The number of immigrants to the United States in the late Qing Dynasty

Anyone who travels around the world will meet many people who are familiar with China, many of whom are China people who emigrate overseas to make a living. Due to the huge population base in China, the number of overseas Chinese is in the forefront.

Overseas Chinese live in the United States with the largest number. In the United States, it experienced the American gold rush in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the modern war period and the reform and opening up period, and it was also an important gathering place for overseas Chinese. At present, there are 3.4 million Chinese in the United States, accounting for 22.4% of Asians, accounting for about 1% of the total population of the United States. Of course, the group of Chinese who have not yet obtained American citizenship will not be this number.

Especially after World War II, the United States became a developed country in the world, with strong economy, top talents and first-class management technology. Many China people choose to emigrate to the United States for development, eager to live a rich life. Many China people have obtained green cards and the right to settle in the United States through their own efforts. However, due to the increasing threshold of green card in the United States in recent years, few China people have the opportunity to obtain a green card and cannot become American citizens. At the same time, in the process of applying for American citizenship, some China people have to give up their original China citizenship. Among the immigrants, some go to the United States to make a living because of their poor family economic situation and poor livelihood, and some want to improve their quality of life. However, these Chinese have lived in the United States for many years, and they also understand the hardships of living in the United States. They have not improved their family economic situation and have been living in riff-raff in the United States.

Especially after Trump became the president of the United States, coupled with the escalating friction between China and the United States this year, he began to crack down on Chinese. China people have been treated unfairly in the United States. Coupled with the serious epidemic in the United States, Trump began to repatriate Chinese. Although China people live in China, they still have to leave according to the relevant law enforcement! In addition, some China people who live at the bottom of the United States also obtained American citizenship through illegal means. The United States is now investigating this phenomenon and specifically rectifying these immigrants who have illegally obtained nationality.

At present, at least about 200,000 Chinese in the United States have been repatriated, but these Chinese have neither China nationality nor American nationality, and they have become stateless. The situation is embarrassing!

In fact, after years of development, China has become the second largest economy in the world, and our nationality has become one of the most difficult to obtain in the world. This is a very difficult thing. China people are still tolerant of China people who have no American citizenship. China stipulates that if China's family members are in China and want to come back, they can rejoin the motherland. For some people who were repatriated by the United States but did not acquire American citizenship, China listed the policy of allowing China citizenship to be restored. This fully proves that our country's tolerant attitude towards overseas Chinese will always be the best support for Chinese in times of crisis. After all, the motherland is the strongest backing of Chinese!
