Seems comparable to immigration controls between countries.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoIt’s more comparable to the movement controls of apartheid.
- klipt 9y agoArguably, immigration controls are also similar to the movement controls of Apartheid. They're just more socially acceptable because pretty much every country does it.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoSure. But discriminating on your own citizens based on where they were born (or where their parents were born in china’s case) is extra douchey.
- klipt 9y agoI believe you can change Hukou after a few years so it's not strictly where they were born. Many American state universities discriminate against students based on where their parents live (e.g. charging in-state vs out-of-state tuition).
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoA. Yes but it’s very hard. You have to marry in it or be a grad from a good university in a good major. B. Yes, but you easily get residence by living there for less than a year. Also,public K12 schools can’t discriminate like they do in china.
