China Express….. China Express….. especially when you are traveling inside Ukraine – Don’t leave home without it

Regrets gave up your Chinese Citizenship now face Asian Hates promoted by racists US Politicians? Real recognition of dual nationality? China launches “Overseas Chinese Card” 後悔放棄中國公民身份現在面臨種族主義美國政客宣揚的亞洲仇恨？真实承认双重国籍？ 中国开通“华裔卡”

1 年前 · 来自专栏 移民法则和生活方式
中国政府预备对原籍中国、已入籍海外国家的华人发放“华裔卡”，持卡者可享中国永久居留权及本土居民待遇。

华裔卡，即向因移民海外其他国家的祖籍国为中国者提供的一种身份证明。但，华裔卡不代表双重国籍。华裔卡虽不等同中国承认双重国籍，但被形容为“真实承认双重国籍”。

海外移民呼吁很久的双重国籍，貌似变相出台了?

双重国籍的那些事儿

大家都知道，中国是不承认双重国籍的，但是很多移民海外的同学们都有着中国情结~即便是因为在海外生活和居住方便而加入外国国籍，大部分海外华人都还是希望能够拥有中国国籍。

这不，好消息就来了。根据中国公安部新闻发布会表示，“华裔卡”将在中关村试点，“华裔卡”会把你加入他国国籍后失去的在中国的权利基本上都还给你了!!!

谁是海外华人

根据中国官方定义，海外华人的定义是已经取得外国公民身份的中国人，或父母亲是中国人的海外华人，不论双亲目前是或之前是中国公民。

而“华裔卡”的申请人的双亲只需一人是中国人，或祖父母和祖上是或者曾经是中国公民，且并没有规定多少代的海外华人后人设定限制。

那么，能不能这么简单理解，只要外籍人士，祖上是或曾经是中国公民，有中国血统就可以了？这个条件相当的宽泛啊！简直是太好了！

中国公安部解释，这个政策对所有海外华人有效，但是申请人必须提交相关文件证明他们的华人身份。这意味着申请人必须呈交中国政府发出的官方文件，证明其身份。

中国公安部出入境管理局局长曲云海说，新政的目的是鼓励更多海外华人“参与中国经济发展”，作为世界第二大经济体，中国已不再满足于国内13亿人的智慧，而是将目光投向全球，将全球人才揽于麾下。对于有志于在华发展事业的外籍人士尤其是海外华人，这绝对是个好消息。公安部表示将继续优化向外国人发出永久居留制度。

解开双重国籍困扰 吸引海外华裔人才

中国政府为吸引国际科技创新人才，将在有“中国硅谷”之称的中关村试点推行移民入籍及华裔卡等制度，持卡者可以享有在中国永久居住权等居民权利。对于原籍是中国的侨胞，将参考其他国家可享受的永久居留等形式的权利。

四项试点

1、试点移民入籍制度，使获得永久居住资格的人员入籍更加便利。

2、试点华裔卡制度，由于中国不承认双重国籍，对于原籍是中国的侨胞，将参考其他国家可享受永久居留等形式的权利。

3、试点外籍人员临时身份证制度，例如居住6个月以上能获得临时身份证，可享受在华便利服务。

4、试点境外高校学生到中关村实习。

华裔卡和中国绿卡与什么不同

■ 中华人民共和国不承认双重国籍，所以加入了外国国籍的华人是无法同时保留中国国籍的。此外中国绿卡设立标准过高、控制过严、发放数量极少的情况，无法吸引到大量外国高级人才，更不用说庞大的外籍华人人才的需求。

■ 边界不同。中国绿卡的边沿更广泛，面向全体外籍人士，而“华裔卡”主要针对外籍华人。

■ “华裔卡”规定的要求不同，申请门槛更低，设置更加灵活务实的申请条件，更符合广大外籍华人需求

■ “华裔卡”目前只有广东、北京、上海等地专门地区试点施行

■ “华裔卡”有时效设置

什么是“中国绿卡”？

想得到它比得到外国绿卡要难的多

中国绿卡与身份证外观基本一致，拿到中国绿卡的外国人，在中国居留期限将不受限制，出入中国国境不需再办签证，在投资、购房和入学等方面也享有与中国公民同样的权利。

想要拿到中国的绿卡必须满足两个条件其中的一个:

1、为我国建设做出过重大贡献，或者自身拥有十分出色的技能，是我国急需的人才。

2、在我国进行过较大数额的投资，且三年内没有任何不良记录。这两点恐怕没有多少人能满足，所以能得到中国绿卡的外国人一般都是在学术方面颇有造诣的人，而这样的恰恰是少之又少，也难怪有人说中国绿卡是世界上最难拿的卡。

在这之前，外籍人士想要在中国待着可不是一件容易的事，中国的绿卡是“全世界最难申请”的!

