Parents' Distrust on Chinese Brainwashing Education Induce Over 10 Millions of Migrants to the US, Japan and Canada

Sino-US relations have deteriorated in recent years, but the number of Chinese immigrants continues to rise. The Center for China and Globalization (CCG) and Institute of Development of the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics released China International Migration Report 2020, a blue paper, this week. It states that China has accumulated 10.73 million immigrants, making it the world's third-largest immigrants exporter. The United States continues to be their first choice, having 2.89 million in accumulation up to last year. Moreover, immigrants population is getting younger, many of them came to the US to study as early as high school, while the proportion of "investment immigrants" has significantly declined. Some lawyers specializing in immigration services said that although many Chinese parents are resistant to "brainwashing education" in China, the US is also tightening visa restrictions for Chinese people.

For the top three countries they migrated, the order was the United States, Japan and Canada, having the same data as 2015.

Canadian Parliament Passes First Reading of Taiwan-Relations Bill to Strengthen Ties

Following the passage of a series of bills in the United States to enhance relations with Taiwan, the Canadian House of Commons recently passed the Canada-Taiwan Relations Framework Act on first reading by unanimous applause.

The bill, introduced by Conservative Representative Michael Cooper, provides a basis for normalizing Canada's relations with Taiwan and for Taiwan's international standing. The bill contains nine provisions covering legal designation, property, legal capacity, intergovernmental agreements and reciprocity, as well as providing for parliamentary oversight. Of greater interest is the renaming of the Taiwan government's representative office in Canada as the "Taiwan Representative Office", relaxing visa requirements for unofficial visits to Canada by Taiwanese officials, and allowing Canada to enter into agreements with Taiwan and treat the Taiwanese government as one of the foreign governments. Canada will also be concerned about the situation in the Taiwan Strait in accordance with the bill, and will view sanctions, embargoes and other non-peaceful means against Taiwan as a threat to the Asia Pacific region, and the Canadian government should speak out on this issue.
