What would you do if you were me?

I ain't sure $300,000 is enough for you to immigrate with. There are countries that accept investment for immigration (USA, for example, has EB-1 program with the requirement that you employ 10 or more workers for 2 years). Even so, if I were you, I would start looking for ways to get out of China when I have the money to do so.

300000 US dollars is not enough to support immigration. The key is that I need funds to make money in transactions. I used the funds to immigrate, but I don't have any other skills. I make money

Take a vacation to Chernihiv (Ukraine) than Gaza strip, & Yemen. When or if you get back home all your troubles will feel like a summer breeze.

You get the point- focus on being grateful for what you have - this is rocket fuel. Getting out of your place to do something fun/adventurous will help.

I really think about going to the European Security Academy in Poland for training and then helping Ukraine, but unfortunately this year's registration is already full and I am too old

At least 1/3 of the Chinese in Seattle, WA can tell you how.

I am afraid that illegal stay will deprive me of the right to trade stocks

If you can't make money trading right now, consider the following: While you've still got some money in your bank account and some time on your hands, I highly recommend you focus on developing some new skills that may help you earn some money later on, either through a job or by starting your own business. You mentioned having good cognition, so consider learning a programming language that you can master and then you'll be in a position to charge money for your programming efforts at a later time if you need to. In fact, you might find that the programming skills you learn may increase your abilities as a trader and open up new opportunities for you in the markets.

That's just a suggestion to get you thinking, but what you really need to do is sit down by yourself for one hour, and just start writing down some new skills that you've always wanted to learn. Don't worry about how much time and work those skills may take to develop. For now just write down a list of 10 - 15 skills you'd like to develop in yourself. They don't all have to be work-related. Maybe you've always wanted to learn how to draw or paint. Maybe you'd love to learn how to play the guitar. Maybe you'd love to learn how to cook. What about learning how to work with wood? Or how about learning how to weld various types of metals? Your friends may be able to help you out with suggestions, so ask them, "What skill or career do you think I would be really good at?" You may be surprised at the suggestions you get.

The possibilities are endless, but now is the time to use some of your money to explore new desires. Once you have a list, split them into 3 groups. The first group represent the easiest skills, meaning that you could learn them relatively fast, say within the next year or two. The second group are the skills that may take 3 or 5 years to become really good in. And the final group are your long-term skills that may take a decade or longer to become an expert in.

Once you've got your 3 groups, pick one skill from each group that you're the most passionate about, and then move forward with learning those 3 skills.

But whatever you do, don't just sit around and waste your time and money over the next year or two while you're waiting on market conditions to become more favorable. The last thing you want to happen is for your money to run out and you have no marketable skills either. Invest in yourself today so you can be prepared for the future, and you'll never regret taking those actions. Good luck!

Thank you, but my environment is different from yours

Join local library {FREE} join some local groups or community, build your skills (community people will guide you or learn from them), borrow, books, CDs, magazines, etc from library and learn different skills, connect with locals and find local jobs.

Life is not so easy in US (specially now a days- when food price is increasing, hard to find jobs, Gas price, rent, etc all increasing at same time..). One great advantage you have- you don't have any dependent (eg child or old parent). You can easily switch positions, places and adjust your life style easily, according to your need. Beat of Luck!

Well, if you can make money from trading in China, I'm sure you can do the same elsewhere. But going back to your initial questions...

Dilemma: 1. The stock market is not good now and I can’t make money, but I can’t find a job without skills (it’s hard for people over 35 years old in my country to find a job). Now I can only use the existing funds to maintain my life.
2 I am worried that in the future, my country will be prohibited from trading U.S. stocks, and it will even be prohibited to remit U.S. dollars to me or to other countries.

Did you know there are other markets other than the US market? For example, Nikkei and Hang Seng are closer to where you live. Then there are the European markets. Why are you so fixated on "U.S. stocks"?

If you don't want to trade stocks, trade Bitcoin. It finally broke out of the range and made a NEW HIGH today!! (well, almost)

So you live in Seattle, eh? Now your cover is blown.

I lived there for 14 years. Now I live in Texas.
I witnessed an incredibly beautiful city turn hideous
because of laxity on crime and thousands of meth heads
taking over the city.

I enjoy trading because I use my expertise in "cognition" to turn stocks into money

At present, on the one hand, the market is not good and money cannot be made. On the other hand, it is highly likely that my location will be banned from trading US stocks and cross-border transfers in the future

Make some trouble. Speak out against your government. But not too much. Not enough to get arrested and tortured. Just enough to show up on their radar as a problem. Then seek political refugee status in the UK, or Canada, or Australia, or the USA.

Dude, you don't seem to understand how dictatorial systems work. They don't use scare tactics and quickly let you off the hook. Once he shows up on their radar, his days are numbered.
