The influx of new rich immigrants: the elite migratory bird life

Li Juan "How can we emigrate to Australia?"　　"They are a circle of friends, just two couples, the most want to go to the place is Australia, there are no children." One of the couple had a very clear idea that they wanted to be born in Australia, "when they were married, they went to Australia and were attracted by the Australian environment and wanted to emigrate." Wang Tao, the husband and wife, told the counselor, "their lives are like life, our lives are called alive."　　"The idea of immigration is out of hand, and there are many immigrant friends around the couple who are more or less suggestive."　　The upsurge of immigrants in these two years seems to be blowing in the search engine ads, the "immigrant" the keyword hit the highest hawking record, the first home page ads, the point in a advertisers pay up to 80 yuan. However, Li Xiaoli, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, argues that "there is no" third wave of immigrants.　　She is one of the authors of the global political and security report in recent years. June 16 This year, the State Council office announced that the number of Chinese diaspora has exceeded 45 million, the absolute number of the world's first. The process of global integration has contributed to the migration of the international population. In quantitative terms, China has become the world's largest immigrant exporter.　　This phenomenon is regarded as the "collective exodus" of elite groups represented by the new rich class, and is dubbed the "third migration Tide".　　Although immigration does increase, Li Xiaoli that the proportion of Chinese immigrants in the world is low, the "immigration" summed up as a "tide" is only hype. Wenzhou holding regiment to flee July 18, Beijing, a U.S. investment immigration program official statement on the meeting, and even played such an advertisement: "Investment 500,000 U.S. dollars, the family fast green card!" "Probably from last year, I found that a lot of my friends are starting to emigrate," he said.　　"Wenzhou businessman Wang Fu Zheng is going to Singapore once, this June, he also began to do immigration formalities, the destination is Singapore." The reason for Wang Fu Zheng's choice of Singapore is simple, Mandarin is one of the official languages of the locality. "1.5 million yuan (equivalent to 7.5 million RMB) is available in 5 years on the Investment fund approved by the Government of Singapore. "Singapore, Europe and other places are more like immigrants, Wenzhou," South Zhejiang, a lot of overseas Chinese, like Wenzhou, many of the Chinese people live in Italy, Spain, Germany and other countries.　　"Wenzhou SME Association president Dewen said that from the second half of last year, many people in Wenzhou to do immigration, mainly because of the restrictions on investment channels, immigrants in Europe mainly in Wenzhou people in business, tourism and trade has dealings." Wenzhou more is "hug the regiment type" the way, Italy a small town has 30,000 Zhejiang people to fight. "Once at dinner, I found that half of the people at the table were running or had emigrated.　　Wang Fu Zheng says it's a big reason he wants to emigrate.　　These rich property, to invest in immigrants mainly wealthy, by the industry known as "commercial migration." "Many times aPeople do, will bring more than 10 of friends come to do.　　Wang Yu, general manager of Zhejiang New Pass, said that this January-May, the company's effective customer consultation volume of more than 1500 people, last year, the number of the office this year are more. "Migratory birds" life, we are in the skilled migration to Australia, love to read, I may have half a year in Australia, half the time in Hangzhou.　　"Yao Pioneer, who runs an advertising agency in Hangzhou, told the first financial daily," said the reporter. Yao Pioneer went to Australia in May 2009 and started immigration formalities after coming back.　　In his view, Australia and Hangzhou are close, China's Hangzhou is Melbourne.　　He is also unwilling to give up his environment, a tearing state that is the most frequent immigrant of the new Age. "Singapore immigrants, China and Singapore will both run around."　　Wang Fu Zheng said he was largely for the convenience of a visa and did not consider completely moving past.　　This is the greatest feature of new age immigrants, migrating like migratory birds, without a complete end. Unlike in the past, the older generation of immigrants has to be relatively stable, "before the transfer of money back to the remittance, now is the first remittance of money and then emigration."　　"This is largely related to professional characteristics," says Wang Fu Zheng. In Wenzhou, for example, the early settlers in Wenzhou were mostly in the wood industry, in addition to the leather, printing, barber and construction industries.　　