certain places in tiongland now are more modern, livable and comfortable than in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s. serious transformation of china happened from 2000 to 2008, just before the olympics. chinese diaspora will find china resorts and copycat small towns of the west which are away from polluted megacities more appealing now than 6 decades ago when the prc made their proclamation for overseas chinese to return to motherland like prodigal children. imagine overseas chinese then returning to a china that was poverty-stricken, decades backward, and constantly undergoing class struggles, ideological chaos, upheaval and disasters. the irony was that the ccp was extremely suspicious of overseas chinese, especially when hordes of the wealthy were donating to the nationalist kmt in their fight against the commies after ww2, during the civil war, and after kmt retreat to taiwan. the 2nd irony was that during the bandung declaration, the prc acknowledged that overseas chinese rightfully should be citizens of their respective "home" cuntries (of adoption). the 3rd irony is that the prc constitution today does not recognize any chinese, overseas or native tiongs, with dual citizenship. they will revoke prc citizenship if there's evidence that a tiong (or overseas chinese who has naturalized in china) has another nationality. it's a fucked up cuntry full of ironies and contradiction. how to trust and believe a compulsive liar and get suckered in by lofty laws and claims? only fools do.
Actually you are the one full of contridictions.
How long ago were those events that you mentioned? KMT retreating to taiwan etc etc?
Also on your 2nd and 3rd irony well why are they ironies? Let me quote the constiution again
"China's Articles 50 and 89 (12) of the People's Republic of China Constitution
Articles 50 and 89 (12) of the People's Republic of China Constitution enshrines the Law of Return for ALL ethnic Chinese who have emigrated abroad, even those who did so before the proclamation of the Republic, and covers ALL their descendants born in other countries and holding other nationalities and who have never stepped foot in China before. In the unlikely event that a definable community of ethnic Chinese outside China is threatened with racial violence or genocide, China would provide all assistance to the oppressed community, whether in the form of diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, or limited military action to secure the safety and effect the evacuation of the said community whose members are all welcomed to return to China to settle there as full citizens with special constitutional privileges granted only to returnees. China's Law of Return.
Do you understand the word "welcomed"? That means it is the choice of an overseas chinese he is welcomed to return should he wish to china and become a citizen. Therefore your second irony doesn't even make sense. Let's assume china made the declaration during the bandung conference about overseas should be forced to return to china instead of being citizens of their respective home countries well guess what. You would be here bitching about it too. The fact of the matter is this. An overseas chinese can become a chinese citizen should he
wish to. Hey he can become a citizen of norway should he wish to.
On your 3rd irony on china not allowing dual citizenship. Well what's the problem? Their rules. Singapore doesn't allow dual citizenship either.
You should learn to stick to the topic instead of diverging away posting on totally unrelated crap. I suppose you need me to post the consitution again and remind you on what one's freedom of choice is and what this topic is all about.
Here's part of the consitution again.
"In the unlikely event that a definable community of ethnic Chinese outside China is threatened with racial violence or genocide, China would provide all assistance to the oppressed community, whether in the form of diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, or limited military action to secure the safety and effect the evacuation of the said community whose members
are all welcomed to return to China to settle there as full citizens with special constitutional privileges granted only to returnees. China's Law of Return."
China is willing to protect overseas chinese due to the fact that they have the same culture and race this does not extend to a non chinese. It means that they are willing to help chinese that aren't even citizens of their own country but due to the fact that they have the same ancestry and mind you japan also does that.
Have you heard of Alberto_Fujimori?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Fujimori
Former president of peru of japanese descent who fled peru. Here are the key factors. Born in peru that is why he can be president. Fled to japan and accepted in japan because he is japanese and managed to secure japanese citizenship because he is japanese. Let's assume were fujimori to be non japanese would he be allowed become a japanese citizen?
All your other talk about overseas chinese returning to a then poverty stricken china etc is totally irrelevant. I am sure overseas chinese were aware of that but wanted to return to china because it is their motherland. Same as black ppl in the west who return to africa and i am sure they know it is poorer than the western countries that they reside in.
I doubt it is easy for a non chinese to get chinese citizenship if not you would be seeing hordes of ang mohs, africans, middle easterners etc becoming citizens of china but for an overseas chinese it is much easier.
Anyway the issue is on you being offended by this. Why would you be offended? China offers a place of refuge for overseas chinese who are not of chinese citizenship that would be a good thing. Imagine african countries doing that for their black dispora and they actually have done that but it isn't like the chinese laws. Back to the issue why are you offended? Seriously even if you were being persecuted at your place china would be the last place where you would seek refuge you would probably rather go to some african country. The issue is you being offended by this and it is pretty easy to see why. You are a chinese uncle tom who kisses white ass. That's fine. You possibly hate/dislike other chinese people especially tiongs but what really pisses you off is that there are chinese who are willing to help other chinese due to their racial ties. Oh that really bothers you because you have totally cut that off and yet you somehow need to piss on other chinese who don't think like you. Crab in a bucket syndrome displayed by chinese uncle toms. Hates other chinese people and hopes and gets jealous when other chinese don't hate their own.
