One thing I find really strange as an American, is that while our immigration system could be improved, in both China and India there is absolutely no way for a US Citizen to get permanent residency.
Not "it's really hard" or "takes a long time", but short of maybe being a billionaire or world famous athlete, a non-Chinese/Indian simply cannot permanently immigrate to these countries. It doesn't matter if you marry someone who is a Chinese/Indian citizen, doesn't matter if you have kids with them, etc there is zero possibly you will be able to immigrate to these countries.

And spouses can just register to get citizenship. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_nationality_law#Voluntary_acquisition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_nationality_law#Volunta...
