You know back before Obama, Coke ads were in English and Super Bowl QBs were white. Now to top it off we are faced with a flat out invasion from China. And what is he doing about it? Nothing:
"China’s wealthiest citizens are increasingly seeking a better life abroad. The United States is their favored destination. "
Wait what? Why would anyone want to move to this oppressive socialist Muslim run country? More below the orange blossom.
Turns out that China might not be quite the businessman paradise TeaPublicans make it out to be. How else can you explain this:
According to the report, 64 percent of wealthy Chinese (those with $1.6 million or more) have emigrated or are planning to do so. Hurun also found that a third of the super-rich (those with $16 million or more) have established homes elsewhere.
But wait I thought China was a perfect place for those "makers" who hate government.
Even more striking is the surge in wealthy Chinese getting green cards. In 2010, 772 Chinese received investor green cards (given to people who invest at least $1 million in businesses in the US). In 2012, that figure leapt nearly eightfold to 6,124.
Hmmm...so you can BUY your way into the US? And its pretty cheep really. Note you only have to "invest" in a US business. Oh what a sacrifice to buy a million dollars in US stocks. Still seems crazy to leave someplace where a million goes a long way.
Why the exodus among families who have benefited most from China’s rise?
Aside from education, another obvious motivator is pollution. China’s toxic air and poisonous water are regular topics of complaint among the wealthy (as well as ordinary Chinese).
Read that again - they are leaving because the AIR IS TOXIC. So in other words they trashed their country and are now skipping town. But that cant be the ONLY reason. i mean you can always just move to the country.
A less obvious factor is the crackdown on corruption.
Over the last year, Chairman Xi Jinping has overseen investigations into some of China’s wealthiest and most powerful party figures, including those who have profited massively from the state-owned oil industry. He has vowed to take down both “tigers” (top bosses) and “flies” (local officials).
In January, Xi stepped up his campaign by forbidding the promotion of officials who have spouses or children living abroad. These so-called “naked” officials are seen as especially prone to corruption.
So instead of your poor, hungry, huddled masses we now get your rich, corrupt polluters. Good to see the Chinese leadership is cracking down on all that......
In fact, Xi himself was one, too. His daughter attended Harvard under an assumed name, and the chairman’s extended family has allegedly amassed assets worth several hundred million dollars.
Be proud Harvard, be proud. Preferred institute of higher learning for rich, corrupt hypocrites. Crazy how much flak Harvard takes from TeaPublicans when it seems to be just their kind of place.
So to review - Chinese businessmen are leaving China to go to the US because CHINA is too tough on corruption for their tastes.
And they are leaving because their businesses have destroyed the country to the point where BREATHING is life threatening.
And they are sending their "maker" kids to US universities where they will no doubt be exposed to terrible liberal ideas.
How many rich TeaPublicans moved to China last year?
