China has seen slowing growth in the number of people applying for foreign residence or citizenship, according to a report issued by Center for China and Globalization (CCG) in Beijing. China is the fourth-largest source of immigrants in the world.
Developed countries, including the US, Canada, the UK and Germany, have seen fewer Chinese immigrants over the years, while countries along the routes of Belt and Road Initiative are becoming more popular as immigration destinations, according to the report.
The five most popular nations and regions along the Belt and Road for Chinese are Singapore (448,000), Bangladesh (177,000), Thailand (100,000), Indonesia (70,000) and Russia (56,000), the report said.
Tightening immigration policy in developed nations such as the US and Canada, as well as increasingly conservative attitudes toward immigrants in the UK and Germany, have all been major factors contributing to this trend, Weng Li, a law professor at Zhejiang University, told the Global Times on June 9 at the conference on Global Talent Mobility, Migration, and Migration Law held in Beijing.
