I doubt it because the Chinese are very protective of their homogeneity and see what has happened in Europe as a massive cautionary tale. So my guess is that they will be very picky and control both quality and numbers tightly.

>>and see what has happened in Europe as a massive cautionary tale As a European - what has happened to us, exactly? I'm curious what kind of thing you think is happening to Europe that is such disaster that even China should be afraid of it.

  European GDP per capita has not grown since the crash in 2008. Ever since we have heard that immigrants are being imported for jobs, yet the economy only gets worse, house prices increases due to supply and demand and crime rate is not equal among groups. Yes some people are just white supremacists but also, immigration hasn't solved anything in Europe in recent times. It is not like the US where you have a massive startup scene and get an Elon Musk from South Africa to create jobs and add meaningful value.

    >>Ever since we have heard that immigrants are being imported for jobs You do realize that most of European migration is internal, right? Polish workers going to Germany, that kind of thing? It would be like complaining that American migration is crazy because of all the people moving from Kansas to take jobs in California. >> house prices increases due to supply and demand and crime rate is not equal among groups As compared to....? >>It is not like the US where you have a massive startup scene and get an Elon Musk from South Africa to create jobs and add meaningful value. I'm like, honestly not sure what to say to that. I could maybe start listing successful businesses started and/or ran by immigrants in the EU if that helps? Or is the fact that none of them are as famous as Elon Musk a dealbreaker?

      It isn't true that most migration is internal, actually. Across the whole EU in 2023 77% of new immigrants were non-EU [1], for instance. [1] https://www.rfberlin.com/immigrant-population-eu/ https://www.rfberlin.com/immigrant-population-eu/

    Not getting an Elon Musk seems like a massive positive.

        Ha! In the US women don't need to wait for immigrants to be abused or assaulted. Native born Americans do it.

        >>Complete demographic destruction In what way? Immigrants, even in France, are a tiny minority. How do you feel that your demographics have been "completely" destroyed?

        >Immigrants, even in France, are a tiny minority I said "demographic", nothing about the legal concept of immigration/citizenship.

        Ok, so please explain what you mean because I'm still not sure what exactly "complete destruction of demographics" means in this context.
