Super-rich look abroad in record numbers

The passion shown by China's super-rich for settling down abroad and obtaining overseas passports has reached a record high, a report says.

The proportion of Chinese high net worth individuals with personal wealth of at least 6 million yuan ($960,000) who expressed willingness to emigrate has risen to 64 percent from 60 percent a year ago, it said.

The Immigration and Chinese High Net Worth Individuals 2014 white paper was co-released by the Hurun Report and immigration agency Visas Consulting Group.
