CNN has posted a very good story by Katherine Dorsett about the emerging trend of Americans moving to China for work. Aside from being cited (thanks!), I provided some background info for the story. One piece of data I had a hard time locating is the actual number of foreigners, including Americans, who have work visas in China. I looked through some Chinese statistical yearbooks and the website of the Ministry of Public Security, but didn't find anything. I'm sure I just didn't look hard enough. If anyone comes across these figures, I'd welcome you passing them along.
One small data point I did find, but not directly relevant to this story, concerns the rapid rise in tourist visitors.
That is a 12.5 fold increase in the number of foreigners overall and 7.4 fold jump in number of American visitors.
