I'm in a very similar situation. I've always felt pressure from my parents to try things out in China. Although they don't own a business there, my brother works in China and in general they just feel like there will be more opportunities there. Basically, they feel like Vancouver is not for young people - like you said, everything seems to be pretty standard (how much you earn, stricter limits, etc). Anyway, I feel the exact same way that you do. I'm torn but I do think it's a great opportunity to see what's out there especially for you, since your parents are already established there. On the other hand, I feel like it's too early to establish that we wont find better opportunities/ have a great life in Vancouver either. Have you lived in China for longer periods before? One reason that I wouldn't really wanna go back is because I don't know if I can see myself living there long-term..
All in all, it sounds like it would good for you to go. See if you like it and either way you'll learn a lot for sure. If you don't like it, what's the big deal? You're young- Move back. Your parents sound super awesome in a way that they won't force you to follow a certain career path. If you don't go, you might always wonder, right?
