Very doubtful and unlikely. China, like the other East Asia countries, is very serious about preserving its culture and they see the cautionary tale that Europe has become. Not sure how much the author knows about China and the Chinese.
Even just starting by making a comparison to the UK to extrapolate how many immigrants China could absorb strikes me as odd: The Chinese are actually horrified by the result of mass immigration in Europe and the UK. Mass immigration as obviously good and inevitable is a purely Western "dogma" and in fact the Chinese even have an expression for this left-of-centre ideology in the West: 白左, which means "white left" [1]. The Wikipedia page has a strangely orientated description but it is true that it is quite widespread among Chinese who live or have travelled extensively overseas.

- baiwl 11mo agoYou just have to see how they’ve handled Xinjiang to know how they feel about this matter.
- seanmcdirmid 11mo agoI’ve been to Urumqi and Beijiang before, what do you mean?
- mytailorisrich 11mo agoVery interesting, so to speak, but fairly typical, to see my previous comment quickly downvoted. Perhaps that's a QED on how the topic is dogma beyond critical discussion in many circles. Refusing to see issues through different points of views both prevents gaining understanding of others and forces your views on others. I thunk this is partl what happens every time someone predicts that China (or another country) will inevitably do exactly what we have.
