Why do rich people in China want to emigrate?

America is an immigrant country, where people come to find their dreams. There are tens of millions of illegal immigrants in the United States, most of whom are from Mexico. Although the income of these illegal immigrants is extremely low, they still earn much more than in their own countries. Therefore, poor people immigrate in order to pursue a better life and change the fate of poverty. Many illegal immigrants enter the United States with this mentality.

However, the migration trend in China is somewhat opposite. The richer people in China are, the more they want to emigrate and spend money on green cards from all over the world. It can be said that the purpose of China rich immigrants is not necessarily to pursue a better life, but to ensure the continuation of their existing good life.

The Boston Consulting Group of the United States conducted a survey of the rich in China, and one of them asked what wealth means to the rich. 56% of the rich people surveyed think that wealth can make them live a free and safe life, and 48% think that wealth can make them live a high-quality life. 26% of the rich believe that wealth can benefit future generations, which leads to the rich second generation. 23% of the rich think that wealth can make them gain a high social status, which is the so-called sense of superiority. 15% of the rich think that wealth can give back to society and be a good person, just like Chen cursor. Generally speaking, the most basic understanding of wealth for the rich in China is that they can live a good life that most people can't, and the outstanding external performance of this life is luxury.

There is no denying that money can really enjoy all the splendor of China, and most rich people in China are tirelessly enjoying this luxurious life that China people never enjoyed or even dared to think about decades ago. Many rich people are thinking about another thing while living a good life, and that is immigration. At the end of 20 13, the survey released by Hurun Report showed that the proportion of rich people who had emigrated, were applying for emigration and were considering emigration in 20 13 increased by 6.7% compared with 20 12, reaching 64%, among which billionaires who had emigrated accounted for one third.

Since all the rich people in China live a rich and expensive life, why do so many rich people want to emigrate?

According to the report released by NBC News Limited, the research shows that the reasons for the rich people in China to emigrate can be summarized as three points: one is to let their children receive a better education, the other is to stay away from the environmental pollution in China, and the third is to avoid the overcrowded urbanized life in China. To tell the truth, all three points are reasonable, but they are not necessarily the most convincing reasons for the rich to immigrate.

According to the analysis of American media, one of the key reasons for China's rich immigrants is to "protect their own wealth". With the increasing anti-corruption efforts of the government, those rich people who use relationships and collusion between officials and businessmen to obtain high wealth naturally want to transfer their "shady" wealth to countries that the China government wants to investigate. Of course, the western media reported some acupoints of the rich in China, but this does not mean that the wealth accumulated by the rich who want to emigrate or have emigrated in China is "black money".

China's rich immigrants will not just leave, but will take a lot of wealth gained in China abroad.

A study by Fortune Insider, a London-based wealth consultancy, shows that China's rich now have about $658 billion of assets hidden overseas, equivalent to 4.796 billion yuan, equivalent to more than 30% of China's annual fiscal revenue. The data obtained by Boston Consulting Group is conservative, and the overseas assets of China's richest people are about $450 billion.

Relevant research also shows that the household net worth in China is more than US$ 6.5438+0.6 million, that is, half of the richest people with more than RMB 1 100 million have assets overseas. China's wealthy class went to sea (excluding those legal investors overseas), which undoubtedly caused the loss of China's wealth.
