Why did Gong Li change its nationality to Singaporean?

Gong Li became a Singaporean citizen in 2008. Gong Li said that the reason for changing nationality is to be with family. However, Gong Li has been developing in Chinese mainland. Even after becoming a citizen of Singapore, Gong Li seldom went to live in Singapore. She spent most of her time in China, so the reason she gave was only one aspect and not very important. Another main reason is that in order to avoid tax, Singaporean citizens can reduce their personal income tax in China.

It is natural to be naturalized because of family members. ? Then Gong Li said that she has always regarded Singapore as a holiday destination and her home is still in China.

Many famous entertainers in China entertainment circle have secretly joined other countries' nationality, not only because they want to emigrate or aspire to live abroad, but also because these artists still live in China all the year round. In the entertainment circle of China, famous artists made a film and television drama for one appearance, earning millions. With these easy-to-get high profits, those stars won't leave China. They joined other countries for another reason.

In China, the income from labor remuneration is extremely high at one time (much higher than the normal range), and personal income tax is subject to additional tax collection. In fact, the income from labor remuneration is subject to three progressive tax rates of 20%, 30% and 40%, and the appearance fee and film remuneration of famous artists in the entertainment circle are subject to the tax rate of 40%, which means that their personal income will be reduced by nearly half. Therefore, in order to avoid taxes, these famous artists have changed their nationality and invested in other countries in order to make more money.
