If you're going to bust your rear end and blow your finances in a panic, go somewhere nice instead of Beijing of all places. Move the family to Hawaii or something, Working in Beijing as a foreigner for no-name startups is going to be miserable, it's only worth it if you're in a corporate multinational. You are going to be too stressed to deal with the culture shock, especially with a toddler and family issues.

The pollution is a real one. You can't avoid pollution because your child is going to have to leave the house and eat regular Chinese food. This isn't going to kill them, but it's just added health risk, aggravated by the fact that they're so young.

The CCP will not do anything about you because you're unimportant. The Chinese government is mostly reactive when it comes to official repression, you're not going to come into the crosshairs unless you're moving lots of money around. You might get screwed by the bureaucracy in a manner not unlike the USCIS though.
