When people ask me what would be the best country for young Americans to live abroad in for 2 years, my answer is, unironically, China.

Some reasons for this:
1. It would help Americans understand China better, and vice versa, thus promoting understanding between the two countries
2. It would teach Americans the difference between $20,000 per capita GDP and $60,000 per capita GDP

Also, it would inspire young Americans to think about growth, and about manufacturing.
The biggest downside would be the air pollution. But China has made substantial progress on cleaning it up, and will probably continue to make progress.

But of course since having hundreds of thousands of young Americans go live in China would expose Chinese people to American ideas, China's current government would never allow something like this.
