I’ve lived in China.
China has one of the most hostile immigration policies in the world, as do most Asian countries.
Nobody can immigrate to China, unless they are Chinese. I think there is an exception for people who marry Chinese (I’m not 100% sure) but otherwise their entire immigration policy is hostile to the West.
And we do nothing, about that. Nothing. We sell out American manufacturers to China, who maintains 51% ownership, we do not expect anything in return, and WE are the ones criticized?
The entire immigration debate is so skewed as to be completely laughable.
Except it is completely serious. And our side is asleep.
Completely asleep.
Good post.
I pointed out to him that on the day after 9-11, the PRC announced a list of countries (fourteen in all) who’s citizens would not be allowed to board any aircraft inbound to China from any airport in the world.
That included people who had already purchased tickets aboard Air China or any other Chinese-owned air carrier. They issued an apology for any inconvenience, and stated that this policy would be in effect until further notice.
Of course, he had never heard this. He knew nothing about it.
And, of course, much closer to home, we have Mexico and its immigration laws. Want to live in Mexico, you have to get a permit, disclose your address to the police and return to the US every six months. You have no right to any political activity whatsoever and becoming a Mexican citizen requires an act of their Congress. Any mention of our enacting the same policies are naturally racist.
