I expect Vietnam to be a major source immigrants coming to China in the future. There will be so many Vietnamese that there will be Vietnam town in many cities.

CPC has no incentive and will not repeat the obvious mistakes made by Americans to exploit new immigrants instead of continuing automation…… I don’t expect there to be mass immigrations into China like US/Europe ever.

Most of the time the CIA/USAID do not start the fire: rather they just fan the flames. CIA realized that a much higher probability of success can be realized by bolstering and co-opting organic protests.

Pretty much this, their ground agents task is to create an elephant from a fly and take hold of the protests.
That is why it succeeds really well in very poor countries because poor people make cheap protestors.

I guess, the saying that “familiarity breeds contempt” isn’t completely wrong. lol

reason I don’t see why some people are so against immigration. As far as immigration is selective and strict then it’s okay. After all , it can’t just be about race, since there will be people who are not from your race but who have far more to bring to your country than many people from your own race and they might even be more patriotic than some of your own citizens/race. lol. So it’s not always mutually exclusive . :)

, say archaeologist Massimo Vidale of the University of Padua in Italy and colleagues. Tang rulers held power from A.D. 618 to 907. During the 1260s or shortly thereafter, the fearsome-looking Chinese sculpture reached Venice, where local artisans modified its features to create a winged lion, Vidale’s team reports September 3 in Antiquity.

Distinct forms of lead identified in metal samples from the lion statue’s original parts closely match the lead composition of copper ore deposits in China’s Lower Yangzi River basin, the researchers report. Initially regarded as a religious symbol, winged lion depictions became an emblem of Venetian political power in the early 1260s. Columns in St Mark’s Square, including one supporting the lion statue, were erected around that time. Researchers have not found any documents citing a date for the lion’s placement atop its column. A big mystery concerns how an ancient Chinese tomb guardian statue reached medieval Venice. One possibility suggested by the researchers: Marco Polo’s father and uncle, who visited the Mongol court in what’s now Beijing from 1264 to 1268, may have sent the original statue to Venice along
