I'll bet 95% want to emigrate from Shanghai. Are they still welded inside their apartments with little food?

George Will once advocated a planeload of passports to give them.

If I was under the rule of a satanic Winne the Pooh, I would emigrate too.

I know two people who wants to leave Hong Kong but are unable to. The husband is a US Army veteran (not an American citizen though), in information technology, and were active in the Hong Kong protests.

We have not heard from them for a while so we suspect the CCP has them under surveillance.

It’s time for these people to start fixing their problems in their own countries. Everyone running from communism, and now it’s in the U.S., and it’s on collapse.

Democrat 'elites' don't want people who might compete with THEM. Our 'elites' want brown and black illegals from poor hellholes so they'll be the new 'servant class' - poor and grateful... people to kiss white liberal 'elite' butt.

The folks from Hong Kong would make good neighbors... and they'd contribute. Democrats would NOT let them cross in from Mexico... no free phones and baby formula for folks who love freedom and might compete with our 'liberal elites'...

The citizens of Hong Kong are in large measure educated, industrious and law-abiding. Exfiltrating them en masse to the United States would be a huge gain for us and a brain drain for China. In other words it should be done, although of course it will not be.

Before the Ukrainian conflict a survey of Russians said that a huge percentage of the younger people wanted to immigrate. Even then the people saw little chance of bettering their lot in life if they stayed in Russia. When hostilities started many men of draft age fled the country. Russia (and China) have a huge demographic problem already. The economic drivers are people who are below the age of about forty. They are the ones who buy cars, houses, have kids, etc. Spend, spend spend. Xi was trying to transition the economy into one that depended on its own consumption, but there aren’t enough people to support the economy. In Germany they export 47 percent of their GDP. In the US it’s about three percent. (Depending on how you count it.)

So, having young people leave could spell doom.

The top three reasons for the consideration were for a better living environment (51 percent), to seek better education for their children (29 percent), and to obtain multiple foreign residence status and nationality (27 percent).

Why wasn't "Escaping the inhuman clutches of the rabid slogan-touting Chicoms" an option?

In Japan, there are more senior diapers sold than infant diapers.

Hong Kong is a great example of what happens if the public doesn’t fight like hell on a massive scale when tyranny comes knocking on the door. Sure, they had their protest groups for a while, but they obediently dropped all of that and hid inside their homes when the all-too-convenient virus lockdowns began. And that was the last they saw of their freedoms.

We’re headed down the same road because not enough people are willing to risk their comfort and possessions, things that ironically they will lose anyway if tyranny prevails. We also have the illusion of elections that permits many to think that they can vote their way out of tyranny without actually having to fight for their freedom. Maybe that will work (Virginia), but I doubt it (2020).

N0 should be allowed into the US. Let them fix their own problems there. Or die trying.

They have other options, like Australia, Canada (Vancouver) and other countries in the Pacific.

They certainly do. My point was that their coming to the USA would be a net benefit for us as well as for them.

Nope. We need to prioritize western and western descended immigrants rather than East Asians who have always been incompatible with our European-descended culture. Let the diaper faced Cantonese enrich Singapore and Malaysia.

They sure can’t come here to get anything different than they get there. Our leaders admire China. Schools here suck too.
