Everything happens now in the world happened before in Chinese history, and China has the habit to record history in detail. So China knows what consequences would be. For example, the immigration issue Kurt talked about happened very badly 2000 years ago in Han Dynasty. Han Dynasty defeated Hun nomadic tribes and agreed to adopted many Hun people who surrendered to Han Court into China. But those nomadic people had difficulty to integrate into agriculture society and always lived in their own close community and became the lowest class citizens inside the country. Eventually they held uprising around 420AD and China had turmoil for 170 years. During which period there were wars constantly and the population of China decreased from 50 million to 10 million.

I am Gweilo's age. Grew up in a dirt poor family. In my childhood, soup was mostly pepper and soy sauce in a bowl of hot water. My dad said "They are only 2 ways out of poverty. 1. Be a criminal. 2. Study hard." My family insisted of going route 2. This was the same with most impoverished chinese families in years gone by.
Be a criminal is a stupid option so you actually had just one choice. Being a criminal is only for the people in abject poverty with no education choices and job opportunities that can’t even pay for living expenses. Count you blessings that you were not in that predicament!
@@jamesmoy1214 You have no idea what abject poverty is really like. Eating 3 pieces of broken biscuits bought as factory rejects for breakfast. Walk barefoot 5 miles to school, with shoes in hand to save them from wearing out when you are 8 years old is not that much fun. So, being a criminal is an option. Just didn't take it.
China already has 56 different ethnic minorities and throughout it long history, already has experienced foreigners going in and out of the country. They have already seen what happens when you have an unbridled immigration policy with no controls and the examples of the chaos observed in other countries like the U.S. and the U.S. is enough for China to say, "no way. We have more than enough people for a start and with different diversities on our plate to worry about taking care of."
40+ years ago China was so poor & undeveloped even diplomats & expats then don't want to be posted there But for those who went & stayed in China despite the hardships & difficulties, they watched, experienced & built a miracle! I missed out, there were plans in early 2000s to work in China but it fell through due to me couldn't speak & write Mandarin, if not this life phase would be the most defining & adventure time of my life...
It is the same in England where immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and India all live in their own communities and won't live in a diverse community. Many of those communities are basically NO GO areas for White British.
"you will never become chinese" to be more accurate, less than a dozen people gain chinese citizenship naturalisation. not that you can never, but it is unrealistic to expect to be given one unless you are someone of notable achievement. this is mostly because china citizenship law has seen little change since deng xiaoping. China has made it easier to get residency, however citizenship is something that is still fairly untouch by congress. China citizenship policies was actually alot more relax in the past, it was change really to address the concern of newly independent states in Asia which fear their people would "switch side" to China since communism was very popular during the early years. so they ask China to restrict access to Chinese citizenship if China wants to do business with these newly formed countries. you have to understand from the context that most of our countries are not "natural" but product of colonialism, so nationalism was very weak in the first few years of independence. its abit like how Crimea is a crisis because Russia gave them Russian passport, so you can understand why Asian countries don't want Chinese passport to be easily accessible.
So true. China isn't an immigrant country. Even I'm ethnically Chinese in Indonesia, but people in China won't consider me Chinese national. It's only separated at birth from the mainland. As long as we live peacefully in harmony, that's fine. My mom was Chinese national, but due to the policy, then she got Indonesian citizenship when I was in high school. She met her cousins in An Hui last time and visited China several times before she passed away. While my dad's great grandparents came here earlier before independence. If I'm asked, do you love China, the answer is yes. And I'm proud of my ancestral country.
That's why the BRI is so important. Help developing nations to become modernized, people there will have less incentive to move out of their homelands. Unlike the West, who only knows to squeeze dry the resources on those lands, so the people have no choice but to leave.
Another reason I think why China is against immigration is religion. Once other cultures with their religious belief congregate together it becomes a very difficult issue to resolve.
Also language is another factor, who would want to study one of the most difficult languages in the world, Chinese. When you look at other immigrant countries; UK, US, Australia and Canada, their predominant language is English, it's easier for people around the world, such as people from India to work and live there.
@ 12:26 , “They ( China) got a hundred more ships than USA…” Gweilo60 is repeating Western propaganda fabricated by USA’s military industrial complex. The MIC’s accounting is self serving. China’s navy includes a fleet of merchant marines - a fleet of fuel tankers, supply ships, and repair ships. US Navy basically disbanded its merchant marines with few exceptions after WW2. The U.S. Navy relies on a fleet of privately own fuel tankers , supply ships, and maintenance ships. The number of ships in this privately own merchant marines is not counted as part of the U.S. Navy. The math is simple arithmetic ; but the facts are complicated by the MIC propaganda.
Gweilo you make an excellent presentation. And you accurately pin-point the cause of our modern problems, and where the troubles are coming from. . It's a sign of deep Canadian psychological sickness (and UK+USA+ Australia -NZ), that every other country world wide must imitate Canadian (and UK+USA+ Australia -NZ immigration policy,) and invite the world to live in their own country, like they live in Canada. How about it Canada? Invite another 1 billion Afros, 1 billion Asian Indians and 1 billion from the middle east and South America, all to live in Canada. It will be a big melting pot, and everybody will link hands and sing together the pop song 'We are the World.' The problem is no-one likes it. Even the new immigrants want to arrive in Canada and establish their own close nit, own culture, own ideology in their new politically correct Canadian.communities. Note : where I have written Canada, read + UK+USA+ Australia -NZ
Asian Americans in the U.S. are treated as perpetual foreigners. So what's the problem with China's immigration policy? I think China has one of the best immigration policy in the world. The Chinese are smart, they want highly skilled talents, not dependents that drains the resources without any contribution.
I will be interested in what you think about Canada's own immigration and how it affects the cost of living. From what I can see on various subreddits, they are accusing the corporations of using immigrants to lower wages, while immigrants are willing to live several to a room or house which forces up rents (several people on minimal wage can pay more than one person on average wage and even high wage), while they complain immigrants (mainly from India) of leering at women, while Canadians of Indian heritage who grew up in Canada now complain of white people scowling at them.
Canadian problem isn’t the population or the immigrations, if you look deeper it’s got to do with their banks printing paper money which in term causes the inflation.
You’ll want to profess to the Chinese immigration that you are BOTH 中华儿女 (sons and daughters of Chinese civilization) AND 爱国华侨 (patriotic overseas Chinese). I’m pretty sure they will readily grant you citizenship afterward. 😂. Kita semua perlu balik tongshan and leave those lowly Indons and Malays behind. I’m a 4th-gen 客家华侨, btw. 😄

