Hello, I am creating this thread as a source of enlightenment for as many as have plans to come to Beijing.

Having gained a lot from travel page, I wish to document my experience and findings here. Hopefully it will help others too to achieve their dreams. To these people, I pray the desire of their hearts be fulfilled speedily and to 'freelancers', happy following.
Please how much is the total package and do China allow students to stay and work after graduation?

Guys please help me decide

I have about 600k andy plan was to go work in Dubai

Can I and should I go to china instead

I have a friend there in China he's a Nigerian

But how is life in China and I go fit see work there

Dubai pros

1) It is more developed
2)You will earn more money
3)It is safer, cleaner and there is more to do
4)Everyone understands and speaks English
5) Everything is in English including movies and entertainment
6) It is much easier to make friends
7)Lots of Africans and black arabs


Dubai cons

1)It is very very hot (48+ degrees in summer)
2) The economy is bad right now, may be difficult to get jobs
3) You will face racism it doesn't matter what your religion is. If you're Muslim they will call you brother for 1 hour on Friday, then continue being racist
4) The law is unequal. Don't get into a fight with a gulf Arab because the law will support them even if you are right
5) No bankruptcy law if your business fails
6) Some Islamic laws so even though everyone is having sex they will arrest you If you kiss in public (even if married) and some hotels won't allow unmarried couples in the same room.

China pros
1) Better weather
2) No Islamic laws and you won't get arrested for kissing someone and hotels won't stop you sharing a room with someone
3) Less Racist than Arabs
4) More historic/cultural things to see
5) More powerful economy and innovation
6) Better legal protection

China cons
1) Really really polluted
2) you will make less money
3) Much Harder to start a job if you are not Chinese
4) More crime and not very clean
5) Many people don't speak English, most activities won't be in English and you will find it much harder to make friends
6) It's more difficult to meet people like you
7) China executes people for much lesser crimes than Dubai
cool Not as much to do

It's fine to prefer whichever you prefer but Dubai is more developed than China as a whole and even Beijing. I won't say all of UAE but Abu Dhabi and Dubai are very well developed and not even London or New York compare with them

I don't agree with some of the things you stated.
1) China is more developed than Dubai ( Shouldn't be argued)
2)If your work is legal, you'll earn more money in China. Take 600k to Dubai! The kind of suffering you'll encounter, you'll end up back in Nigeria.
3)China is safer and cleaner( We're talking about the big cities international students or foreigners would likely live in).

I wouldn't even advice anyone to move to Dubai except it's a short visit.

I've visited both and it wasn't just walking around. I don't know how you are comparing development but Dubai has better roads, better buildings, more modern technology, better services etc. If you compare military might or successful companies then sure, China is more developed. Else Dubai is a lot more developed.

3)China is safer and cleaner( We're talking about the big cities international students or foreigners would likely live in).

I wouldn't even advice anyone to move to Dubai except it's a short visit.

1) How is China more developed ? Dubai had better roads, better infrastructure, better services and more modern tech with tech booths and apps providing every service you can desire. China is more powerful and more innovative but in terms of actual development of the cities, Dubai is far ahead of Beijing. If you believe I am wrong please provide some proof of why you think so.

2) it's difficult for foreigners to open a business in China and if your work is legal unless it's just another export to Africa business, you will struggle to make enough money as you will start at the bottom. In Dubai, even though you will start at the bottom you can earn more.

3) Bro have you been to either ? I've been to both and Dubai is a lot safer and cleaner (and is ranked as such by every international observer) I'm not saying China has open garbage on the roads (Not in Beijing or Shanghai) but it is a lot more polluted, the side alleys have literal faeces in them and there is a lot more crime than in Dubai (crime is reported in Chinese papers, u won't hear about it in English ones but look up crime statistics)

What do you wish to achieve ? If it's making money you can go to Dubai (to earn more quickly) or to Malaysia or China. If you want to move permanently and enjoy a higher quality of life then I'd say USA or Canada. Italy's economy isn't really booming and they speak Italian so it'll be more difficult to make a living there. USA you'll make the most money if you work hard and you can settle there while Canada is safer. You can also become a citizen in Malaysia but it's harder and they're racist against non Muslims.

I have not experienced that. Though not saying it does not exist at all.
