I've personally lived through moving between three countries, and yes it is actually hard. Even learning the language and culture takes a while, not to mention getting residence, a job, or making new friends in a country where you don't even speak the language. And the older you get the harder it gets.
Anybody who thinks that you can just pack up and move to China is frankly delusional. I've been learning Mandarin for the past 4 months, and so far I can barely string simple sentences together. So, yeah China is a really cool place to live, and I want to go there. It's not simple.
People who trivialize these things are either being utterly disingenuous or haven't really thought about this seriously.
