I get to travel to Asia a lot in my job. As our designs are built in China/taiwan/Japan.

I enjoy travelling there, I visited China 4 times, stayed for 3 weeks each time in 2019. And I sometimes stay 1 additional weeks on my own to explore China a bit. I have traveled pretty extensively through China and partly because it feels so familiar. Taiwan is awesome too, I have been there quite a bit.

If you get a job in one of the major American tech companies that make consumer electronics products, almost all of it is made in China. International travel to Asia is a common thing. You get business class flights, super good hotels to stay in and so on. Sweet deal overall.

Apple until recently (before 3rd wave) had a deal where people who volunteer to visit China to support Chinese teams, would get paid $500 per day additional over their pay. And you were required to stay minimum 6 weeks (2 weeks in quarantine, 4 weeks work)

That would be $20k additional money for a 6 week assignment in China, fly business class, live in 5 star hotels. Not a bad deal considering covid is most under control in China.
