We can respectfully agree to disagree. I've been going back and forth for the last serveral years. Almost all the young people I talk to would do anything to come to the US and stay. As much as things are improving economically in China, the goverment still interferes in their daily lives - e.g. restricted speech, shutting down access to innocuous Internet sites, etc.
