The prospect does not sound promising. Greed of your evil uncle, it sounds like, is what is going to eat you alive.

If you aren't 100% determined to go over there with at least a solid plan with a few contingencies, it's going to be a rough, rough road. I would be very cautious especially since your uncle sounds like he's got a bad case of greed. From your brief synopsis of the situation, I would not count on the factory going into your hands. If your uncle has 5 wives as you say, I guarantee you won't be the first in line to milk this business for whatever it's worth, and by that time, you may end up with nothing or even out of employment.

I guess since you're still young enough to recover if any shit hits the fan, but do not go unless you are determined to get up after you get your ass kicked at least until you get a hang of the language. You will be a complete foreigner and they will treat you as such.

My brother is currently over there in Shanghai and got his ass kicked initially but had a MASc. and a few connections to get him going. He had a plan but even then it was still a rough couple of years.
