What does it mean for China to join the International Organization for Migration?

The International Organization for Migration was established in 195 1. Its original name was "Intergovernmental Committee on Migration in Europe (ICEM)", and it was changed to its current name in 1989. After 65 years of development, the World Organization for Migration has now become the most important intergovernmental international organization in the field of international migration.

Judging from international migration, China was once the main source country of international migration. With the rapid development of economy and the expansion of foreign exchanges, China is no longer a traditional country of emigration, and more and more foreigners are entering China. They have diverse backgrounds, different entry purposes and strong mobility.

Due to the rapid increase in the number of foreigners entering China and some deficiencies in the management mechanism of foreigners in China, the problems of "three non-"foreigners (illegal entry, illegal residence and illegal employment) are prominent.

On the other hand, with the rapid development of urbanization in China, world cities have become the construction targets of big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. According to the definition of world city, having a certain proportion of foreign population is one of the important criteria to measure whether a city is international. How to attract international talents and promote the integration of immigrants has also become an important work content in the process of building big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou into world cities or international metropolises.
