What do foreigners in Vancouver think of China's immigration to Canada?

Here, behind closed doors, we say: I think the national inferiority complex originated from the opium war, the last stage of the weak Manchu dynasty, which made this huge nation a vassal of the imperialist powers-years of war, famine, division and bullying by the powers. More than a century has passed, and we have fallen behind others again and again. By the end of the Cultural Revolution, China was almost expelled from the ball. If reform and opening-up are not initiated, what will be the fate of one billion China people today?

Domestic people have just become rich, and there is a gap between the rich and the poor. It is an inevitable process to hate the rich, compare with others and show off their wealth. However, the national inferiority complex in the "collective unconsciousness" accumulated for more than a century is still deeply rooted. On the one hand, some people blindly worship foreigners, for example, some Shanghai women claim that "we live for foreigners". On the other hand, some people still look up to foreigners from their bones under the banner of patriotism. For example, there is a sister in Shanghai who insists on how China can surpass developed countries and how China people can improve their quality, but her apartment for the elderly is still rented out to foreigners. Another friend in Beijing is also a staunch defender of great nationalism, but the company just spent nearly 10,000 yuan to hire a useless foreigner just to use Yang Azhang's face as a facade.

This is the sadness of this country. We are not as good as people, and we don't want to admit it, but we have to be convinced. At the same time, everyone is complaining about this society, everyone is denouncing the quality of the people, and there is quite a feeling of hating iron and not turning into steel. In this process, very few people have become out-and-out "traitors" and are willing to be foreign slaves, which is really hateful. For example, few people in China told me that "white people are superior races, better than China races." This is too "traitor", and I absolutely oppose it. Many people in China are very cautious when they go to developed countries, and they are very sensitive and uneasy about whether they are "discriminated".

Rick in Vancouver likes China people very much. He thinks that white people are jealous of China people in Vancouver. He recalled Vancouver in the 1980s, when it was sparsely populated and had rural characteristics. Today, Vancouver is a metropolis with many tall buildings, which is entirely due to the influx of immigrants from China. As Canada is a legal country with saturated market and sound laws, it is also a country with high welfare and high taxes, so generally speaking, although whites have a high quality of life, they don't have much spare money. When they see immigrants from China coming, they buy real estate, luxury cars and send their children to famous schools. This is really unfair. Many properties here are owned by China people. A Shanghainese later moved to Hong Kong. There are 65,438+06 houses in Vancouver's downtown area. Living on rent can be very nourishing, while white Canadians pay rent for the hard work of this China.

Travis is a young man from the east coast of Canada. He said that Vancouver has become less "Canadian" because of the influx of Asian immigrants. The reason is that his hometown is all white. Strangers greet each other and smile at each other. Neighbors are also very close. But on the streets of Vancouver, people are looking at each other with a serious face. When you smile at a stranger, he or she will look away to avoid your attention. He believes that China people have brought this phenomenon, while China people are obviously wary of strangers.

Gordon is a young man who was born in the Greater Vancouver area and works in Vancouver General Hospital. His impression of China people is quite typical. He thinks that people in China are smart and suitable for learning, but he also said that perhaps because they pay too much attention to academics and ignore the beauty of life, people in China are very emotional and aesthetic. Although they drive a good car, it is full of ugly pendants. He even said, "Look at what's hanging on their good cars!"

Coincidentally, Teresa, a female foreigner in Toronto, quietly asked me, "I heard that people in China are very rich. Why are their families so poor?" Indeed, if you look at a street full of conjoined villas, the doorways of foreigners are clean and elegant, while the doorways of China are full of sundries. Theresa thinks that maybe China people have saved all their money instead of improving their living environment.

Rumi is a young man who lives in Vancouver. He thinks that China immigrants have made Vancouver more secular and vain. He said that before Canadians failed to live up to expectations, no one would envy anyone who lived in a good house and drove a good car, but since the influx of immigrants from China, people began to talk about good cars and good houses.
