Here's some funny memes and my translation, and a summary of criticism that doesn't involve "we are chinks that hate niggers on weibo".
(< this is guangzhou BTW)
(A picture says a thousand words)
This law was proposed as Coronachan continues to take lives, so it's tangentially related.
Alright, here's the law itself:
The law is just one page long.
Australia's, many pages long:
https://www.australia.gov.au/information-and-services/immigration-and-visas
USA, same, there's lots of pages:
https://www.usa.gov/immigration-and-citizenship
The proposed law is missing a whole bunch of entries. That's why it's vague and that why it's being criticised. Can immigrants get Chinese citizenship? What happens when they commit fraud or worse violent crimes? What about marriage and their children? Will they be deported? Naturalisation? Are they required to be fluent in the Chinese language? There's so many questions, many obvious ones that are crucial to immigration policies that are missing. Besides Weibo acting like the Chink/pol/ when it comes to nigger memes, there's a myriad of valid criticism to make against this proposed law.
Now, I'll translate it.
Chapter Two Requirements for application [of permanent residency (PR)]
#10: Foreigner who abides by Chinese law, has the economics means to live independently in China, and meets the requirements, are allowed to apply for permanent residency in China.
Foreigners who are in China on the basis of foreign relations or business affairs will not be allowed to apply during their stay in China.
#11: Foreigners who provided extraordinary help to China's economy, meeting one of the following requirements, and being recommended by Chinese officials, provincial government, autonomous regions, or municipalities, can apply for PR.
a) Contributing greatly to technology, education, culture, sports, health etc.
b) Charities with great contributions.
c) Contributions to Chinese foreign relations, friendliness among different nations, global peace and global development.
d) Other means of contributions to China's economy
#12 Internationally recognised figures in economics, technology, sports, culture, education, health etc who holds exceptional achievements can apply for PR.
#13 Foreigners who are experts in certain fields and needed to further improve China's economy, meeting one of the below, can apply for PR:
a) Crucial industries and areas recognised by the government, which require experts and specialists.
b) Nationally recognised higher level schools, technological departments invited and recommended assistant doctors, assistant researchers and above experts in the field of technology (or what we call STEM), or other high level schools and technological departments invited and recommended doctors and researchers, are allowed to apply.
c) Highly advanced technological companies, innovative companies, and famous Chinese companies' invited and recommended high end managers (COO?) and experts.
d) Foreigners fulfilling #12 and successfully acquiring Chinese PR can recommend foreign experts to apply.
#14 Chinese immigration office should coordinate with foreign relations, development, education, technology, human resources, social secutiry, business, culture, health, sports etc departments to discuss further on the scope of #12 and #13, includes but not limited to the basis of the laws.
#15 Foreigners legally working in China, and meeting one of the following requirements, and having good credit when it comes to taxation and banking loans, can apply for PR:
a) PhD, or graduated from internationally recognised colleges, been working in China for 3 years and accumulative residency in China for no less than a year.
b) Nationally recognised crucial fields, departments, having 3 consecutive years of work and accumulative residency of no less than one year, and income that is no less than 4 times the average income within the same area of the previous year. (basically, income needs to be 4x of the average of the same industry in the same area the previous year)
c) Working in China for 4 years, accumulative residency of no less than 2 years, income that is no less than 6 times the average income of the same area the previous year.
d) Working in China for 8 years, accumulative residency of no less than 4 years, income that is no less than 3 times the average income of the same area the previous year.
(Note, just the average income, NOT within the same industry, just the same area. Working in tech easily outdoes the average income by 10+ times)
Income in points b) and d) are the minimum requirement, and the standards are to be implements by the governments of the specific regions. (getting a bit lazy, the governments are provincial, municipalities... blahblah, basically the local gov)
#16 Foreigners that meet the requirements of investment laws, investing as the natural person or stock owner of the company, meeting one of the following, and having 3 years of constant investments, with good taxation and bank loan scores, can apply for PR:
a) Investment of 10,000,000 yuan, which is 1.44 million USD
b) Investing in industries or areas that are recommended nationally, meeting the requirements in investment, and meeting the standards in taxation and employment percentage of Chinese citizens. (so, what is the percentage? Not mentioned)
c) Implementing high tech companies, innovative companies, with good outcome, and recommended by the local government.
