中国大陆，台湾，香港和新加坡，哪个更适合永久居住？

Been to all 4, born in Singapore and is staying in Mainland China Guangzhou currently.

四个地方都去过，我在新加坡出生，现在住在广州。

I have to clarify that these are personal views and is not an attempt to put down any place in particular.

先说清楚这只是我的个人观点，没有诋毁任意一方的意思。

I think Taiwan is a mess now, too much politics and power play going on that does not benefit the common people, businesses and professionals alike. Economy is rather stagnant. Reasonably friendly people, but comparatively now, standard of living is not as good as what I’m getting in Guangzhou. Unless there aresome major changes to policy, definitely not on my list.

我觉得台湾现在一团糟，太多的政治和权力交易在运作但对于普通民众，生意，专业人士（professionals）以及类似群体却不是什么好事。经济已经停滞。曾经相当友好的民众，现在也变得喜欢攀比，生活水准还没有我在广州好。除非政策有很赞的转变，不然我绝对不会选它。

Hongkong is a question mark to me. Economy is still reasonably strong, but I don’t see it going very far in the near future. Maybe not as a professional. People are not that friendly. It might be the fact that I’m just not used to the Hong Kong social culture, but I sometimes feel that they are too rude and aloof. I also don’t see so many smiling faces around….compared to 10 years ago. Spiritually they seem lost. Standard of living is also mixed. Expensive place to be in but you don’t really get the bang for your buck. Living space tends to be small and infrasturture is aged. I’ll put it as my 3rd choice if I have to rank it..



Mainland China is my home now. I still see a lot of growth and potential here. I’m getting older and needs to consider about retirement. It would not be difficult to retire here. I just need to move away from Guangzhou to a less expensive place if I find it too expensive. China is where I found choices. I have lived on RMB 20 a day here for 5 months before and I can choose to spend more when I want a better standard of living. Both are acceptable when you compare cost to standard of living. To me, these are choices I can make on my own free will. True freedom. In the other 3 places including Singapore, I can’t find such freedom, options are limited. I’m forced to spend even when I know I can do with less. And with such freedom around, real career and business opportunities become available to everyone. So China is currently my first choice. A place where I can choose to both retire when I want to and work hard for the best I want.

中国大陆是我的现在的家。在这里我仍然能看到大量的发展和潜力。我在变老，也是时候该考虑退休问题了。在这退休并不难。如果我觉得广州生活太贵，我只需要从这搬到一个不那么贵的地方。在中国我能找到许许多多的选择。我曾经五个月每天只花20块钱，如果我想要更好的生活质量，我可以选择花更多的钱。当你比较花费与生活质量时，这两者都能接受。对我而言，我能自由决定我的选择。真正的自由。在其他三个地方，包括新加坡，我没有这种自由，选项很少，就算我知道我能省，我还是被迫花钱。有了这种自由，真正的事业和生意对每个人都敞开了大门。所以中国现在是我的第一选择。这是一个我既能退休，又能努力工作努力争取的地方。
