"The life here personally is really convenient, is really safe, is really economic and there is a lot of opportunities." This is how Abel Bordonado Lillo, a Spanish computer engineer and full-stack developer, describes his life in China. Currently settled in Suzhou, Abel believes the city is an excellent place to work, offering a thriving tech environment while being more comfortable and livable than Shanghai.
Abel says that moving to China is much easier than many foreigners imagine. With China's recent 30-day visa-free policy for multiple countries, people can visit first and then decide whether to stay long-term. He encourages foreigners to come and experience China's technological advancements and the convenience of everyday life firsthand.
