I definitely want to bail to China myself, and already started low key learning Mandarin for when the time comes. The main reason I stay here is honestly to take care of my parents who are old and have no interest of moving anywhere. Otherwise, I probably would've moved already.

Same, i am bound by blood to my country but there is not much else keeping me here. Regardless, its a good idea to learn mandarin since that opens up the possibility of engaging with a shit ton more of people.

That's what I figure, it's clearly a very useful language to know regardless where I'm living.
