Why do elites emigrate?

Reasons for emigration: China lacks a stable and fair judicial system.

The reasons leading to a large number of rich people emigrating overseas are complicated. The main reason is still focused on the safety of life and property and development prospects. At present, China society is far from meeting the needs of the rich or immigrants in these two aspects. Leaving this country is mostly a helpless choice When they can't see hope at home, immigration becomes an inevitable choice. The general reasons for immigration are as follows:

First, China lacks a stable and fair judicial system. In terms of constitutional justice, China has made slow progress. Although China wrote the protection of private property into the Constitution in 2004, and then promulgated the Property Law in 2008, vicious demolitions occurred one after another in China, and private property rights were not fully protected by the judiciary. At the same time, there is also a provision in the Constitution that the state can expropriate citizens' property for public interests, which has caused great legal ambiguity. What is the public interest? Who will define what is public interest? Should the government have the power to define? According to the definition of property rights economics, the ownership and protection of property rights have costs. Only when citizens realize that their property can be completely protected can they form expectations of property. On the contrary, in a society where theft is prevalent, citizens will think that it is difficult to protect their property, and they will be more inclined to a society that can bring them stable protection. The intensification of social contradictions, the increase of social emergencies, and the fear of a repeat of the Cultural Revolution all make the rich or private entrepreneurs' expectations for the future unstable, and their inner anxiety and anxiety prompt them to accelerate the pace of immigration. In other words, when social reforms stagnated or even regressed, they accelerated the pace of immigration.

Second, the unfair competition environment. In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, private enterprises have made great contributions to China's economic development, but they are still not treated fairly. At first, private enterprises had to bear a much heavier tax burden than state-owned enterprises, but they could not get the government's due support in policy. More seriously, the monopoly of the state-owned financial system has led to serious discrimination against private enterprises. Private enterprises, which account for 99% of the national enterprises, find it difficult to obtain loans from banks, which leads them to turn to private financing. When they do this, they will be accused by the government of "illegal fund-raising". When the financial crisis occurred, the national macro-control and monetary policy tightened, and private enterprises encountered great difficulties in financing, making it almost impossible for enterprises to continue. Finally, they turned to "usury" and fell into a greater predicament. When private entrepreneurs find business difficult, they turn to the real estate market, agricultural products market or energy market. But just like the coal industry, the government has dealt a ruthless blow to private capital, and with the increasingly serious inflation in China, private capital has to choose to go abroad to find a safe place.

Third, education is backward. The whole education system in China is rigid and backward, and the rich in China want to find better educational resources for their children. Their antipathy to China's education prompted them to go to western developed countries, where educational resources are abundant, and the educational system pays more attention to the cultivation of people and is more humane. For the sake of their children's future development, most rich people emigrate their children overseas and let them receive education locally by investing in immigration.

Finally, the worrying living environment. In recent years, various food safety issues have been reported in newspapers, causing public panic, and food safety incidents have continued. Clenbuterol, fake pork, melamine and gutter oil are well known to the public. While food travels safely, air pollution is becoming more and more serious. For example, air pollution in Beijing has always been controversial. In addition, the pressure of social life and work in China is increasing, the pressure of competition is increasing, the family relationship between people is indifferent, and some young white-collar workers die of overwork. When wealth has accumulated to a certain extent, the rich have begun to seek to improve their quality of life, which includes not only material aspects, but also spiritual aspects. The pursuit of spiritual and spiritual peace urges them to yearn for the life of emigrating overseas.
