Although China’s economy growth has slowed down over the past year, the number of high-net-worth people in China continued to grow at a double-digit rate, reaching 1.34 million by 2016, an increase of 10.7% over the previous year.

The destination preferred by China's high-net-worth immigrants is the United States. For Chinese high-net-worth individuals, the main reason for immigration is education quality and environmental pollution. Over the past decade, the number of people studying abroad in China has quadrupled and the scale of people studying abroad has grown.

Considering population mobility and general birth rate, the number of cities with a population of over 1 million have kept increasing.
