Get ready to learn Chinese, computer touchers. In all seriousness, this is a very interesting development as China starts looking at leveraging brain drain against the West. What’s really interesting is that K visas don’t need a sponsoring company, you can get the visa, move, then get a job.

    It’s bizarre to even make arguments of inferiority or superiority based on racist shit when you name a segment of your own history the “century of humiliation”, was that because of racial inferiority too? Of course fucking not.

      The “inferior” part refers to darker skinned people, especially the fear of Indians and Africans with “fake university qualifications” “flooding the country”, and they point to what happened in Western countries. Many would still accept white people coming into their country (though this is also starting to receive some backlash as Chinese people become more confident about their own country).

      Unfortunate to see such blatant racism being displayed out in the open. I always thought we’re better than that, but maybe that’s because China has always kept a tight immigration policy so people never get the anxiety about that. I am still surprised by the overreaction though.

      The crazy Han Chauvinist crowd in Chinese internet would blame the Manchu
