I’ll add to this. If you’re ethnically Chinese, can speak Mandarin, and have a desire to move to an executive position, then highly consider it.

There won’t be a bamboo ceiling and your assertiveness won’t be seen negatively as aggression [1]

How well does this apply to people who grew up in China (adept to culture) vs. not (and only might know Mandarin from talking with relatives)?

Not knowing the culture will definitely hinder you compared to someone that does, but you might be able to carve out a niche as a “Western/English” facing executive. Basically you will be the executive that interfaces with foreigners.
