China's Wealth Drain
Jun 2, 2010
Early this April, the "2010 Hurun Wealth Report" estimated there are about 55,000 yuan billionaires in China, that is, someone with the equivalent of 120 million US dollars.
Although there aren't any official statistics on how many of these billionaires have migrated overseas, data from one Beijing Immigration agency shows that in 2009 China saw an emigration rush. The number of people who became investment migrants to the United States alone through an Employment Business 5 visa doubled from 500 in 2008 to 1000 in 2009.
