Go East, Young Man!—Ft. Carl Zha and Xiangyu ('Escape From Plan A Ep. 222')

Carl Zha and Xiangyu join Teen to talk about their decision to pack their bags and leave America for Asia. Carl was supposed to go to China to see the water festival in Yunnan in 2019, but just never came back. He currently lives in Bali. Xiangyu packed his bags a few years ago to get closer to his roots in Taiwan. He's back—temporarily—but has his mind set on going to mainland China. Is this a good time for Asian Americans to think about leaving America for a brighter future in Asia?
