Q: Raising your children in China
There's some obvious cons. Pollution, regulation of food and drugs immediatley come to mind.
However, I think people ignore the advantages of raising a kid in China. Nannys and au pairs are much cheaper, an international education is huge asset later on in life, healthcare is also cheap.
Food for thought
"Food for thought"
Junk food, perhaps.
Ayi (like all Chinese people) treat children like they are retarded, yell at them seemingly at random, and grab them and shake them to stop them from having fun. If "cheap" is your primary concern, go for it.
A Chinese education is valued in no countries, including China.
China's "healthcare system" is a nightmare. 20,000rmb per month for a dirty bed is probably cheaper than treatment in a private American hospital, but the essential difference is treatment.

All Chinese people treat their children like retards, shout at them and shake them? Good lord, that is a shocking revelation, I must keep a more watchful eye on my wife around our young ones from now on.

Keeping my kids here till secondary school, I wouldn't put them through the slavery and tedium these kids have to suffer here.
I've never had much of any problem raising kids here. If a parent isn't lazy your kids will be fine.
What Samsara said.
There is rigorously no aspect of raising a child that is cheaper or less time consuming in China. The opposite is true.
That is, of course, for people who have any kind of love and living standard expectations.
Now of course if you don't give a shit, then sure getting a ragdoll keeper is kind of cheap-ish (less than you think actually).
