How many people emigrated?

So-called? Back to China? In fact, it is mainly China citizens or overseas Chinese who are stranded overseas because of the epidemic, not China people. About what? A large number of China people returned to Japan and the United States? In fact, the statement is wrong, which is itself a conceptual error and does not conform to the facts.

Here, we need to give a detailed explanation to China citizens, overseas Chinese and China people. First of all, China citizens include China tourists and overseas Chinese. The difference between them lies in whether they have the right of abode in a foreign country. For example, a citizen of China who has obtained a green card in the United States and has worked and lived in the United States for a long time, but still has China nationality and has not been naturalized in the United States, is an overseas Chinese. Those who travel to the United States on visas and business are ordinary travelers. Chinese refers to the first generation immigrants who have joined other countries' nationality or the descendants of China immigrants who immigrated in their early years. They have no China nationality and need an entry visa to enter China.

At the beginning of the year, during the Spring Festival, many China people choose to travel overseas and visit relatives. However, at that time, the domestic epidemic had already broken out, and countries tightened flights to China and imposed visa restrictions. Later, with the development and spread of the epidemic, it has entered a state of global epidemic, and international air traffic control and visa restrictions have become more and more strict. It is difficult to return to China. There are few flights, one ticket is hard to find, and the fare is several times or even ten times that of usual. So many people stay abroad.

The epidemic situation in China is very well controlled. Except for sporadic epidemics in some areas, relevant economic and social activities have returned to normal. However, the epidemic control in other countries is not ideal. Some countries are even out of control and have not stabilized. This is the case in the United States, and the epidemic in Japan has now rebounded. Many stranded China citizens also hope to return to China as soon as possible, on the one hand for health reasons, and on the other hand for livelihood reasons. After all, too much work has been delayed. Because of the epidemic control, the livelihood of overseas Chinese has been affected, and they choose to return to China for both commercial and health reasons.

In order to prevent the epidemic from being imported, China has suspended the entry of foreigners with valid visas or residence permits since March 28th. China people cannot enter China because they have no citizenship. At present, the immigration control in China is also being adjusted. In the nearest European countries, foreign citizens with legal residence status (residence permit for work, private affairs and reunion) in China can apply for visas to China from any embassy or consulate of China in these countries free of charge. There are not many such people, including a considerable proportion of Chinese. But Japan and the United States are not among them.

At present, the global epidemic situation is still very serious, and cases are imported almost every day. So we still can't let our guard down. However, appropriate adjustments should be made according to the situation to provide convenience for the citizens of the country whose epidemic situation has been controlled, which is conducive to strengthening personnel exchanges and promoting the resumption of work and production and economic and social development. After all, an open China needs the support of all countries.
