But, the opposite would be living in a HOT climate like Arizona, Texas, cities near the California desert, and other cities that maybe hot, more than six month of the year. I would rather live in a city with cold temperatures, but not below 20 degrees, like where I live now, in the East Coast. In HOT weather, I lose my thinking process.

It's weird to see people think all Chinese cities are polluted.

China has hundreds of cities and some are as clean as Hawaii. Not every city is a copy of Beijing.
Even Beijing is far less polluted than many places such as Delhi and Tehran.

Western media only focuses on negative aspects of China but it's a very large country with different conditions.

The Middle East, most of North Africa and North Korea have to be the worst places on the planet to live. That being said I would not abandon my spouse to avoid living in one of those places.

China is a large and varied country, similar to the US in that respect. There are a lot worse places to live in the world than China. I definitely would not want to deal with the pollution they have in some places though, nor the overcrowding. No doubt though only parts of China are like that.

A good rule of thumb for me is to avoid living in basically any country not in the US visa waiver program, besides a few countries in Southeast Asia and Central/Eastern Europe and much (but not all) of South America. Would likely not live anywhere else.

Two thoughts on this.

1. You mean the life-or-death needs of the love of your life do not override your rules of thumb?

2. You let the US government decide for you which places are suitable for you to live, and which to avoid?

Of course you can live perfectly safe outside a gated community in Colombia and Guatemala, even Pakistan. What an ignorant statement.

The Isle of Man - the capital of the island is Douglas and I for one most certainly won't be entering Douglas.
