I had an ex-wife who helped move rich Chinese families to the US. She said their biggest concern was simply that you only get rich in China if you have a friend in the government and if you lose that friend or that friend loses power in the once every four years shake up, then your money gets taken away. Her clients bought million dollars homes, luxury cars with next years model, etc. all with cash. Typically they couldn't speak any English and moved to Chinese neighborhoods in Long Island and other places.