The thing is that as a Chinese living in an Anglosphere enclave for over 30 years, it's the same! We can never become "such as such" because we are not whaight.
This immigration problem, or so you might call it a problem although I think it's not a problem, is mostly accepted and implemented in most Asian nations. It isn't just China. You don't get to be a Chinese or Malaysian or Indonesian etc. but you do get permanent residency for about the same reasons you are able to in China I'd say the immigration rules in Asia or south east Asia is about the same.
In many western counties, immigrants, most of them , never have the attitude of citizens. They are often looked down upon, never get the first chance... In a long run , it can be a serious problem.
Recently, it has become easier to obtain a Chinese green card. For example, Shenzhen has introduced a new immigration policy to attract foreign talents. - Foreigners with a doctorate degree or above and working in Shenzhen companies, holding a work-related residence permit, can apply for a permanent residence card for employed foreigners, and their spouses and children under the age of 18 can apply together. - Foreign professors teaching at Chinese universities (211 prestigious schools) - Wage and personal income tax compliance categories 1. Working in Guangdong for 4 consecutive years, with actual residence for no less than 6 months each year; 2. Annual salary income reaches 810,000 yuan (110,000 US dollars per year before tax), and personal income tax reaches 162,000 yuan (22,000 US dollars ). Note: The standards for another category of annual income of 400,000 yuan (55,000 US dollars per year before tax) and personal income tax of 70,000 yuan (9,700 US dollars tax) have not yet been announced
@ 5:57 , the multi-culturalism of Canada and USA is necessary for their “democracy.” The Men of Power, the Oligarchy pits the diverse ethnic groups against each other as part of the divide and conquer strategy while the Men of Power enjoy the status quo. The expedient Oligarchy exacerbates racism, sexism, and other “isms “ so as to create a constant distrust and distance among the ethnic and political groups. That’s the Achilles’ heel of democracy: every minority or political group pushes its agenda that often impedes progress that benefits all groups. Case study: China and India have nearly the same population; have numerous minority groups; have similar geographic size ; and they are neighbors. China’s economic achievement is several magnitude greater than India because India’s governance is a democracy styled under former colonial ruler Britain, whereas China’s governance is a home- grown ” socialism with Chinese characteristics” - a fancy term for governance under the Central Government of the Communist Party of China. Under the one party system , the CPC, there is less political back stabbing, no lobbying by special interest groups; conflict of interest is not tolerated; and hence, much less government corruption. India’s as well as USA’s governance is the opposite.