很多人都认为美国“绿卡”是世界上最难申请的，事实上，中国“绿卡”才是最难的。实行绿卡制度15年以来，中国绿卡发放不到 8000张，能得到中国绿卡的大多是世界一流的科学家，甚至诺贝尔奖得主不在少数。拿到中国绿卡的外籍人士还不足一万，而美国光在2013年的一年内就向全世界发出了99万张绿卡……

外国人在中国永久居留需通过一系列繁琐的相关规定，就算是只办工作签证，最快也需要3个星期至1个月，才能申请到1年居留许可。

华裔卡申请材料

1、有效期为6个月以上、有至少1张空白签证页的护照原件及复印件

2、填写并签署《外国人签证、居留许可申请表》

3、1张证件照片（温馨提示：新八项出入境便利措施提到，受理窗口可为申请人提供免费出入境证件照相服务）

4、持2015年1月1日后签发的护照，且年满16周岁的申请人，须同时提交前一本护照（无论其国籍）原件。

（1）外籍人士：如首次申请中国签证，须提供原中国护照原件及复印件；

（2）外籍人士曾经申请过中国签证：须提供原外国护照照片资料页及曾获得的中国签证复印件；

（3）外籍人士已更名者：如果新护照所记载的姓名与原护照不一致，须提供有关官方出具的更改姓名的证明文件。

华裔卡开通，

对于外籍华人来说是重大利好，

在两国之间来往通行、

生活居住都将变得更加便捷啦！

Video: What’s Behind the US Conflict with Russia (& also China) 美國與俄羅斯（以及中國）衝突的背後是什麼

https://vimeo.com/681187541
https://www.facebook.com/100036400039778/posts/662319754991353/?d=n

The US finds itself in the middle of a crisis with Russia over Ukraine, thousands of miles from its own shores, and amidst a decades-long campaign to overthrow governments across Europe, up to Russia’s borders and eventually aspiring to overthrow Russia itself.

But this campaign in Europe is just part of a wider global campaign by the US to eliminate its competitors and exercise uncontested control over the world’s population, resources, and nations.

I explain the background of the US-Ukraine-Russia conflict, how it ties in to US provocations against China, and where in the Western media itself it admits to many of the points made by both Moscow and Beijing in protest to US foreign policy.

U.S. war on Russia: a stampede off a cliff By Sara Flounders – February 22, 2022

Bulletin: As of Feb. 22, Russia has recognized the two peoples’ republics in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine, the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Lugansk People’s Republic, established in 2014. Russia has said that it will send troops to protect the two republics if they come under further Ukraine/ NATO attack.

Washington and some European allies have announced economic sanctions against the two republics and/or against Russia. Working people worldwide must oppose U.S./NATO aggression and expansion, which are creating the danger of a massive war.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Creating a stampede is an ancient tactic. The earliest hunters knew that an entire herd could be stampeded off a cliff through the calculated use of smoke, noise and relentless drumming.

The European Union is being run off a cliff.

U.S. strategists, war planners, corporate media and politicians are unanimous in demanding that the European Union must prepare to impose the most extreme economic sanctions, especially the drastic step of blocking the new Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia.

Why are U.S. officials so focused on blocking the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia into Germany and other EU countries? Why is the trade in other essential energy supplies also being threatened?

Daily U.S. announcements of ominous information on Russian plans to invade Ukraine have dominated the media for two months. Breaking news headlines announce secret information that U.S. intelligence has of 150,000 Russian troops on the Ukrainian border.

There is another massive buildup of troops that the U.S. media barely mentions. It is being organized by the U.S. military.

The Ukrainian military now has a force of 150,000 troops, armed with modern U.S. weapons and trained by U.S. “advisers,” along with fascist mercenary and Special Ops units near the Russian border and the independent regions in Donbass, which they have been shelling.

Thousands of additional U.S. troops are arriving in the region. U.S.-commanded NATO bases in Poland and Romania are being expanded with advanced missile batteries, able to fire nuclear-capable missiles that can reach Russian cities within 30 minutes. For months U.S. and British naval operations have continued on the Black Sea off the Russian coast.

