The rise in the percentage of the Chinese rich deciding to emigrate for the host countries like the USA, Canada, and Australia has been repeatedly reported (has recently aroused the public concern/has been brought to public attention/ has been in the limelight). The majority of the people hold that such a trend should call for a quick measure from the central government. They argue that the present tide of emigration to the United States and many other developed countries will surely lead to the heavy cost of state property or financial assets if permitted to continue, or may even lead to the economic collapse of China.
Others claim that the reverse is true. In their view, the decisions by the multimillionaires should not be to blame. In China of the 21st century, they should enjoy the same freedom as the average people to make their own choice and have their personal resources at their own disposal.
There is probably some truth in both of the arguments, but I view this issue a bit differently. To me, it is the government that should take on the responsibility for the current problems that have long plagued the nation, such its rigid education system, worsening social environment, high living costs like housing and seeing the doctor and food safety. It is time that the government did some reflections on/ rethought /self-examined these problems.
One of the hottest topics many people are talking about now is the rigid or unfair education system, which, to the general public, is not conducive (favorable/encouraging) to the survival of creative talents, but kills the young students’ inclinations (potentials) to be creative/innovate. People like Qian
Xuesheng keep asking the same question of why Chinese education fails to produce its own great masters, and the similar question of why China doesn’t have its own Steve Jobs, the question triggered by the discussion of millions of Chinese on Apple and its innovation after Steve Job’s death.
Another dilemma is the housing problem, which exerts a substantial impact on the lives of most of the citizens. According to a survey released recently, nearly 60 percent of the millionaires surveyed are considering leaving China due to the housing problem or higher living cost, which has aroused the wide concern or even the complaint of the general pubic. It is true that the multimillionaires are capable of buying a house or even more than two in Beijing or in Shanghai, even if the housing price is the same as that in New York, but in China you enjoy no other benefits. To live abroad, the cost is not higher, but you definitely enjoy much more.
Certainly there are many other factors that contribute to the Chinese rich considering leaving China. Some people express their worry that the choice of the Chinese rich to emigrate may lead to the economic collapse of China and that the government should take rigid measures to stop this new tide of migration . However, this is not the best solution to this problem. The individuals’ wealth constitutes merely a small proportion of the national wealth and their emigration will not shake China’s economy.
The key point under discussion here is that the government should make a more giant step to reforms and opening-up. Awareness of why there are an increasing number of the Chinese rich choosing to apply for migration is probably
the first step toward the solution to the problem. It is suggested that considerable efforts should be made by the government to take more effective actions to tackle the problems that affect the people’s livelihood. The government should place special emphasis on the present situation of education system, it should improve the social and natural environments, it should narrow down the gap between the poor and the rich by lowering high living costs, and the housing cost in particular, and it should strengthen the rigorous supervision of food safety.

There has been much of the discussion on the web about the polarization of the poor and the rich. Some argue that the rich should be heavily taxed to narrow down the poor-rich gap, while others claim that the government should place more emphasis on the problems of people’s livelihood such as education and high living cost.