In fact, contrary to the traditional impression, China is very diverse. There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each ethnic group has its own language and dress. There are great differences between the north and the south, and between the east and the west of China. Living habits, language expressions and even looks are different. The government of China can make 1.4 billion people in China live well, with abundant food, universal education and convenient travel.

Yeah, you nail it. Immigration brings subcultures, traditions, and habits that may not assimilate well with the local communities and society's values (or political ideology/policies) that do not integrate and bring in values that contribute to the well-being of the society. Instead, they bring in their woes and problems like a parasite that leeches on the system built by the diligence of locals. As the population grows, there will be a clash of enclaves (tiny pockets of no-go zones), which may also lead to a new emerging Woke culture that may not reside well with local communities unless it is a brand new perspective that brings progress and growth.
Look into the history of immigration before you condemn! Almost all the migrants in the last 80 years have come from countries that have been decimated by Western powers who’ve stolen all their natural resources and driven out their leaders in the name of crimes against humanity! Do the crime pay the price is an appropriate restitution is how I see it. Unfortunately it’s affecting the poor citizens that didn’t have any say in how their government acted

China doesn't take a lot of immigrants, only 1,500 non-Chinese had been given Chinese citizenship. They just don't need that many people, because they have 1.4 billion people. The only people that are needed are people who come to do business in China, want to be a professor in China, teach English, or have some kind of special skill. You may get a permanent residence in China, but most will never get a citizenship there if aren't a Chinese person with Chinese ancestry. On the other hand, Western countries have a history of colonialism, so they accept immigrants in countries, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
The Colonial power’s immigration aren’t typically due to their need to do right for those that had subjugated and stolen from. It’s for the low wage workers that their own people refuse to work for in most instances.

Also people from different countries have very different background of culture, customs and way of live. It is complicated to deal with and may not worth doing it.
I'm not sure there's more highly skilled workers than there is in China. They also produce almost 40% of the world's STEM graduates, save to say they are pretty smart themselves. But with 1.4 billion people, I'm pretty sure they have an abundance of great people already.

Be a criminal is a stupid option so you actually had just one choice. Being a criminal is only for the people in abject poverty with no education choices and job opportunities that can’t even pay for living expenses. Count you blessings that you were not in that predicament!
@@jamesmoy1214 You have no idea what abject poverty is really like. Eating 3 pieces of broken biscuits bought as factory rejects for breakfast. Walk barefoot 5 miles to school, with shoes in hand to save them from wearing out when you are 8 years old is not that much fun. So, being a criminal is an option. Just didn't take it.

