Legally come through studying or work. From China or other Asian countries like Taiwan Japan.

Most people in western countries are accepting of immigrants. A good portion of people move for work within countries between cities. There's always some problems but the main thing is acclimating to the climate and then the culture. Know the areas culture to understand a little more context on how they feel about it. The two reasons you gave usually provide the best social structure for someone to come over and guide the person.

I wish I could emigrate through studying in the us. But it’s way too hard... and in the predictable future, due to the intense relationship between ccp and the us, it may get harder to emigrate. Sigh...

I'm all for it. Both my parents were immigrants my wife's family is immigrants. I grew up in Michigan with a huge Muslim immigrant population. It's all good.

Unfortunately immigrants are an easy "other" and big target for the "they took our jobs" or "my neighborhood used to be for me". Crowd.

I don't pretend to have an answer for that problem because it's an emotional and healing problem not a political a or statistical problem.

We see Korea and Japan literally collapsing rather than let in more immigrants so that's a clue on how stuck in their ways people are.

Also I'm way more progressive than most. for most of human history borders were open and people just went where they wanted. it's only this last 80ish years we're the idea is a border should always be perpetually closed. Which i think is very anti human and terrible economically.
