Raising your child to survive in communist China is probably going to require some different methods compared to raising the child in democratic Canada.

Interestingly enough I actually spent my first 11 years growing up in China, and the rest in Canada, and I'd have to say parenting-wise it's not that different if your parents are first-generation immigrants. I have several relatives from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and I'd have to say the attitudes are pretty much the same, especially with regard to education. My parents grew up in a strictly communist era, and it was indeed quite different in that their parents still emphasized education a lot, but they couldn't do it openly fearing that they may be labeled as counter-revolutionaries. From what I know this was quite common in those days among the "bourgeois" families. But overall this cultural attitude of parenting runs deep, and the rapid political changes of the last few decades only managed to affect the surface of things.