China did accept refugees. In WW2, a lot of Jews were accepted to Shanghai
We're talking about immigration and neturalization, not humanitarian policies such as temporary refugee taking.
@@zcsensor9675”we” were talking about immigration and naturalization ? I was talking specifically about his point about refugees
@@SoCal760 what you said is true, but irrelevant.
shanghai was a foreign concession back then, they don't have a say back then.
I agree and it’s working out for China 🇨🇳.
China already has 56 different ethnic minorities and throughout it long history, already has experienced foreigners going in and out of the country. They have already seen what happens when you have an unbridled immigration policy with no controls and the examples of the chaos observed in other countries like the U.S. and the U.S. is enough for China to say, "no way. We have more than enough people for a start and with different diversities on our plate to worry about taking care of."
_Your spirit, your soul, your attitude, your traits to me are already true blue Chinese buddy. You're a good man_
40+ years ago China was so poor & undeveloped even diplomats & expats then don't want to be posted there
But for those who went & stayed in China despite the hardships & difficulties, they watched, experienced & built a miracle!
I missed out, there were plans in early 2000s to work in China but it fell through due to me couldn't speak & write Mandarin, if not this life phase would be the most defining & adventure time of my life...
China in fact is a truly multicultural country with over 50 ethnic groups and all integrated into a relatively peaceful society.😊
56 ethnic groups all in all
57ethnic groups ,largest being Han, mulicultural being the different regions of a very large country but still all Chinese not immigrants!
Correction 56 ethnic groups, senior moment!
Love your attitude! Enjoy life in China!
It is the same in England where immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and India all live in their own communities and won't live in a diverse community. Many of those communities are basically NO GO areas for White British.
"you will never become chinese" to be more accurate, less than a dozen people gain chinese citizenship naturalisation. not that you can never, but it is unrealistic to expect to be given one unless you are someone of notable achievement. this is mostly because china citizenship law has seen little change since deng xiaoping. China has made it easier to get residency, however citizenship is something that is still fairly untouch by congress.
China citizenship policies was actually alot more relax in the past, it was change really to address the concern of newly independent states in Asia which fear their people would "switch side" to China since communism was very popular during the early years. so they ask China to restrict access to Chinese citizenship if China wants to do business with these newly formed countries. you have to understand from the context that most of our countries are not "natural" but product of colonialism, so nationalism was very weak in the first few years of independence. its abit like how Crimea is a crisis because Russia gave them Russian passport, so you can understand why Asian countries don't want Chinese passport to be easily accessible.
Lots of Westerners would love to be in your shoes.
I love to be in my shoes. Just living the dream.
@@Gweilo60 It is good to see upright Westerners living their dream.
As long as you have enough money to live there becoming citizen is not important imo 😊
So true. China isn't an immigrant country. Even I'm ethnically Chinese in Indonesia, but people in China won't consider me Chinese national. It's only separated at birth from the mainland. As long as we live peacefully in harmony, that's fine. My mom was Chinese national, but due to the policy, then she got Indonesian citizenship when I was in high school. She met her cousins in An Hui last time and visited China several times before she passed away. While my dad's great grandparents came here earlier before independence. If I'm asked, do you love China, the answer is yes. And I'm proud of my ancestral country.
absolute 100% correct in this video
That's why the BRI is so important. Help developing nations to become modernized, people there will have less incentive to move out of their homelands. Unlike the West, who only knows to squeeze dry the resources on those lands, so the people have no choice but to leave.
Canada is seriously screwed!!!
Another reason I think why China is against immigration is religion. Once other cultures with their religious belief congregate together it becomes a very difficult issue to resolve.
Also language is another factor, who would want to study one of the most difficult languages in the world, Chinese. When you look at other immigrant countries; UK, US, Australia and Canada, their predominant language is English, it's easier for people around the world, such as people from India to work and live there.
Very true.Nobody will migrate if your own country is good.
This vlog is politically correct - no foreign enclaves.
@ 12:26 , “They ( China) got a hundred more ships than USA…”
Gweilo60 is repeating Western propaganda fabricated by USA’s military industrial complex. The MIC’s accounting is self serving.
China’s navy includes a fleet of merchant marines - a fleet of fuel tankers, supply ships, and repair ships.
US Navy basically disbanded its merchant marines with few exceptions after WW2. The U.S. Navy relies on a fleet of privately own fuel tankers , supply ships, and maintenance ships. The number of ships in this privately own merchant marines is not counted as part of the U.S. Navy.
The math is simple arithmetic ; but the facts are complicated by the MIC propaganda.
Another great video Gweilo 60. Cheers on that beer
Gweilo you make an excellent presentation. And you accurately pin-point the cause of our modern problems, and where the troubles are coming from. .
It's a sign of deep Canadian psychological sickness (and UK+USA+ Australia -NZ), that every other country world wide must imitate Canadian (and UK+USA+ Australia -NZ immigration policy,) and invite the world to live in their own country, like they live in Canada. How about it Canada? Invite another 1 billion Afros, 1 billion Asian Indians and 1 billion from the middle east and South America, all to live in Canada. It will be a big melting pot, and everybody will link hands and sing together the pop song 'We are the World.'
The problem is no-one likes it. Even the new immigrants want to arrive in Canada and establish their own close nit, own culture, own ideology in their new politically correct Canadian.communities. Note : where I have written Canada, read + UK+USA+ Australia -NZ
Thank you Gwellio 👏 A very impactful, helpful video presentation 🤟💯🙏✌️
Asian Americans in the U.S. are treated as perpetual foreigners. So what's the problem with China's immigration policy? I think China has one of the best immigration policy in the world. The Chinese are smart, they want highly skilled talents, not dependents that drains the resources without any contribution.
I will be interested in what you think about Canada's own immigration and how it affects the cost of living. From what I can see on various subreddits, they are accusing the corporations of using immigrants to lower wages, while immigrants are willing to live several to a room or house which forces up rents (several people on minimal wage can pay more than one person on average wage and even high wage), while they complain immigrants (mainly from India) of leering at women, while Canadians of Indian heritage who grew up in Canada now complain of white people scowling at them.
Canadian problem isn’t the population or the immigrations, if you look deeper it’s got to do with their banks printing paper money which in term causes the inflation.
But it’s always easy to blame the immigrants as they hold the least power in the country.

