Apparently the worship is over according to an American (maybe 2nd gen Chinese/Asian) that did a reddit AMA. The guy try to assault a police while drunk and was put into detention the entire time he was waiting for trial. 6 months of detention (the max he can be held before trial), trial found him guilty and sentence him to 6 months time serve.He said the embassy guy went to visit him once in a while and handed him some english magazines during that period and said time has changed.
That's a good development.

What you are saying is sacrilege to the memory of those who died fighting the Japanese in burma road.Yeah that is the attitude of 3rd class country and people! Contrast that to what the israeli does! There is Chinese saying drinking water remember where the source is. China owe a debt of gratitude to overseas chinese I said that un abashedly During the long economic blockade The west cut off all access to dollar and who provide dollar to buy the necessity of running a state basically kept it afloat . You bet it it is the overseas Chinese thru remittance money provide those money. The first 20 years of Chinese reform overseas Chinese provide most of the capital

I don't want to live in PRC My family is wealthy enough to be able to live anywhere in the world But many are not so lucky as I am

China can't provide you with that. Here's what China can do for you:

1. Give you a refugee visa in case of mass violent persecution like those given to Chinese Vietnamese and Chinese Indonesians.

2. Offer you study and business opportunities.

3. Offer you longer and less restrictive visas than to non ethnic Chinese.

That's about it. This is available to those who want the help. Many Chinese Indonesians refused the help - understandably, since their lives are in Indonesia and didn't want to lose everything. They made their decision and the rest was history.

Note this is relatively generous. For example US doesn't offer ex-citizens much except tax audits.

Do not want to drag this OT too far but it's worth some clarfication. I wouldn't call it "worship", in particular if it was the authorities being discussed.

The root cause is that the Chinese government was overly cautious, serious and rigid in handling foreign affairs. It used to (maybe still does) take civil disputes and criminal cases involving foreigners as foreign affairs first. In practice, there were also turf wars between the government branches. And you can guess which group always won.

In the end, local authorities, in particular the police departments, were demotivated and disincentivized to deal with foreigners equally and fairly.

The US flew U-2s and other spy planes regularly over China. The US didn't seem to care about respecting Chinese airspace yet China is throwing it into the US's face when China flies into Taiwan's ADIZ? The only reason the US stopped flying U2s over China was because China gained the capability to shoot them down and not because the US respected international law. The late Donald Rumsfeld hated China because one of his best buddies was illegally flying over China on spy missions and got shot down. Now wouldn't an international law abiding American know the US violated the law thus Donny doesn't have a reason to hate China so much. I guess it's white privilege that makes China in the wrong.

This just proves just how fragile is indian national unity, imagine what happens if China starts arming and funding many armed insurgents groups inside india, from kashmir to nagaland
Massive leverage that can be used against india at any time
