> it's only natural that Chinese expats will find that they can seek "riches" in what they feel is their natural and original homeland.

I can see your argument about returning to an "original homeland" (i.e. for reasons of cultural or social affinity), but "natural homeland"? There's nothing about the nature (air, land, climate, flora, fauna, etc) of China that is uniquely suited to a Chinese person any more than anyone else.

That's not what I mean by a natural homeland. I say "original" because it's where they're born and "natural" because it's the nation with the culture they're most familiar and presumably comfortable with.

In that case, the correct term is "cultural homeland", not "natural homeland".

Except they grew up their and the flora, fauna, etc... feels more like home.

People who move from California to Seattle complain constantly about how horrible the weather is, for example.

That's called "nurture", not "nature".
