Has the European refugee crisis passed?

This year, the international situation is unpredictable and the uncertainty of the world has greatly increased. The world economy in the post-crisis era is slowly recovering, but it is still unstable. The rise of beggar-thy-neighbour protectionism has cast a shadow over economic growth and international cooperation. The causes of the European refugee crisis still exist. In the future, it is not impossible to see another wave of refugees. In addition, the increasing number of refugees has brought increasing financial pressure to European countries.

European society reacted strongly to the influx of refugees, and anti-immigrant populist parties or movements rose in various countries. This has shown that this year's European refugee crisis has changed from the massive influx in the past two years to the accumulation of social structural contradictions. The impact of this crisis on the future of European countries is certainly long-term. For Europe, eliminating the war and poverty that caused refugees is of course the fundamental way to eliminate the refugee crisis.

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, believes that the only correct way for European countries to solve the refugee problem is to provide more overseas aid funds to the countries of origin of refugees. Otherwise, "German-style" open refugee reception will only increase the possibility that African refugees will continue to sneak into Europe. But the question is, even if European countries provide more assistance to the countries of origin of refugees, can these countries solve the local economic development problems in a short time and reduce the impulse of refugees to flood into Europe?

The answer is no, of course. Germany also tried to distribute refugees through "quotas" among EU member States, but this was opposed by most countries. At present, Central and Eastern European countries Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia have made it clear that they will no longer accept refugees, even if they are sanctioned by the EU. The quota system adopted by the European Union for refugees aims at effectively absorbing asylum seekers who have been in Europe for a short time. Opponents of the quota system believe that the implementation of the quota system is likely to aggravate the refugee flow.
