I'd always and continue to maintain the view of only buying properties in first tier cities in China and even other countries. There is no point in purchasing in other states unless the plan is to retire there. Even retiring home can be rental instead of ownership.

But you won't want to retire in first tier cities in China. They have good infra but also all the problems of big cities - overcrowded, expensive etc. 

Retire in third tier cities instead.
