Then it gets real cold to go back to. People love freedom once they taste it.

I think you underestimate the powers of indictrination. I've spoken with enough chinese immigrant children to my country to see that they have love for China rooted into their brains. One girl I knew in first year uni was entirely white washed, I mean not a trace of an accent and she was real pretty and wore very hip clothing etc... Well me and a freind were sitting there talking about stuff, I guess it was ideologies and dictators and we mentioned Mau and she got all defensive about him. She said he did alot of great things for China. So me and my freind in a style that begs for the camera call-and-answered back and forth things baout Mau that were bad and how it diminished his country. Well rather than come back with a scathing criticism of our ideas she just put her hands on her ears, spoke desperately "I can't stand this", and ran away. I mean RAN.
This girl is barely connected to her former homeland and she's still totally full of crap. And I've seen others like her too. The truth to many people from China is whatever they were taught before they could walk.
