China's situation, if it makes them lose talent quicker.