From the 1993 "Singapore Wenzhou Guild 70 Anniversary Special Edition" of the member Address book, found that 867 members, engaged in carpentry members and 15.45%. This identity has now been basically replaced by businessmen, "now the immigrants are entrepreneurs, basically for business convenience to do immigration, many are for transit convenience." Dewen said, "The proportion of real home relocation is very small." "This is more of a migratory bird type of life, there are many people do not really say goodbye to the motherland is to leave a road," after all, rooted in the domestic, in case of foreign economic environment is not good or political change, or can return to the country.　　Yiuxian said he would prefer to think of immigration Australia as a "holiday", with 35 months in Australia each year and other time earning money at home.　　The 2007 Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Survey of migrants found that 15% of immigrants in Canada returned to China within a year of immigration status.　　Elite immigrant?　　Immigrants in the new era, the title of high education, High-tech, high cost characteristics, that is, the "elite" of the new immigrant groups, this so-called "elite" is highly concerned about. Behind this, there is a set of data worth pondering. 2008, The average education age over 15 years of age in China exceeds 8.7 years, one year higher than the world average; the average number of years of education in the new labor force is 11 year; the numbers of college students per million increased from 72.3 in 2000 to 212.8 in 2009, with the total population of more than 70 million people in the university and above, ranked second in the world. InChina has developed from a populous country into a great human resource and is moving towards a powerful human resource.　　If wealth depends on the elite, China's rich money bag is constantly magnified, 1999 Forbes rich List of China's richest man is 1.9 billion U.S. dollars, 2009, Mr Wang 39.6 billion became the new richest man. "Given that educated people are defined as intellectual elites, the proportion of China's intellectual elite is rapidly expanding, and the proportion of intellectual elites in migration is sure to rise." Similarly, so is the economic elite. It is a big problem to generalize the ' elite ' to the characteristics of the new immigrant group, and there is no comprehensive, macroscopic and in-depth investigation on the whole thing.　　"said Hu Weilio, a researcher at the Institute of Population and Labor economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.　　The exaggerated negative effects are understood, after China's reform and opening-up, overseas immigrants, students and knowledge-based personnel accounted for a large proportion, it is estimated that more than 300,000 Chinese professionals overseas, many of them are well-educated elite, some of the university students 76% emigrated to the United States. "It's a normal choice for people to go higher," he said.　　Hu Weilio said that some disciplines abroad in the development of soil at present better, so many people are willing to go abroad to engage in scientific research, in the long run, this is China's economic development process in a certain stage, the flow of talent elements is the prerequisite for economic development. According to a survey by the Ministry of Education, from 2004 to 2007, 51.3% of overseas students who had obtained doctoral degrees abroad were engaged in teaching and scientific research; Since 2003, the universities that implemented "985 projects" have introduced nearly 4,000 outstanding talents from overseas,　　The equivalent of nearly 400 associate professors in overseas universities. Behind the worries are the loss of the economy, and many media outlets say that immigration will lead to the loss of billions of dollars.　　In fact, in 2004, according to the World Bank, the World's international migrant remittances amounted to $225.8 billion trillion, of which China received 21.3 billion U.S. dollars in migrant remittances, the world's second largest. "The University of Hong Kong has a method of calculating the proportion of the population of immigrants and the population of the whole country, so that the proportion of Chinese immigrants is very small."　　Li Xiaoli said that many countries have seen the phenomenon of "immigration", but can not be regarded as a complete negative effect of immigration.　　By contrast, China's economy is also roaring ahead, and China has an indispensable role in pushing the world economy to revive and shape the new international economic order and financial situation. What has to be seen is that China is playing the dual role of immigration input and sending exporters.　　2004, the American Yang got the first Chinese green card, since then, the number has climbed, of which, from August 15, 2004 to August 15, 2007, the application for permanent residency in China 1460 people, of whom 686 of the applications were approved. Among them, the top five countries with the largest number of applicants are the United States, Japan, Singapore, Canada and South Korea, mainly in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and other economically developed areas. Immigration is only a manifestation of the increasing frequency of world economic, social and cultural exchanges.
