Well-to-do Chinese from the PRC are increasingly moving abroad to seek better environmental quality, safer food, and a more relaxed environment in which to raise children. Although the wealthiest of these lifestyle migrants, who move to North America, Australia, or New Zealand, have attracted the most attention, middle-class migrants have been taking advantage of lower-cost residence-for-investment schemes. This paper explores the motivations of some of the 20,000 Chinese who moved to Hungary between 2013 and 2017 and argues that the country's official xenophobia and law-and-order policies make it a more rather than less desirable destination for those Chinese pursuing a "European lifestyle."