Lenin explained imperialist drive to war

To understand the imperialist drive toward war with Russia, it is helpful to review Lenin’s “Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism,” written over 100 years ago and still so relevant.

Lenin wrote during World War I of the enormous economic pressure from monopoly capitalism’s need to control markets and colonies using military power of their home state; this pressure led inexorably toward war. Now, in late-stage capitalism, U.S. and EU imperialism’s fundamental clash is still over markets and grabbing every economic advantage.

Behind the threatened war with Russia is this struggle by the largest monopoly capitalists for control of European markets and resources.

Competing with German imperialism

U.S. imperialism, the dominant global power, is striving to maintain its economic position and its domination of global trade and finance.

Russia today is largely an exporter of raw materials and has an economy smaller than South Korea, Canada or Brazil. Washington manufactured the Ukraine crisis in an attempt to further isolate, weaken and divide Russia.

The crisis exposes the intensifying competition to dominate all of Europe, especially Germany, the largest economic power in Europe and the dominant force in the European Union. German imperialism is both a U.S. ally within NATO and a capitalist economic competitor of the U.S.

That Russia has provided a reliable energy source threatens U.S. economic domination of Europe. Washington perceives this trade as opening the door to further trade with Russia. Of even greater concern, it’s an opening to China’s Belt and Road trade and development initiatives.

China has already surpassed the U.S. as the largest trading partner of Germany and of the EU as a whole. And the EU is the largest investor in Russia.

NATO, a U.S.-commanded military alliance, exists to enforce Washington’s dominance within Europe and to intervene in other parts of the world. NATO was expanded to every country of Eastern Europe to lock in place capitalist restoration of the formerly socialist countries. The threatened expansion of NATO’s military machine to Ukraine, on the border of Russia, along with NATO naval operations in the Black Sea, are direct provocations of Russia.

Expanding EU trade with Russia and China threatens the very basis of NATO and the purpose of positioning hundreds of U.S. military bases in Europe.

Nord Stream 2

The 745-mile natural gas pipeline called Nord Stream 2, a joint German-Russian energy project, undercuts the ability of giant U.S. energy corporations to sell their far more expensive natural gas extracted through hydraulic fracturing or fracking.

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline is now complete. It was awaiting final certification by German regulators, which the German government is withholding. The pipeline, which transmits Russian natural gas under the Baltic Sea directly to Germany, also bypasses Ukrainian transit infrastructure.

Russia already provides around a third of Europe’s natural gas through other existing pipelines. While it is far cheaper, environmentally preferable and more direct to build pipelines from Russia to European customers than to export from North America, U.S. corporations are driven to offload liquefied natural gas (LNG) gas in Europe, Asia or elsewhere.

Both Democrat and Republican politicians are united in their determination to stop Nord Stream 2.

U.S. finance capital, its banks and its oil, gas and military corporations consider the pipeline a threat to U.S. control of Europe, which is why Washington has tried to sabotage the project at every turn.

The Trump administration launched sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 project. But to Washington’s frustration, the pipeline construction continued.

With the new pipeline now completed, the Biden administration is preparing more drastic measures.

The U.S. corporate media are totally unanimous in repeating relentless charges that Russia is the aggressor and must be stopped by sabotaging the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. According to this propaganda, nothing less will suffice.

Throughout Europe there has been a building spree of dozens of LNG terminals to accept fracked gas from North America into European markets.

Fracked gas and LNG

The advent of hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” has transformed the U.S. into an oil and gas superpower. The U.S. is the largest exporter of LNG in the world, surpassing Qatar in December 2021. The U.S. has surpassed Russia as the world’s largest gas producer.

Most U.S. gas is produced by fracking. Environmentalists have opposed fracking, because the extraction process poisons local groundwater quality and causes seismic events.

To store and transport natural gas extracted through fracking, it is chilled to minus 162 C (minus 260 F), which transforms it to liquefied natural gas, which is 1/600th of its volume in a gaseous state. The liquid is shipped in reinforced massive tankers called LNG carriers in large, onboard, supercooled (cryogenic) tanks to the special LNG terminals in Europe.

LNG needs to be transformed from its liquid state back to gas and then transported through pipes at high pressure.

The challenge for U.S.-based fossil fuel corporations is to secure markets. More natural gas is being produced than can be used domestically.

U.S. oil and gas giants, as well as all U.S. politicians, have pushed European countries to increase their capacity to receive LNG by framing it as an energy security issue. Shifting purchases to the U.S. will make all the European economies dependent on U.S. pricing.

