I had the same situation as you 3 years ago. I had a choice to stay here or move back to philippines and manage my father's business. I chose to go back and manage the family business. It was the worst decision i ever made!
Mr Happysilp is right on the dot by saying China (or any third world country) will eat you alive when it comes to business related field. You gotta know people, learn some corruption, know how far to take your "power", rub shoulders with the right people and not step the wrong people's foot. You have to be very aggressive and sharp because its very cutthroat. The way China runs their daily life is way too different here in Canada and you will not survive long if you try to apply canadian standards there.
Ive been there and done that and i ended up coming back here to Vancouver. The only positive thing that came out of my experience is I appreciated Vancouver a lot more than i used to. Heck, even the idiot drivers in richmond dont get under my skin anymore after what ive experienced driving in the philippines.
