Im German and I plan on moving to China (Cuba on second place and Vietnam on third) once I went to University and got at least a Bachelor. My GF who isn't a commie suffers here too (she's trans) so she would come with me. However she is little bit scared of China due to propaganda but she doesn't hate China. She would prefer to go to the other two however. Time will tell how thing develope. Im learning Chinese already and I'm preparing as well as I can to leave.

In New Zealand right now (University), no way in hell I'm raising my children in the West. Looking at the Middle East or China to bring up my family (although China is very hard to get residency)
I'm not sure what normie libs would call me. I'm a South Asian-descended US-born person who moved to "canada" a few years ago, with no intention of going back...maybe if total decolonization happens in my lifetime. So am I an expat? Immigrant? Transplant? If I had to choose I would go with "exile". Fuck libs and their labels.
I am under the impression that use that has been given to the word "expat" is the one of describing the same phenomenon as immigration but without the negative connotation that the word may carry, so I am with you in that.
Originally expats were people who went to another country for their employer, and didn't plan on staying more than a few years. These jobs were usually transfers and the understanding was that the employee would go back or move somewhere else after a few years.
Nowadays it's definitely used by white people to avoid the "stigma" of being migrants. They might also think about going back to their home country in some undisclosed time in the future but, who doesn't really.
For real. People call me an expat while I moved to Belgium unemployed, with no connections other than my gf, no realistic prospects and because of insane housing prices back home. I am a 'fortune seeker' the media writes about often. But since I'm white, people throw in the expat comment from time to time. I'm not an expat, I didn't know what I was going to do when moving here. I'm an immigrant lol.
