but i don't know, while i don't like being brazilian (we're like the chuddest SA country after colombia), i do like being south/latin american, and i do feel a weird sense of duty towards my country/continent (not in a nationalist way, i mean towards us, the colonized peoples)
If you are looking at countries in Asia to immigrate to, Vietnam and Taiwan are both very good choices when it comes to opportunities for foreigners. They hit the sweet spot where they are stable enough to handle immigration and open enough you can start a life there without super advanced skills. Because you are Brazilian, Japan would probably be the most obvious choice since there is a very large Brazilian immigrant community making it the smoothest transition with the largest social safety net. I'm all for supporting China in abstract, but when looking for building a life for yourself, you have to consider things like getting permanent residency and what 10 to 20 years out looks like and until China fixes it's immigration, it's not a viable choice.
i know! and argentina is actually my first choice if i'm ever to leave here
but not BA, because if i'm already giving up on my duties as a leftist i'd probably move to patagonia, to live my dream of being in a cold, reasonably isolated place where i can finally have some peace
honestly, i'm considering that

and being an expat isn't easy imo
A huge problem with China in particular is their immigration policy is awful. They have only approved 20,000 permanent residents in the last 10 years.
jesus. didn't know that, i guess they hire a lot of foreigners but it's much harder to go from working visas to permanent residency
that sucks, but it's also understandable

There is a pretty sizable community of expat Brazilian lefties living in Buenos Aires, I met a buch of them when I visited BA two years ago.
