10 Places to Avoid When You Retire

7. China

Don’t let China’s economic boom fool you. The country still has a way to go before they are suitable for retirement. Privacy continues to be a concern as China is moving to implement a social monitoring and credit rating system. This constant surveillance can undermine the sense of freedom that you would like to have. On top of that, health care remains an issue with substandard equipment, non-English speaking healthcare professionals, and long-drawn-out lines. Civil disobedience is generally cracked down upon. If political freedom and the right to privacy is what you prioritize, China is a no-go.
