When did China start to immigrate to Europe?

In the early 1980s, China people began to immigrate to Europe on a large scale, while China people immigrated to the whole world. In the early 1980s, as China began to get rid of the closed state for more than 30 years, Americans began to flock to some traditional immigrant places, such as North China. In the last 10 year of the 20th century, 460,000 China people from the mainland settled in the United States, which doubled the number of Chinese mainland immigrants in the United States. At present, China has become Canada's largest source of immigrants. Between 2000 and 2002, about 30,000-40,000 China people immigrated to Canada every year. At the same time, immigrants from China began to flock to some countries and regions with non-traditional immigrant destinations. From Siberia to South China and many other places in between, Americans have settled everywhere. In the past 10 years, the number of immigrants from China pouring into Europe has greatly increased. According to a report published by the International Organization for Migration last year, during the period of 10 before 20065438, the number of immigrants from China increased sixfold, reaching 36,000. During the same period, Italian immigrants from China increased by 260% to nearly 50,000. In less than 10 years, the number of immigrants from China has almost increased from zero to 40,000, accounting for 1% of the total population of the country. At present, there are about 30,000 Hungarians in China. Last year, 75,000 Germans lived in China and 42,000 Germans lived in France. For China with a population of 654.38+0.3 billion, these immigrants are undoubtedly just a drop in the ocean. However, they also have an impact on the recipient countries that cannot be ignored. For example, in Ireland and China, most people hold study visas, but most people seem to be working. With the development of Irish economy, local people working in bars, shops and gas stations found better jobs, so China people took their place. Mary hart, Irish Deputy Prime Minister, said that in this country where the concept of immigration has not yet taken shape, China people are regarded as people who come to work hard, and they take things very seriously. "Globalist" New Immigrants Nowadays, immigrants in China are full-fledged globalists, who have completely divorced from the traditional idea that the government, work units and families arrange their own lives. They are independent, skilled and like to move. In fact, some of them seem to accept the idea that Europe is a borderless unity faster than many Europeans. This generation of China immigrants will skillfully use the convenience brought by the Internet, mobile phones and cheap air tickets, and they are as sophisticated as their peers anywhere else in the world. Pang Lixin, a 35-year-old auditor, said: "This is the so-called globalization, and this is the reality of today's world. Either you adapt or you are eliminated. " Pang Lixin came to Ireland as a student on 1998, and later stayed in school to work. According to the data of the Ministry of Education of China, the number of China students studying abroad has also shown an upward trend in recent years. Since 1978, 700,000 China students have gone abroad, and about 3/4 of them have chosen to stay. But recently, more and more people have begun to return to China. The influence of these new immigrants from China is not only related to the receiving countries, but also spread to China. At present, many leading figures in China's high-tech, real estate and publishing industries have studied abroad in the 1990s. With the government relaxing the restrictions on citizens applying for passports, there has been a craze for going abroad in the past few years. In 2003, the number of people going abroad for personal reasons in China reached140,000. The World Tourism Organization predicts that by 2020, the number of overseas tourists in China will reach 654.38 billion. "There are too many people in China." China people are not confined to those distant developed countries. They have also begun to settle in neighboring underdeveloped countries, and even in some cases, some sparsely populated countries are worried that the foreign population will exceed their own population. Mongolia, with a population of only 2.7 million, recently promulgated a law stipulating that the number of residents born abroad should not exceed 1% of the total population. Obviously, this move is totally aimed at China. In the Russian Far East, with a large number of Russian businessmen and farmers settling in border cities and villages, local populist politicians have expressed great concern about this colonial phenomenon in China. Kazakhstan has imposed strict quota restrictions on foreign workers. However, China's well-trained low-paid workers are still attractive to them. Li Wanxiang, director of the Labor and Social Security Bureau of Horgos, Xinjiang, said that Kazakhs are very conservative, but they are also very dependent. They need China's help in agriculture, construction and other fields. As more and more China people go abroad for gold, they seem to have brought some bad habits abroad. Many China businessmen in Europe complain that, similar to the situation at home, China businessmen bargain with each other abroad, resulting in a decline in prices and profits. Part of the reason for this phenomenon is that most people in China are concentrated in the catering and clothing industries. From a window in the center of Asia, the signs of competition can be seen at a glance: a stone's throw away from the center of Asia, the China Commercial City with 1 60 shops built by Chinese businessmen can be vividly seen. The biggest competitor is our compatriots-even in Hungary, many people in China often talk about a complaint that they often hear in China: "There are too many people in China."
