China ...granted permanent residency to 1,576 foreigners in 2016...
Not really. As you know China is huge and has over a billion people, more than any other country on Earth, surely more than enough laborers for every occasion one might think....but:
Internal migration in the People's Republic of China is one of the most extensive in the world according to the International Labour Organization.[1]....
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_in_China
...Of the 440 million increase, about 340 million was attributable to net migration and urban reclassification.
We are talking about many, many millions of people here, migrating from the land to the building cities for work.
And still, they are starting to import laborers...the numbers of foreign immigrants is rising...astounding, isn't it? And if China, with it's own abundance of people needs to import workers, how do you think ANY country can become and stay successful without them?
China smartly makes a distinction between skilledforeign workers and welfare immigrants.
Well...once you got a skilled foreigner for your company, he want's to get his family to live with him...wife and children...who need an education...and medical care...and he might not always keep his job.
They are people too!
