In this world, there are many people who, for various reasons, choose to leave their home country, immigrate to other countries, and become citizens of other countries. Some of these people are in pursuit of a better life, some are trying to escape war and poverty, some are studying Xi and working, and some are for love and family affection. Some of these people are loyal to their new country, some are nostalgic for their old country, some are disagreeable with both sides, and some want to take advantage of both sides. Some of these people are happy, some are sad, some are bland, and some are contradictory.
Some of these people are Chinese-Americans, who were or are now Chinese with American citizenship, numbering about 4 million, with diverse backgrounds, complex identities, and diverse destinies. In recent years, some of them have set off a "wave of returning to China" and want to return to their homeland, China, in search of security and development. However, they found that China did not welcome them, and even rejected their entry applications and revoked their Chinese nationality. They felt incredulous, angry, and shouted: I am still Chinese, why should I cancel my nationality?
Cause: The motive of the return to China
To understand why Chinese Americans are returning to China, we must first understand why they immigrated to the United States and how they live in the United States. The history of Chinese American immigration can be traced back to the 19th century, when many Chinese risked their lives across the Pacific Ocean to the United States in order to escape the corruption and backwardness of the Qing Dynasty and seek gold and freedom. These Chinese, mainly engaged in some difficult and dangerous work, such as building railroads, mining gold, planting crops, etc., contributed to the economic development of the United States. However, instead of being respected and recognized by American society, they were discriminated against and ostracized by Americans, and even subjected to violence and massacres. Most of these Chinese have not obtained American citizenship or fully integrated into American culture, they are just trying to survive and make a living, and their hearts are still concerned about their motherland.
With the passage of time, Chinese immigrants in the United States have also changed, and more Chinese have come to the United States in order to study Xi and work, some of them have obtained American citizenship and adapted to American culture, and they have excellent performance in various fields, such as science, education, business, politics, etc., and have contributed to the social progress of the United States. However, they have not completely shaken off the prejudice and discrimination of Americans, they are still restricted and suppressed in many aspects, and their rights and interests are still violated and damaged. Although these Chinese have American citizenship, they still have a Chinese complex in their hearts, and they still have concern and concern for their motherland.
In recent years, due to some special reasons, there have been new changes in Chinese immigrants in the United States, more Chinese want to return to their homeland China for refuge and development, some of them have given up their American citizenship and life in the United States, they have sought new opportunities and challenges in China, they have realized new dreams and values in China, and have made contributions to China's social development. However, they have not fully adapted to China's system and culture, and they are still confused and uncomfortable in many ways, and their identity and status are still questioned and disputed. Although these Chinese have returned to their homeland, their hearts still have American influence, and they still have expectations and requirements for their new country.
So, why did Chinese Americans set off a "wave of return"? What are their motives? According to the information I searched, I found the following main reasons:
Experience: The difficulty of the homecoming tide
Chinese Americans want to return to their home country, China, but find that it is not an easy task. They face a variety of difficulties and obstacles, including:
Restrictions by Law. According to Chinese law, China does not recognize dual nationality, that is, if a Chinese citizen acquires a foreign nationality, then he automatically loses his Chinese nationality and thus loses the rights and obligations of a Chinese citizen. This means that if Chinese Americans want to return to China, they must renounce their U.S. citizenship or apply for a Chinese visa to enter and reside as foreigners. However, renunciation of U.S. citizenship is not an easy task, requires a complex process and approval, and once renounced, it is difficult to reinstate. Applying for a Chinese visa is not an easy task, you need to provide various materials and proofs, and due to the impact of the epidemic, there are many restrictions and requirements for the issuance of visas.
Emotional tangle. Although Chinese Americans want to return to their home country, China, they are not willing to give up their life and work in the United States completely. They have their own families, friends, careers, property, etc. in the United States, and they are also Xi to the American system, culture, lifestyle, etc. They have mixed feelings about both the United States and China, and they want to enjoy China's security and development while preserving the freedom and rights of the United States. They are torn between the two countries, having difficulty making decisions.
Societal pressures. Chinese Americans want to return to their home country, China, but find that they are not popular in China, and even met with doubts and criticism from some Chinese. They are considered to be "leeks", "traitors", "traitors", etc., who are accused of wanting to return to China to seek asylum in order to escape the epidemic and crisis in the United States, and they are questioned whether they have any ulterior motives to gain benefits from China, and they are asked whether they want to contribute and be loyal to China. They feel cold and hostile in China, and they cannot find their own belonging and identity in China.
Results: Consequences and reactions to the wave of return
The "wave of return" set off by Chinese Americans has different consequences and reactions for themselves, for China, and for the United States, including:
For themselves. Chinese Americans wanted to return to their homeland, China, but were rejected by China, and they felt incredulous, angry, and shouted: I am still Chinese, why should I cancel my nationality? They do not understand why China does not accept them, why China does not care about them, why China does not help them. They feel that they are being treated unfairly, that they feel that they are abandoned children, that they feel that they are betrayed relatives. They felt disappointed and hopeless in China, they felt lonely and helpless in China.
For China. Chinese Americans want to return to their homeland, China, but China refuses, which is China's legitimate right and China's wise choice. China does not recognize dual nationality, which is China's sovereign position and is also China's national interest. China does not welcome Chinese Americans, which is China's epidemic prevention measure and China's social stability. China does not help Chinese Americans, which is China's self-protection and China's fairness and justice. China's attitude towards Chinese Americans reflects China's spirit of the rule of law and China's self-confidence.
For the United States. The fact that Chinese Americans wanted to return to their homeland China but were rejected by China is a surprise and embarrassment for the United States, as well as a wake-up call and reflection for the United States. The United States is surprised why China has been able to achieve such excellent results in the epidemic, why China has been able to show such strong strength in development, and why China has been able to win so wide respect in the world. The United States is embarrassed why it has performed so badly in the epidemic, why it has encountered such difficulties in development, and why it has lost so much trust in the world. The United States is alert to why it has carried out such unreasonable suppression of Chinese scientists, why it has carried out such cruel discrimination against the Chinese community, and why it has carried out such indifferent neglect of Chinese citizens. The United States reflects on why it wants to engage in such a senseless confrontation with China, why it has given up such beneficial cooperation with China, and why it has missed sharing such a bright future with China.
In short, the "tide of returning to China" set off by Chinese Americans is a complex phenomenon, a profound problem, and a topic worthy of attention. It involves multiple levels such as nationality, identity, emotion, interests, law, society, and state, and it reflects the differences, contradictions, competition, cooperation and other relations between the United States and China, and it affects the development, stability, security, and peace of the United States and China. We should use a rational and objective attitude to analyze and understand this phenomenon, to deal with and solve this problem, and to promote and promote this topic.
