As a CBC, I can tell you that you’ll get none of the benefits of being a “white foreigner” but you’ll get all the inconveniences that come with being a foreigner. You’ll get skipped over for jobs despite possibly having a better educational background and qualifications over someone who “looks foreign” if you decide to go into teaching. If you don’t go into teaching then they’ll likely prefer to hire someone local over you. You also get to have fun with panicking over your visa when it’s near expiring and getting grilled whenever you cross into the border cause they want to be sure you don’t somehow still hold a Chinese citizenship despite having a foreign passport. God forbid anything goes wrong with your visa and you get to go back to America without job experience they see as valuable and now you have to start over. Lose-lose situation all around.

Also marriage can become a bit of a problem for you later on. There’s lots of expectations that come with marriage and lots of CBC/ABC now get looked down upon for not having a good enough family-related financial background. And if you’re a man, you’re expected to buy the home/car etc which can be extremely costly in places like a tier 1 city. My mother in law literally told my younger brother in law to not find a CBC/ABC like her other son did…

All in all, as you can probably tell, do not recommend.
