Emerging Markets and Migration Policy: China
China’s development has given rise to massive flows of both domestic migration and international emigration.
Recently, China has also emerged as a major immigration country. According to the 2010 census, which for the first time included foreign residents, China currently has a foreign population of 1 million (including residents from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao). Estimates that include the many non-registered non-PRC nationals add up to double that figure. While this is still a minute fraction of China’s total population of 1.34 billion, the absolute number already makes China an immigration country the size of a mid-sized European or Asian country.
