And why not?

No, seriously. The economy here in the States is not going to improve any time soon, and graduating with a degree in Useless right now probably means that you're not getting a job for a while. Might as well go somewhere where you can A) get a job just for being white and speaking English and B) pick up a second language which is spoken by a fifth of the world's population, as well as other marketable skills.

Why not work in China? Well, there's the very real risk of being imprisoned on grounds of being somewhat inconvenient, for one thing.

I would move to Hong Kong in a heartbeat if it weren't for the language barrier.

They are the most libertine nation in the world by many standards.
