Whoa Dere!!
Each one of us have our own unique set of circumstances and preference and rather than considering what is the "concensus" you should concentrate on your own particular set and figure out what is best for YOU.
Things to consider - amongst many others:
1. Money - how much do you have and which place(s) will accomodate your planned lifestyle
2. Medical care - the standards of medical care in China is atrocious and very expensive (for the standard of living there) for anything resembling Western standards of care.
3. Friends and relatives - how much you value such social ties and where best to have such friend/relative network
4. Sex - is this going to be all THAT important as you creep up in age?
And the most important thing - how much do you really/actually know about the place you're planning to retire to? Yeah - holidays are GREAT but they only give you a sampling of the BEST of the places; day-to-day living in the place is a totally different kettle of fish. You may grow to hate some of the things you THOUGHT you like about the place - and this is something that I hear time and time again from non-native inhabitants of just about any place I've gone to
Just a little heads up
