U think u cannot raise a family in Beijing？
While then go back to ur country.
I think she will follow u there.
Life is short, u really shouldn't stay in one place that u hate!

No place on the world is perfect, I think.

Do you really think the polution in China will influence your family so much? Can you find other place none of polution?

....... wow you are thinking of raising family in beijing... look if you keep tracking on the problems like pollution , clean water, good education , perfect new world ......... thats 100% impossible
but you can do something for perfection.. any place can be good having the basic faculities provided for childrens... the important think is what you think , how you and you wife wants to rise them... whatever place you choose..
normal pollution is all over our world........... best of luck

the fact is the life span of chinese people are getting longer and longer, in spit of the pollution. people pay more attention to their health and they live a positive and happy life, that is the point. t

If you live in a big city then I think China could be as good of place as any to raise a family. Since your kids would be 1/2 and 1/2 I think you should raise them (at least part of the time) in China so they can be in touch with part of who they are. If you just get on a plane and raise them in your home country they will miss a lot. Also consider the following advantages of raising in China.

1) They can easily learn Chinese (a language that will no doubt be useful later in their life)
2) Currently major cities are fairly safe places

Can you? Yes.
Should you? That's a better question.
