    Would China really open up to more immigration? I was looking it up and for my job field they def don’t need my type.

    I feel that immigration in the west is only permitted as much as it is because of how it serves capitalism - having an underclass of workers without the same rights as citizens so they can be exploited.

        Yeah, and the US is the biggest outlier by far. Almost 50 million people in this country were born elsewhere. Expecting China to take that on seems unrealistic. However, it would be in China’s interest to take on some of that to hold off their declining population issue.

      For highly skilled workers they need yeah. I wasn’t talking about letting just anyone in. But they have been expanding their opening up in various areas. Recently they made part of shanghai visa free entry for anyone invited by a local business for example.

        well China has many temporary migrant workers, but accepts very few permanent immigrants. only about 0.1% of china’s population are immigrants; lower than almost all other countries in the world
