A singer in China’s famous Beijing Opera, Danyang Yang flew to Vancouver in 2014 to have her baby in a Canadian hospital. She did so to deliver another child in 2017, like thousands of other so-called birth tourists who come to Canada each year.
Both times Yang immediately returned to China. A few years later, the singer and her husband, Tong Zhang, moved their family and much of their real-estate fortune to Canada, where they eventually became permanent residents.
