Yeah a lot of these people are in Canada now. So much so that "Hakka food" here is synonymous with Indo-Chinese food.
I think they don't move to China mainly because of the immigration policies and the cultural drift. Most of them are 3rd generation by this point, they may not even speak their native language anymore (which was never Mandarin to begin with). Also, as per one of the other articles posted, many lack formal education as well.

US shoots down armed Turkish drone after it came too close to US troops in Syria​

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon said Thursday the U.S. military shot down an armed Turkish drone that came within 500 meters (yards) of American troops in northeastern Syria, in a rare use of force by one NATO member against another.

Air Force Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, called it a “regrettable incident” and said U.S. troops were forced to go to bunkers for safety as Turkey bombed targets nearby.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Turkish counterpart and stressed the importance of close coordination between their two countries to prevent any risk to American forces or to the global coalition’s mission to defeat Islamic State militants in the region, Ryder said.

“The decision was made out due diligence and the inherent right of self-defense to take appropriate action to protect U.S. forces,” Ryder said, adding that “we have no indication that Turkey was intentionally targeting U.S. forces.”

China needs to sell/donate some military goods to Syria, just to test our equipment.

IMF voting shares are not relevant enough for China to make concession.

Here is the thing, when Collin Coh agreed with H I Sutton in speculating that there could be an accident, I thought it was 20-30% credible since both the US and USSR have lost nuclear submarines.

No offense, but this one is on you.

When Collin Koh agreed with HI Sutton your response should have been to have even more skepticism to the "story".

Countries that think too much of their value in the world...

The U.S. should demand that China support debt restructuring for struggling poor and middle-income countries as a condition of changes to the International Monetary Fund's shareholding formula, a former senior U.S. Treasury development expert said on Wednesday.

This is pure extortion in bright day.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said China, the world's largest sovereign creditor, has been a roadblock to debt relief. U.S. officials have said China is unwilling to accept losses on loans unless private-sector creditors and multilateral development banks do the same.

How thick are the skins of these Americans that they even dare to ask China to bail out the western predators? The poorer countries own more to the western creditors than to China. And China's debts are generally with more favorable terms to the debtors.

These scumbags are trying to twist the fact that China is now in the position of strength for IMF at this juncture. Like everything tainted by the US dollars, IMF is becoming less relevant by the day as China's share in the world economy keeps growing.

Who still needs IMF when China and its trade partners start paying each other in home currencies? China should only pay for a larger share in IMF after the US gives up its veto.
