China: USA Must Take More Syrian Refugees; We’ll Take Zero, Thanks
Brietbart ^ | 09/12/15 | John Hayward

“The United States should take its responsibility in the disheartening refugee crisis in Europe as its controversial Middle East policies resulted in wars and chaos that displaced large numbers of people,” hectors China’s state-run news agency, Xinhua.

They dwell on the photo of the drowned Syrian toddler — who was not in the process of fleeing from Syria when he died — and the horrid deaths of 70 refugees in a smuggler’s truck in Austria.

If you’re waiting for some massive groundswell of public sympathy for refugees to change the Chinese Politburo’s mind about settling some Syrians in their territory, the Hong Kong Free Press notes that the Chinese public is “overwhelmingly against the idea,” because they think “China is not responsible for turbulence in the Middle East, many Chinese people are still living in poverty and that the refugees won’t want to come to China anyway.”

That latter point sounds pretty dismal, and indeed some Chinese spoke poorly of their own nation, with one arguing that “China cannot provide refuge, because we the Chinese look more like refugees”… but others pointed out the refugees were more interested in migrating to the generous welfare states of Europe.

The Chinese should take it up with congressional Republicans.

Those rugged, combative American pols have been dropping trou and bending over to accommodate Obama; they just might go down on their knees for the Chinese.

Sounds like other people’s problems to me. Why exactly would we want to make it our problem?

To demonstrate our humanitarian virtue, we should take in twice the number of refugees taken in by all of the Middle Eastern Arab countries and China combined. So far that works out to be just about Zero.

Let’s focus on helping CHRISTIAN refugees!

There are plenty of muslim countries over there to absorb the rest.

Don’t you love how China lectures us, but at the very same time they say NO to the Refugees.

China will not take squat, but will say WE should.

Hypocrites!

EXACTLY.

Perfect title.

China is a closed country. We need to stop building them up, and BRING BACK AMERICAN BUSINESS.

Don't worry, they'll hire some union TSA types from some airport. They're experts. EXPERTS I tell you! With uncanny jedi-like senses.

If these people were really “refugees” seeking to escape with their lives, then China would be just fine. They would escape with their lives.

But they are not refugees. They are seeking freebies and to infiltrate Europe and US.

Weren’t the Chinese the same ones who lectured to the United States about gun control in the wake of Sandy Hook, only to have some nutball there run amok in a school and exacting a considerable death toll with a knife about a day or so after that lecturing?

Our pals, the Chi Coms -- always looking out for the best interests of the American people, just like Obozo and his Merry Band of Marxists and muzzies.
Kind of reminiscent of the election-winning-advice the Demmunists and lame stream media gleefully provide, and which the RINO dupe strategists always fall for hook, line, and sinker.

We’ll take as many as can walk here and they can do the same. :-)

My take on this: Take in any women and children or infirmed. The remainder stay to fight for their country. And when they win, we’ll send the women and children back - women and children that have been housed in REX 84 camps since they got here.