Since the 2018 meeting of U.S. and EU Commission presidents, U.S. LNG exports into Europe increased by 2,240%. (tinyurl.com/yr9xwrne)

Most of the news on the role of Nord Stream 2 and the pressure to expand the sale of U.S. fracked gas is in the business news. (tinyurl.com/78h2yymt)

But a Feb. 15, 2022, New York Times article: “How a Ukraine Conflict Could Reshape Europe’s Reliance on Russia,” described the conflict with charts, maps of vast interconnected gas pipelines from Russia into eastern Europe, Germany and Italy. It also detailed the dozens of LNG terminals being hastily constructed. (tinyurl.com/8b9n4w62)

The threat that harsher sanctions will be imposed on Russia — including the inevitable blocking of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline — has boosted U.S. sales of LNG and filled European LNG terminals to capacity.

Washington is frantic to short-circuit any European plan to further integrate with Russia or China. Sanctioning Russia and disrupting its trade to Europe — trade that is advantageous to Europe and Russia — give U.S. imperialism financial and geopolitical advantage.

Little consultation with imperialist competitors

As they step up anti-Russian propaganda, President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland have included threats of drastic economic measures. These measures will reshape and impoverish Europe and put it firmly under U.S. market control and under U.S.-commanded NATO control.

On Feb. 7, President Biden, while standing next to the new chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, said the U.S. would “bring an end” to the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine.

When pressed for details on how he would keep that promise, given that the pipeline is not under U.S. control, Biden replied, “I promise you; we will be able to do it.”

German Chancellor Scholz, meanwhile, declined to take a firm stance on the fate of Nord Stream 2. Then on Feb. 20, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared that London and Washington will cut off Russian companies’ access to U.S. dollars and British pounds and freeze all transactions. But Germany, France, Hungary and even Ukraine have pushed back against such dire predictions.

U.S. 2014 coup in Ukraine

Every U.S. war and every imposition of U.S. economic sanctions have been accompanied by fabricated incidents, following months of propaganda.

After the U.S.-orchestrated coup in Ukraine in 2014 overturned the elected government in Kiev, the capital, workers in the heavily industrialized eastern Ukraine refused to recognize the new anti-Russian regime. Instead they seceded from the fascist coup government in Kiev.

The People’s Republic of Donetsk and the People’s Republic of Lugansk in the Donbass have twice withstood efforts by Ukrainian forces, including fascist elements, to defeat this breakaway region. The Kiev regime is intensifying shelling and missile attacks on the independent republics to provoke Russia to protect them.

Stop U.S. aggression!

The U.S. has tens of thousands of troops in Europe; it is putting troops on high alert and sending more. They are arming the Ukrainian military, andthey are expanding NATO bases and sending additional arms and missiles to other NATO countries in the region.Only months after the chaotic defeat of the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan, U.S. imperialism seems to be preparing for another and far more dangerous war.

U.S. imperialism needs endless wars to maintain the profits of its gigantic military industries.

U.S. imperialism needs a war threat to maintain its position in Europe.

U.S. imperialism needs a war threat to block expanding European trade with Russia and China.

As Lenin showed in “Imperialism,” the drive to war and the threat of war can easily explode into a conflagration that destroys a continent.

Working people in the U.S. and in the European Union, not to mention in Russia and Ukraine, have no interest in another imperialist war.

U.S. war propaganda must be met with determined opposition.

China has never lacked traitors. 中國從來不缺乏漢奸老狗. 你们觉得有米国华人如此针对一个十八岁的华裔少女合理吗？还真的是难以相信。一些华人网友认为假设谷爱凌被斯坦佛拒收是活该。原因是，他们不高兴她决定代表中国出战北京冬奥运会。美国的华人是怎样的定义？我觉得早期的华人后裔只可称为华裔，大部分都是思想已归化的”美国人”。其中一部分已经不承认华人血统，更有的比如Andrew Yang 公开表明羞为华人。近期华人移民从台湾，香港，越南……等地到美国的大部分是仇中的。还有包括从中国去的为了美国绿卡甘愿叁军。你说这么复杂一群是似而非的”群体”能代表什么？总之，人各有志，数典忘祖，卖族求荣，就当是他家的事吧！

我不確定谷爱凌自己是想代表中國還是通過她母親希望她代表中國的影響，或兩者兼而有之。在美國，美國高加索公民展示以色列或其他歐洲國家等國家並不罕見。歐股美國人攜帶2-3本護照+美國護照也並不稀奇。在涉及到中文之前，它從來沒有什麼大不了的。

