Why doesn’t China, as a large world economy, have the same obligations to refugees as the west?

Somebody had to ask it

As always, personal attacks and flames will come down, let’s have a good clean debate, good luck!

For some reason “diversity” and “multiculturalism” only get talked about in Western countries. I mean if these things were so great wouldn’t all countries want more immigrants from across the world to come pouring across their borders?

[notwoke]

because their government is not intent on having the third world take over their country

Chinese is a very hard language to learn and most people cannot learn it because it's an accent based language and most people cannot correct their native accents. It also uses independent images for each word as opposed to other languages which are written with letters so looking new words up in the dictionary is impossible when you don't know how something is pronounced from the way it is written and if you can't read ordinary signs such as road signs or emergency exit signs, you are a danger to both yourself and others.

[Sixgunsound]

Does Chinese at least make sense with internally consistent grammar and usage? English is three languages stacked on top of each other where it’s somewhat difficult to tell which rules you’re playing by unless you grew up in it.

[jennifer_bloom]

Chinese has a consistent grammar and usage but its characters are indecipherable for those who do not know how to read it and its pronunciation is very hard for foreigners. It's also a poor country that many do not want to immigrate to, unlike America or Britain which has many immigrants.

Ukrainian and Syrian choose Europe of course.

China saved Jew in the past but now treat them like shit when go to USA

There are many Africans too.

I know you did not see it.

I was surprised that there are full of black in a street.

[Sixgunsound]

I do recall seeing a video about how Japan saved thousands of Jews by writing transit papers to Russia from Germany and German controlled parts of Europe.

China is big, but they are not fools, did you saw how they deal with islamic threats?

[Sixgunsound]

As I recall China’s PLA invaded their territory and put Muslims in slave camps until they started cutting them up for spare parts in organ harvesting mills.

[Berethor]

China consider it China's territory, and it started with Uyghur terror as far as know.

China being in the east aren't into the same international trade, economical or cultural unions as the west. Therefore as a member of these unions the west has to take in refugees and China doesn't. Also the human rights abuses in ww2 made it that there where a lot laws to the fair treatment of refugees or prisoners of war in the west. In ww2 China got destroyed by imperial Japan , so China slid out having to sign these laws. Modern China's government is known to be brutal and authoritarian , so the west isn't going to push to send refugee there.

[NathanDavis]

well... China does not pretend to be righteous and all that, as much as The West

The West has always painted itself as the saviours and protectors of civility and human rights... so, taking in refugees just aligns with that propaganda

China has never been selling you that

so, that's consistency... lol

[JDavid25]

Well China is not as charitable as the U. S, I mean they are just recently coming into some sort of prosperity as a nation, even though many people still live in poverty over there.. People in the West seem to be under the self righteous assumption that everything should be handed out to everybody freely, and that everything is some sort of right.. Plus people are free (for now) to express themselves out loud as they please for the most part..

[UCrayCray]

Well, they don’t have an internationally recognized statue with these words on it, for starters.

[Sixgunsound]

If people coming to America behaved in the 2020’s like they did in the era that was written fine, but you know very well attitudes have changed.

[Agagagagaga]

That goddamn statue has done more harm for America and it’s immigration control than any politician.

I don’t give a goddamn what a statue from France that had to be paid for by donations and charity has to say about immigration. And besides, those same immigrants who PAID for the goddamn statue all came in through Ellis Island, a single authorized port of entry. They followed the legal process!

What do we do now?

Let them walk across the border and enter illegally. And if you say “Whoa, hold on there, can’t you do this legally? You know, actually fill out some paperwork and become a citizen legally?” What do we get?

OMG YOU GODDAMN RACIST NAZI! How dare you!

My family fought for this country in the American Revolution. What the fuck did any of you do to deserve to be here? Nothing.

[Sixgunsound]

@Agagagagaga I’m descended from a Mayflower passenger on my father’s side. I submit my DD214 for what I personally have done to deserve to be here.

[Agagagagaga]

That’s badass man. Thank you for your service.

[Bratsondanielle]

We could fly all the Mexican etc there. Great idea!!!

[AngryCarl]

As far as I know China is only bound by its own Constitution.

[KrakenAttackin]

Because China would laugh at the demand and the world knows it.

[In_Trance]

What obligation does anyone have?

[Sixgunsound]

Nobody does, you are correct, but a certain segment of the western population seems to think that western countries owe non-western people something for existing. I exist, where are my handouts?

[jimmy2]

China lock up all their Muslim there in camps

[notwoke]

great idea
