So given most people seem not interested in integrating at all, my honest question is why do it?
IF you could put away $20k per month for 10 years and earn 8% p.a. on your investments you'd have $3.6m at the end of 10 years. If you can't retire on that you'll literally never retire.
Having said that, sticking it out in china for 10 years would be an extraordinary feat.
