China is one of the oldest eastern nations that managed to take its place as one of the top modern civilizations regarding its rich culture, industrial development, and booming economy. It offers tons of opportunities for people from all over the world interested in resettling, especially for business people, corporate officials, journalists, teachers, and students.
