In fact Shanghai (population 17,000,000) is in competition with Beijing ( 13,000,000) as to which can produce the most new US citizens. To keep these populations in perpective the State of North Carolina is only 10,000,000 and NYC is 7,000,000. Of course we do not count the illegal aliens in either city. You can be sure that there are no illegal aliens in Beijing or Shanghai. But less, Sharky&Sharky digress.
The birthing business is run by Ms Jia. To quote this entrepreneur
Jia's agency has helped more than 100 Chinese women from the Chinese mainland to give birth in the US since it was established in 2007 in California. She is in charge of the Beijing office of her company, which goes under the name the US Yuezi Center. Yuezi in the Chinese language refers to the first month after a woman gives birth when, in Chinese culture, she receives special care over her diet, sleep and health.
The company has eight babycare centers in US cities including New York and Los Angeles, where expectant mothers can kill time by shopping in malls nearby. The company provides the expectant mothers with shopping trips three times a week and arranges tourist outings if the clients ask for them.
The biggest babycare center at 400 square meters run by Jia's company is near Long Island in New York. The mothers are served with traditional Chinese dishes such as stir-fried liver, pearl barley soup and boiled fish - foods deemed to be especially good for pregnant women.
Back in China, the representatives are mainly responsible for attracting clients and signing contracts with them for their trip. The average fee for the whole service including accommodation and hospital charges in the US is between 100,000 yuan ($15,026) and 150,000 yuan ($22,539). Clients need to pay extra for flights and the cost of the visa. The trend of giving birth in the US began in Shanghai and has now spread to Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and other big cities.You might ask why do the Chinese ladies have to pay such hugh amounts when the Mexican ladies do not? Well silly, the Mexican ladies know how to work the US welfare system and the Chinese ladies do not. But do not worry the Chinese ladies will figure it out.
