If you give women autonomy over their bodies as an international mandatory law, by abolishing child marriage and 100% effective family planning, there will be no immigration, period! Studies show that if men leave women alone, they will never go get pregnant. Therefore if you allow men to kidnap, rape, child/ arrange marriage, and ban abortion then babies will be the end results of those traditions. Typical!?

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.

"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.

@ 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.

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.

The things about Chinese children is that they must respect and obey elder people. You call older people "Uncle or Aunty" and manners but that is slowly going down as due to 1 child policy. Chinese people will judge you by your manner and how you respect them and in return you get respect also.

It may be the minimum wage but no company would survive bc of competition I live in Houston & retired from Pharmacy but work at Walmart just greeting people & they started me at $14/Hr 1 year ago. And Walmart is one of lowest paying companies. Nobody in Houston gets less than $12/Hr.

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.

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

Things change with time. You are right. China cannot exist in a bubble.......we may not live long enough to see it, but eventually things change. Its weird how humans are so different and so similar.....makes you wonder if we were deliberately created like this.....but if we are intelligent then we should figure out the best way to live. Extreme capitalism with oligarchs are certainly creating a lot of hardships.

Chinese is not a globalist imperialist or colonialist nation respect to them .
China is an ancient civilization, ancient culture that has worked spanning 4000 thousand years. They’ve been the richest most powerful nation for much of history. Just returning to its place in history.

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.

In the US, integration into American society takes three generations. The immigrants (1st generation) stay within their own immigrant community because they always lack the English language skills and contacts/connections that would enable them to integrate. Most of their children (2nd generation) also stay within the same immigrant community because their fluency in English and acceptable, speaking ability in their parents' native language allows them to serve as effective "go-betweens" between the immigrants (especially their parents) and various government offices, employers, religious organisations, etc. However, most of the grandchildren (3rd generation) leave that immigrant community behind and enter mainstream American society as the original immigrants (1st generation) pass away (which eliminates the need for "go-betweens").

This short video by Wong Fu Productions shows the contrast in perspective between immigrants (1st generation) and their children (2nd generation) and the yearning of the latter to move beyond their immigrant community and become more involved in the larger society.

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.