As a PR, one can enjoy the best of both worlds Kirk!! Chin up, enjoy China!! 👍👍👏👏
Yes, you can't be Chinese the same way you can't be African.
My family is 5 generations, Chinese immigrants to SEA. Personally, I speak English, Malay and no Mandarin.
Kirk, you're probably more Chinese than me.
Then you’re not Chinese immigrants, you’re Malaysian immigrants. Your face may look Han but Koreans and Japanese also are of Han descendants.
You’ll want to profess to the Chinese immigration that you are BOTH 中华儿女 (sons and daughters of Chinese civilization) AND 爱国华侨 (patriotic overseas Chinese).
I’m pretty sure they will readily grant you citizenship afterward. 😂.

As usual, as an English man who has witnessed riots in the past few weeks due to immigration, he speaks perfect sense.
11:07 Inexpensive? Maybe in a 3rd tier city like Nanning. It would be a lot more expensive in cities like Shanghai and Beijing.
Nanning is now tier 2.
shanghai and beijing are 2 cities out of how many?
@@fatdoi003 There are four Tier 1 cities in China and about 15 New Tier 1 cities.
Nanning:
Rent: 400 USD per month for a 3-bedroom apartment in the center of Nanning,
Rent: 250 USD per month, 20 minutes from the center of the city.
The prices of consumer goods are basically the same as in Shanghai, and vegetables and fruits are 30% cheaper than in Shanghai, because Guangxi has a large amount of vegetables and tropical fruits.
Kirk did not show you Nanning infrastuctures and city planning, Nanning new city center is as modern as Shenzhen city.
Well well, my Dad’s cousin was also the resident of Nanning city before choosing to move to Sydney, Australia back in 2002-2003.
They must not even have seen it coming that their native Nanning would grow that explosively unlike 2020s Sydney.😂
The thing is that as a Chinese living in an Anglosphere enclave for over 30 years, it's the same! We can never become "such as such" because we are not whaight.
This immigration problem, or so you might call it a problem although I think it's not a problem, is mostly accepted and implemented in most Asian nations. It isn't just China. You don't get to be a Chinese or Malaysian or Indonesian etc. but you do get permanent residency for about the same reasons you are able to in China
I'd say the immigration rules in Asia or south east Asia is about the same.
In many western counties, immigrants, most of them , never have the attitude of citizens. They are often looked down upon, never get the first chance... In a long run , it can be a serious problem.
Recently, it has become easier to obtain a Chinese green card. For example, Shenzhen has introduced a new immigration policy to attract foreign talents.
- Foreigners with a doctorate degree or above and working in Shenzhen companies, holding a work-related residence permit, can apply for a permanent residence card for employed foreigners, and their spouses and children under the age of 18 can apply together.
- Foreign professors teaching at Chinese universities (211 prestigious schools)
- Wage and personal income tax compliance categories
1. Working in Guangdong for 4 consecutive years, with actual residence for no less than 6 months each year;
2. Annual salary income reaches 810,000 yuan (110,000 US dollars per year before tax), and personal income tax reaches 162,000 yuan (22,000 US dollars ).
Note: The standards for another category of annual income of 400,000 yuan (55,000 US dollars per year before tax) and personal income tax of 70,000 yuan (9,700 US dollars tax) have not yet been announced
@ 5:57 , the multi-culturalism of Canada and USA is necessary for their “democracy.” The Men of Power, the Oligarchy pits the diverse ethnic groups against each other as part of the divide and conquer strategy while the Men of Power enjoy the status quo. The expedient Oligarchy exacerbates racism, sexism, and other “isms “ so as to create a constant distrust and distance among the ethnic and political groups. That’s the Achilles’ heel of democracy: every minority or political group pushes its agenda that often impedes progress that benefits all groups. Case study: China and India have nearly the same population; have numerous minority groups; have similar geographic size ; and they are neighbors. China’s economic achievement is several magnitude greater than India because India’s governance is a democracy styled under former colonial ruler Britain, whereas China’s governance is a home- grown ” socialism with Chinese characteristics” - a fancy term for governance under the Central Government of the Communist Party of China. Under the one party system , the CPC, there is less political back stabbing, no lobbying by special interest groups; conflict of interest is not tolerated; and hence, much less government corruption. India’s as well as USA’s governance is the opposite.
