You are right, anyone with a passport can leave. Anyone can get a passport, unless they are a wanted criminal or on bail or something. An unpaid debt it very possible.

There is no online privacy in China, it's even troublesome to be a practising christian. It's very common for people to be denied exit from China.

@@robspunk That is not true! You have never lived in China. No government official, employer or police officer here has ever asked me my religion or if I have one.

Not only is it an American dream, but it's an American pipe dream.

well, a lot of companies/factories in China has been running on the infamous 9-9-6 work schedule, so of course working 40 hours a week is basically a dream for a lot of these Chinese migrants.

@@vanlao6367 the thing is depending on which city you work and what job you have. More and more Americans are working 2 jobs to make end meets. Hourly workers who work Monday to Friday barely make enough if they live in the big cities 8 hours a day. If you are lucky enough in a salary position, may work extended hours…

Times have changed as: 1. US no longer give citizenship upon entry. 2. US-China tension might make integration slightly difficult. 3. If you lacked English proficiency, you're definitely faced difficulties in integrating into the society.

U.S has started to deport these Chinese back to China last week and more to go after Trump wins the election 😅

"these Chinese" biggest mistake is *ignorance,* most Chinese are just that.

They might regretted later.

A lot are running away from debts or have funds from corrupt activities!!!

Especially if Trump gets into office.

Says the immigrant

@@robspunkLegal immigrant, I didn’t jump the fence. I went through multiple interviews, background checks, vaccinations before being allowed to set foot in this country all while paying thousands of dollars to be legally part of American society. The system should be fair to everyone.

@@robspunk, why not? Im an immigrant too. Came legally, had to show multiple documents to prove my education, crime free history , and my English language skills to get a visa. Worked several hours to support myself, all while studying several hours a day simultaneously to catch up with the American education standards coming from a vastly inferior system. Endured mental breakdown to keep up with the requirements and expectations. And people can walk in for nothing? That waters down what America is. I didn't come here to see a Chinese America, (or my country's version). I want an American America where people didn't jump the line, broke laws and took shortcut to get here.

you're right that Chinese emigration has been happening for decades and is influenced by various factors, including economic opportunities and personal aspirations. With a population of 1.4 billion, it's natural for some to seek better prospects abroad. The stories of Chinese migrants reflect a long history of seeking new opportunities, adapting to new environments, and contributing to their new communities, while also highlighting the diverse motivations and challenges faced by these individuals.

@@ksrawat88 Claiming asylum after crossing into the U.S. border means that you are asserting a legal right under international and U.S. law to seek refuge from persecution in your home country. When someone enters the U.S. and claims asylum, they are not immediately classified as an illegal immigrant because they are invoking a legal process to determine whether they qualify for refugee status or other forms of protection. This process involves interviews and assessments to determine the validity of their claim based on established criteria, such as fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Seeking asylum does not guarantee approval, but it does afford individuals certain legal protections during the adjudication process. Therefore, the terminology "illegal immigrant" is not applicable to individuals who are actively pursuing asylum claims within the legal framework provided by U.S. immigration laws.

@@RaymondHng where they claiming asylum.?? By invading country.?

@@ksrawat88 "Invading a country" refers to an act where one country's military forces enter another country's territory without permission from the government of that country. Individuals crossing the border are not military forces and they are not "invading a country". "Claiming asylum" refers to the process by which a person who is seeking international protection applies to be recognized as a refugee. This usually occurs when someone flees their own country due to fear of persecution or serious harm based on factors such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. When someone claims asylum, they are seeking legal recognition and protection in another country, asserting that they cannot return to their home country safely. Countries that are signatories to international agreements, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, have legal obligations to consider such claims and provide protection to those who qualify as refugees. The individual must file Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal. The applicant typically waits for several months to be scheduled for an interview with USCIS. The wait time can vary significantly based on the current caseload and processing times. Following the interview, USCIS usually takes some time to review the case and make a decision. This can range from a few weeks to several months, again depending on the specifics of the case and workload. If the application is denied, the applicant may have the option to appeal the decision, which can extend the process further. If the case is referred to immigration court (if the applicant is in removal proceedings), the timeline can also be prolonged.

Most of them threw away china passport. Some brilliant Chinese did not threw away their passport go back to China after 6 months struggling in USA. They said they really regret going to USA. Luckily they still had money in their china bank account.

"Anyone with a passport can leave". Most people can leave, but some people are prevented from leaving, including many Uyghurs, Tibetans, some people who have criticized the Party, some people involved in a business dispute, ect. People active in the PLA are prevented by law from leaving the country, people in leadership positions in government must have prior permission to leave. All these limitations apply even if you're just going on vacation to Thailand, or a shopping trip to HK. However, most people don't belong to any of the above groups, so they can all leave.

@@pjacobsen1000 Ah, no, not really... Outside of people with legal issues, Chinese people can leave. Criticism of the party is normal enough; the Cultural Revolution has been over for half a century. Hundreds of millions of Chinese leave China (and return) as tourists every year, except during covid. If someone really needs to sneak out the western border is very rough and difficult to police.

China has been stopping their citizens from leaving their country. I heard that Chinese Immigration staff would sometimes confiscate a Mainland Chinese traveller's Passport at the Immigration window. This would result of a passenger not being able to board the plane.

@@alaindelon611 I am here in China and returned home across the border last week. Nobody tried to stop me going in or out. Only if there is a legal problem, like being wanted by the police, would they confiscate a passport. What you have heard is a White supremacist fairy tale.

You can invoke/assert your legal right under international law to seek refuge status. Many Africans have done that. Guangzhou has the largest African community in China.

I don't think been a illegal immigrant is a easier route to make money,for me they are just a bunch of people live in their fantasy.

That's what the asylum is for. They know what'll happen if they go back so they keep them here till they become citizens. Remember the Chinese are called the model minority for a reason.

freedom to say whatever they want is a first lol

Which type of immigrants? People with skills the economy really needs, I absolutely agree. But not all immigrants are like that. The ones who end up working as restaurant severs or store stockers…there are already enough unemployed Americans who can do that. The unemployment rate might be low but it’s not zero.

Labour brokers estimate that tens of thousands work at factories in the Pearl River Delta, which abuts Hong Kong. Workers from other Southeast Asian nations are joining them. Visits by Reuters to a half-dozen factory towns in southern China revealed the employment of illegalworkers from Vietnam is widespread, and authorities often turn a blind eye to their presence. Workers from Myanmar and Laos were also discovered to be working in these areas. Reuters found that employers supply these illegalworkers with fake identity cards and sometimes confine them to factory compounds to keep them out of sight of the authorities. Reuters
