I'm not here to argue, but define better?
Lots of people from China that I know hate it here... they like the clean air and easy lifestyle, but they miss the business opportunities and competition... it's hard to get motivated in Canada. A few days trip to Los Angeles and you will see what I mean, people are on a different system down there and it's either a breath of fresh air or repugnant depending on your personality.
The people that I know do not like ex-pats, but they also don't like working in an office 40+ hours a week to barely afford a mortgage... they cashed out, have a nice condo or home near a beach, open a small bar or tourism business and chill, travel, cook, enjoy life and explore their interests instead of doing what someone else told them to do every day. If something goes wrong medically, they can afford to go to the best hospitals. Maybe that doesn't work for everyone, but sure sounds enticing if you have the means and whereithall to make it work.