Chinese from rural areas have played an important role in building moden China. They are extremely hard working and have innate intelligence. They are also easy to be pleased and they can be content in whatever environment.
It because China still developing country, and still in progress to become developed country. Progress for preparing better system need more time. I hope ur daughter can soon meet and marry responsible and nice Chinese man.
@User, developing country, Get out of your mothers basement and go see the world
FYI: Poland did a political 180 recently.
Glad you enjoyed life in china and also china’s real estate going down for years which make it more affordable, so it will eventually a great place for people to live.
I myself is the result of the "one child" policy, willingly or not, the fact is we Chinese scrifised a lot for a greater goods of people in the country, and in the world. Think like this, one new immigrant is one took place vacancy by the Chinese child who would have come to this world 30 years ago.
In fact, contrary to the traditional impression, China is very diverse. There are 56 ethnic groups in China, and each ethnic group has its own language and dress. There are great differences between the north and the south, and between the east and the west of China. Living habits, language expressions and even looks are different. The government of China can make 1.4 billion people in China live well, with abundant food, universal education and convenient travel.
There are a lot of Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims in China, which is also contrary to the traditional impression of Westerners.
Canada is second largest country in the world ( Rusia is 1st btw) so we got plenty of room for refugees,real reason is to have low wages workers 😂
It's to help investors pay off their mortgages, for international student fees, etc.💡
@wandereroo70. Where does 80 percent of the people live in Canada, Tell me how many factories are there 50 miles from the 49 parallel?
the real reason is canda don't have enough people. if canada has 1.4 billion people ,it's wages will go down.
but the problem is Canada does not have their systems (like medical) and infrastructures to catch up with the numbers of immigrants moving in...
@@machodude5396 After having population of engineers + technical workers, the infrastructures can be built as well as to have more industry parks. The computer game " city 2000" tells how to develop.
Kirk.. have you ever thought of going to India for a quick visit.. would be so interesting to hear your views of that country in comparison
No I think I will pass on.the India thing.
India is a dump.
with such strict immigration policy,because china is still developing country,has no urgent need for foreign population.but things change, china needs reconsider the policy for those who like china,those who study in china and want to stay,those regular person rather than advanced rencai.
It's technically the most difficult to become Chinese. Even children born abroad by Chinese citizens with pr won't get Chinese citizenship
Thanks for sharing. Cheers
I agree with you. The Chinese Government should relax its immigration policy, in order to attract more people to come to China.
Always enjoy watching your videos
Thanks
Glad to hear it
Great video with insights 👍
As always roaming the street of nanning with natural surrounding it's lovely to watch,Jayoe
There are not enough jobs to attract immigration! That is the main reason, not a political one, that see few immigrants. China is seeing people leaving the country, instead.