That's it. Simple, isn't it? It's not the must invest $2 million, be a phd, work for many years, be an expert, reeeeee basically impossible why can't I just fuck a chink and get the PR rubbish spouted by that whatever guy who made the video. It's "one of the following", not "all" which is impossible to meet.
If this law passes, immigration to China is pretty simple. Just work there in tech for 3 years, be nice to managers, and let them recommend you. You're not in tech? Then it's going to be 4 or 8 years and you need somewhat higher income than average. Guess what the average is? Having a supplement store on Chinese eCommerce stores easily earns you 10 times the average, source is friends in China. You either have to be an expert of a field, get recommended as worthy, have $1.5 million USD (1.44 is more than fucking 500k away from 2 million, the disparity is larger than the death tolls of Nanking Massacre, 265k VS 230k VS 300k), or contribute greatly to specific industries. "Greatly" isn't defined.
This law is vague as fuck and make it rather simple to immigrate to China, not that many would want to do so.
Excluding incels sperging about nigger international students on weibo (sorry, most nogs won't meet any of the above), here's the criticism I've seen:
- The law is too vague
- A law shouldn't be passed that has "further discussion" in it
- A law shouldn't be passed with standards being listed as "pending"
- Many Chinese still live in utter poverty, we should worry about our locals first
- Who the fuck wants to move to China?
- With healthcare and access to public transport not readily available in tier 3 areas and below, it's way too early to discuss immigration
- Immigration will bring sophisticated racial relations and tension
- There is no requirement for fluency in the Chinese language
- There is no requirement for knowledge of Chinese culture
- What about marriage, and the kids?
- Did anyone forget about the virus?
- Voting online is stupid, have a real one
- Can the PR be taken away if the person breaks the law, and will they be subsequently deported?
- Fuck chain migration (I agree, fuck it)
- 1.4 billion isn't enough?
But of course, for these channels, it's infinitely easier to find some weibo incel ranting on about niggers and make a video scatterbombing utterly useless non-arguments about racism and xenophobia. Why find or pay someone to translate the thing properly and research local laws and technical jargon when you can virtue signal about how much of a not-racist and not-xenophobic 白左 shitbag you are, whilst garnering positivity from equally vapid and xenophiliac yellow-fever infested peers?
I personally think this law is far too ambiguous, it's as if someone drafted it while taking a batshit dump after eating bat sashimi.
At least basic knowledge and relation to local culture must be required to apply for PR in any place. A Chinaman wanting a PR in Australia should know at least our iconic animals, Australia day, and the correct way to eat a sausage sizzle:
Fold the bread half, edge to edge, not from the fucking middle you tard.
Conversely, anyone who wants a PR in China should have some connection to Chinese culture, festivals, and icons. DO NOT make it political though. I'll draw the line at National Days.
Moreover, language is important too. PR holders of Australia who can't speak two Engrish sentences are just as pathetic as those living and working in China, who can't speak very basic Chinese. At least primary school level (perhaps year/grade 5 or 6) fluency in the local language should be required.
Chain migration is the definition of being a parasite. That should not be allowed.
What I do agree with that biker guy is marriage. Those who marry, have a stable job, have kids, should be allowed to get a PR. The PR should be taken away if they initiate a divorce 3 years after acquisition for no good reason. This means, those who start relationships to get PRs should have decency. There's plenty of people who do this shit, and I find them distasteful. Marriage is important, not a tool for one's benefit.
All this is babble though, because unless one is diagnosed with severe yellow-fever, who would live there? I wasted 1.5 hours of life translating this horrible joke of a draft.