仇視中國人的理由之一是中國不允許雙重國籍。所以顧愛玲肯定是放棄了美國護照！沒有任何一方出來證實任何事情。

美國和中國的法律制度存在很大差異。在美國是法理情。在中國是情理法。我認為每個國家都可以對法律作出例外規定。

討厭中國人的人也不喜歡在香港和澳門出生的人可以擁有隨心所欲的護照。並且他們有權憑著獨特的回鄉證自由前往中國。

愛你的祖國就像愛你的父母一樣，你可以找到一千個愛或恨的理由。我見過很多孩子，儘管他們的父母照顧他們，但他們討厭他們的父母。他們中的一些人有富有的父母希望他們的父母早日死去，以便他們能夠盡快獲得遺產。

Chinese to English via Google Translate

China has never lacked traitors. Do you think it is reasonable for American Chinese to target an 18-year-old Chinese girl? It’s really hard to believe. Some Chinese netizens think that it is right to assume that Gu Ailing is rejected by Stanford. The reason is that they were unhappy with her decision to represent China at the Beijing Winter Olympics. What is the definition of Chinese in America? I think the early Chinese descendants can only be called Chinese, and most of them are “Americans” who have been naturalized. Some of them no longer recognize Chinese ancestry, and others, such as Andrew Yang, have publicly stated that they are ashamed of being Chinese. Most of the recent Chinese immigrants from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, etc. to the United States are feuding. There are also those who went from China willing to join the army for the US green card. What do you mean by such a complex group of paradoxical “groups”? In short, everyone has their own aspirations, forgetting their ancestors, selling their family for glory, and it should be his family’s business!

@Michael Loh I am not sure Eileen Gu herself wanted to represent China or through the influence of her mother wanting her to represent China, or both. In US it is not unusual for US Caucasian Citizens to present countries like Israel or other European nations. It is also not unusual for the European stocks Americans carry 2-3 passports + US passports. It has never a big deal until when it comes to Chinese.

One of the Chinese Chinese-haters arguments is China allowed no dual-Citizenship. Therefore Eileen Gu must has given up her US Passports! No party has come out confirming anything.

There is a big difference between US and China legal systems. In US is 法理情. In China is 情理法. I think every country can make exceptions to the law.

The Chinese Chinese-haters also don’t like people born in HK and Macau could have as many passports as they wanted. And they have the rights to travel freely to China with the unique 回鄉証.

Loving your motherland just like loving your parents, you can find a 1000 reason to love or hate. I have seen so many kids despite their parents took care of them hated their parents. And some of them have rich parents wishing their parents to die early so they can get their inheritance ASAP.

Modification is not dismantling! It is not a promise not to target Chinese and Chinese Americans! It is foolish to equate a name change with dismantling. 改裝不是拆！ 不是承諾不針對華人和華裔美國人！ 將改名等同於拆除是愚蠢的. 「終止」用孑錯誤, 誤導!

Lipstick on a filthy pig. No amount of rebranding can change this monstrosity.

The US always rebrands/renames things when they are ashamed of them or when they are criticized.

School of the Americas–> Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHISC)

AirSea Battle–>Joint Access Maneuver in the Global Commons (JAM-GC)

Pivot to Asia–>Rebalance to Asia
OIL (Operation Iraq Liberation)–

Operation Iraq Freedom
Torture–>Enhanced Interrogation
etc. etc.

There is no dismantling. In Chinese we call it, sell dogs meat for lambs meat.

I don’t see any dismissal of all cases being filed, I don’t see an apology to all the scientists whose lives have been ruined, I don’t see ending the 2000 investigation of Chinese scientists. I don’t see releasing of those Chinese scientists who are sitting in jail for being coerced into pleading to procedural crimes that DOJ could not prove. . All I see is a name change.

AAJC can pat itself on the back. It can join the DOJ saying the China Initiative is being dismantled. I am shocked at how naive they are. But then they are all part of the propaganda perpetrated against China and Chinese scientists. That all Chinese people are spies.

It was Obama that began going after Chinese and Chinese American academics in the courtsin 2009 when a dramatic uptick was detected which continued into 2015 or 2016, as the report of the Committee of 100 released in 2016 showed.

Let us give pioneering credit where credit is due.

p.s. Not only is the China Initiative racist, but it is an attack on openness, transparency and “science itself” as those who wrote the letter defending Charles Lieber for researching with Chinese. Once again in the case of the China Initiative, the US invocation of those values is no more than flatulence of the mouth.
