Peter99 you make some good points about Cambodia but you failed to give an example of where you think may be a good place.
All countries have bad people. For example, I have been to Kundu many times during the day but never been there at night when the problems occur. Same with Dali, many people go there for drugs but since I do not look for that, I dont have to interact with the bad characters.
I have a friend who has been living in Cambodia (not travelling) for several years and he does not have any negative reports. Again, because he does not live that type of lifestyle.
Escape plan for a single person is diff than an escape plan for a couple. For those who are willing to return to their native soil a visa is not necessary. Anyone living in China needs some type of visa. Same for most other countries.
I've always stated " ride the economic wave, peel off before it crashes on the beach"
It may not be a beach but a vertical cliff.
No it wouldnt make sense Mr. Campo, for Peter99 to say where is a good place - we're all in such different situations. When it comes to Asia, Cambodia would be among the last on the list of Peter99. But, yea, ahead of Bangladesh. Today Peter99 got mail he owns a house in Spain, hopefully having said this will not bring any snipers there. Having been almost 20 years in Asia, it may just be about time to taste some real olive oil for a change, adios.
EXIT STRATEGIES
If you have the money...well, if you had the money, you probably wouldn't be living in Yunnan, but I digress..
If you have the money, there are tax havens such as St Kitts, etc where the purchase of a house also counts towards the purchase of that country's sovereign passport.
Probably not realistic for many...
Good News.
Zimbabwe and South Africa have a similar policy. An investment, which can be in business, for government or in property, will count towards residency in the country - Which could lead to a passport.
If that's what people are looking for - Come to Zimbabwe.

I like the last sentence:
"Residents are also urged to report illegal foreigners to police."
How would they know if a foreigner is here legally or illegally?
if their eyes are too close together, if they have a local girl or two come back to the pad, if their skin is dark, if you dont like them make em sweat at the psb. feed the zenophobia
@ Dazzer: I don't think neighbor residents do this much in Kunming - at least I haven't heard of it. Could happen if you've got an annoying foreign neighbor, I suppose.
