1. Go to Mexico.
   
2. Learn a little Spanish.
   
3. Walk over the porus border to the north.
   
4. Find the nearest Mexian Consulate.
   
5. Tell them your name is Ramon Gomez or whatever. It doesn't matter if your Spanish is not fluent or you don't even look Hispanic. A little bribe goes a long way.
   
6. You are now a Mexican immigrant with special rights in the United States to jobs (Mandarin ability is a plus),welfare and de facto citizenship.
   
7. Oh, and don't forget to register to vote. No ID is required.

The kids who stayed at home and helped others build businesses in the crazy business world of contemporary China received an invaluable education. It's when businesses start honoring people with MAs over people with hands-on experience that the business world goes down the tubes.

They also have a Western outspokenness that is not particularly marketable back home.

This is probably the crux of the matter.

Neither "That pol is a corrupt hack." nor "7X participating liquidation preferce? You're an idiot to sign a term sheet like that!" play very well in the Middle Kingdom.