Yeah, you nail it. Immigration brings subcultures, traditions, and habits that may not assimilate well with the local communities and society's values (or political ideology/policies) that do not integrate and bring in values that contribute to the well-being of the society. Instead, they bring in their woes and problems like a parasite that leeches on the system built by the diligence of locals. As the population grows, there will be a clash of enclaves (tiny pockets of no-go zones), which may also lead to a new emerging Woke culture that may not reside well with local communities unless it is a brand new perspective that brings progress and growth.
Look into the history of immigration before you condemn! Almost all the migrants in the last 80 years have come from countries that have been decimated by Western powers who’ve stolen all their natural resources and driven out their leaders in the name of crimes against humanity! Do the crime pay the price is an appropriate restitution is how I see it. Unfortunately it’s affecting the poor citizens that didn’t have any say in how their government acted
Where can I find budget accommodation for 1 month in Naning ?
people can use wechat to book hotel, 3 star hotel in city center with breakfast costs $25 per night, without breakfast, a bit cheaper, around $ 20 per night.
The commercial before this video was Nancy asking for money
China doesn't take a lot of immigrants, only 1,500 non-Chinese had been given Chinese citizenship. They just don't need that many people, because they have 1.4 billion people. The only people that are needed are people who come to do business in China, want to be a professor in China, teach English, or have some kind of special skill. You may get a permanent residence in China, but most will never get a citizenship there if aren't a Chinese person with Chinese ancestry.
On the other hand, Western countries have a history of colonialism, so they accept immigrants in countries, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
The Colonial power’s immigration aren’t typically due to their need to do right for those that had subjugated and stolen from. It’s for the low wage workers that their own people refuse to work for in most instances.
@@jamesmoy1214 That is why they imported slaves to colonies, it was because they needed labor to develop all the land they illegally annexed.

@Gweilo60 u might have missed a trick with not having kids with Weifang 20 years ago. That could have definitely put you in better stead living in China and not suffering the lonliness as a foreigner. But then again, no one expected Weifang would pass so young. 😢
Thanks for another great video. I received my Chinese permanent resident card 3 years ago which does make life a little easier living here but you are correct, I will never be a Chinese citizen.

Exactly, when u have 1.4 billion population , u dont want any more. But, they still give out yearly residency ( need to apply) permits if U are married to a local..
any kids born will automatically be chinese citizens.
China has so big population to manage and take care especially to keep the country politically stable which we all know very difficult, they have more tgan enough on their plate. Also people from different countries have very different background of culture, customs and way of live. It is complicated to deal with and may not worth doing it.

Importing highly skilled and good IQ immigrants may be good.
I'm not sure there's more highly skilled workers than there is in China. They also produce almost 40% of the world's STEM graduates, save to say they are pretty smart themselves. But with 1.4 billion people, I'm pretty sure they have an abundance of great people already.
