My usual response is "I don't want to be a victim of it's foreign policy"

Mine is, "I'd love to, but I'm poor and can't afford a flight, and need a job offer from a Chinese firm."

“Thank you for offering to pay for flights, moving fees, and visa applications for me”

"Unfortunately you've wasted your money, I'm an unconnected nobody with no skills worthy of getting a visa."

Most people's skills would be useless unless they're in some bullshit managerial/executive position, defense contract, IT skills, medical or basically a slave contract to go to Dubai.

There aren't a lot of countries where your trade, shop or desk skills would be in high demands that wouldn't put you in slight risk of being the victim of America's foreign policy in bombs or it's global economic stranglehold.

Of course, you can always know someone.

Then your partner needs the above; unless you're moving there for her. There is still plenty of risk in that, especially in marriage.
