CHINA'S Immigration policy is NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT! 

If we can be self-reliant while also helping others to be self-reliant, there will be no refugee or immigration problem.

Before China was very poor and nobody wanted to immigrate there. And China wanted less people and introduced the one child policy. Immigration policy hasn't changed because of it.

The Chinese government takes a look at the open borders policy of the West and all the problems that come along with it…thanks and no thanks.

Seems like the Chinese are the smartest in the world.

If you are married to a chinese person. Also stayed in China for 5 years. You can apply Chinese greencard.

Chinese is a nationality not a race.

Your son or daughter can be Chinese citizen even though you are a foreigner but married a Chinese person.

East asian countries like China Korea Japan just don't have that tradition of taking in immigrants, so it really doesn't register with them or be on their mind.

That 107 year old Canadian lady who died last year was as close to a Chinese person you will ever get , She was recognised for all her work

As China is a big country with 1.4 billion, the government is not eager to attract huge amounts of immigrants. Anyway, if you marry a Chinese woman & stay in China over 5 years, you may apply for immigration.

Children adopted by Chinese citizens can get Chinese citizenship, for example the Henan Girl who was adopted in Pakistan brought back and grow up in China.

China is a socialist country, and its people have built the country to its present level through long and hard work together.To open up immigration lightly would be a betrayal of the suffering endured by the people.

It is their country .

They don't needs those newcomers votes, plus it's the norm amongst Asian accepting immigration is a new concept for them.

China did accept refugees. In WW2, a lot of Jews were accepted to Shanghai

I would say China’s immigration policy is POLITICALLY CORRECT for China as it fits China’s situation considering the 1.4 billion population and it has never been a colonialist power. I don‘t think it is fair to say it’s not politically correct if it doesn’t have a similar immigration policy of the west. If you look outside the west, there are many countries also do not have a similar immigration policy of the west.

You are so correct, I’m an expat from Canada who now lives in China and there is no better place in the world to live ❤. By the way, western country leaders love diversity because it means no unity, people who are not united are much more easily controlled

I agree with what you’ve stated. China 🇨🇳 for the Chinese.

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."

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.

Hi New sub here, I lived in China for 7 years ,Its a great country , I agree with their immigration laws, I never had a problem with visas, I was there in March, I have one more year left on my 10 year visa,

China in fact is a truly multicultural country with over 50 ethnic groups and all integrated into a relatively peaceful society.😊

I agree and it’s working out for 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.

Always love Gweilo videos, stay healthy from Montreal.

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...

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.

_Your spirit, your soul, your attitude, your traits to me are already true blue Chinese buddy. You're a good man_

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.

Lots of Westerners would love to be in your shoes.

"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.

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.

As long as you have enough money to live there becoming citizen is not important imo 😊

Very true.Nobody will migrate if your own country is good.

Canada is seriously screwed!!!

Love your attitude! Enjoy life in China!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

absolute 100% correct in this video

As a PR, one can enjoy the best of both worlds Kirk!! Chin up, enjoy China!! 👍👍👏👏

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.😂

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.

Thank you Gwellio 👏 A very impactful, helpful video presentation 🤟💯🙏✌️

Another great video Gweilo 60. Cheers on that beer

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.

It's technically the most difficult to become Chinese. Even children born abroad by Chinese citizens with pr won't get Chinese citizenship

@ 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.

11:07 Inexpensive? Maybe in a 3rd tier city like Nanning. It would be a lot more expensive in cities like Shanghai and Beijing.

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.

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.

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

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.

RU-vid GOAT🎉 Awesome videos Geilo

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Yes, cost of living in China is much lower. Lucky you and enjoy.

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

minimum wage in Texas is $7.25 - who is going to be more reliable at that rate?

China has 1.4 billion population. Do they still need immigrants?

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.

could it be they have enough people?

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.

Obviously Political Correctness is not always the Correct Way.😢😢😢

That girl zoomed past Gweilo at China speed.

FYI: Poland did a political 180 recently.

A good life Kirk, don't let anyone spoil it.

Where can I find budget accommodation for 1 month in Naning ?

The commercial before this video was Nancy asking for money

I agree with you. The Chinese Government should relax its immigration policy, in order to attract more people to come to China.

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.

As always roaming the street of nanning with natural surrounding it's lovely to watch,Jayoe

中国有那么几位外国人通过法律变成中国公民的，但是少到2只手就可以数出来，有一位我非常喜欢的翻译家叫 沙博理，他在1963年8月23日加入中华人民共和国国籍。而且他生前是政协委员，老人家已经去世了。

Chinese is not a globalist imperialist or colonialist nation respect to them .

@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. 😢

The same in indonesia, man can not get indonesian passport by marriage but woman can get indonesian passport when they married to indonesian man

Yes, you can't be Chinese the same way you can't be African.

Importing highly skilled and good IQ immigrants may be good.

China sure has to curve out own policy that deem suitable at point in time.

Many people in india don't really helps india they are getting out of to find oppotunity in the west including politics in the u.s

Great video❤

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.

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.

I couldn't agree more!

✌✌✌

What happened to the Philippine travels ? I thought you are interested in moving there or finding a Filipino wife ?

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.

My biggest gripe with China was that I never will be Chinese. My wife who is from Guangzhou just became an American citizen and it was pretty easy.

Very beautiful talk of my dear bro ❤❤❤ love you and respect your country for it's good traits

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").

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.

Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Will be visiting Nanning Aug 8th, will see if I bump into you kirk to say hello

Always enjoy watching your videos Thanks
