Late in the evening earlier this month I stood at the heart of the campus of one of America’s great universities, marveling at the generosity of the American business community in building and rebuilding so extensively.

Then I noticed that all the young people I saw around were Chinese. After further inspection some Indians and a few blacks could be identified, but I only saw two white men.

Later that week I flew steerage from the West Coast. More than half my companions were rather tired-looking and small Chinese, dressed for rough travel and carrying huge amounts of baggage. No doubt they crossed the border a few days earlier.

I was witnessing the Great Replacement in action.

Last Thursday I posted The Chinese ARE Coming (Illegally). And They Have Tremendous Incentives To Do So.

This focused on two recent articles: Why Chinese migrants cross US southern border in growing numbers [by Francine Kiefer, Christian Science Monitor, May 21, 2024] and Why so many middle-class Chinese migrants take risky, illegal route to U.S. [by Marrian Zhou, NikkeiAsia, May 22, 2024].

Cutting through the Human Interest/Drama content which was, as usual with this genre, most of the content, I elucidated some points which are very ominous for the survival of the Historic American Nation in possession in its homeland.

  • (CSM) US Immigration Courts grant Chinese asylum requests at a much higher rate (~70% v 42%) than to other nationalities. This despite almost all Chinese immivaders saying openly at first that they are here to make money. Immigration lawyers can easily demonstrate that the People’s Republic of China is a dismal tyranny.
  • (NikkeiAsia) The prospect of free public education entrances the Chinese. At home, education is not free and most also plan on expensive supplements.
  • The Chinese welfare system is quite weak and very underfunded compared to the American.

Chinese migration is very well-informed by numerous Chinese language websites accessible in China. (The fact that the highly intolerant Chinese authorities allow these websites proves that they are quietly acquiescing in this flow.) Also many get information from the Chinese immigrants already in America. They probably know more about how to game the U.S. system when they cross the border than do many Americans.

So many of this kind of story have appeared that the swamp dwellers have started to worry that the peasantry will get riled up. So counterpropaganda has started.

On May 7, 2024, Foreign Affairs, mouthpiece of the Establishment bastion the Council on Foreign Relations, posted Why Are More Chinese Migrants Arriving at the U.S. Southern Border? [by James Palmer. [Archive link]. On May 14, 2024 the populist wire service version was pumped out: Trump suggests Chinese migrants are in the US to build an ‘army.’ The migrants tell another story [by Fu Ting, Ali Swenson, and Didi Tang, AP News, May 14, 2024].

Because Americans generally are soft-hearted, immigration restraint advocates often default to complaining about details rather than the broad demographic/cultural threat a foreign invasion brings. Such as possible terrorists, spies, or public health problems. While valid, their opponents can get away by quibbling about the size of these threats.

Actually the Chinese influx is questionable. Even the CSM story cited above notes:

Last year, 71% of Chinese migrants entering Ecuador, a major entry point to the U.S., were male, and 55% were between ages 15 and 39

In Chinese Problems + No Borders = American Obliteration. WATCH Muckraker.com’s Great Videos! the Muckraker film makers were much taken by the military bearing of the young men they saw.

Also by the fact that China has established police stations in various American cities to monitor their expats.

AP’s elegant refutation of this fear is to report that the migrants themselves deny it . Foreign Affairs counters the espionage possibility by saying

Espionage depends on access, which Chinese graduates and tech workers have and asylum-seekers do not.

(The CSM story says Chinese students are the largest group of international students in America.)

So, suspect not these Chinese—suspect those Chinese. This is not encouraging.

After all, we are talking about China, well known to be up to some strange things. Only this week we saw US-UK Intelligence Warning: China Cyberthreats Pose ’Epoch-Defining’ Challenge [by Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge Thursday, May 23, 2024]. The Gatestone Institute issued a report in July on Chinese bribery efforts here, which I discussed in: Gatestone Says “Hundreds” Of U.S. Politicians Purchased. How Can Mitch McConnell NOT Be One? Peter Schweizer wrote a whole (eye-opening) book on the topic: Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.

We cannot reasonably put anything past the Chinese.

Fundamentally though, both Foreign Affairs and AP fall back on the standard operating procedure of the MSM: denial. Foreign Affairs intones:

Although Chinese arrivals to the United States may remain at this level for a while, it’s not likely that they will increase exponentially again in 2024… The Chinese economy isn’t doing great, but the slowdown alone doesn’t seem to be worth risking life and limb for.

This is preposterous. The immigration machinery is now in place and publicized, as are U.S. welfare and education benefits. And the key factor is China’s size4.27 times the population of America. Even in the unlikely event economic migration suddenly ceased, genuine political and religious dissidents could easily run into the millions.

AP’s effort in belittling the issue is a cute interactive chart (non-interactive screenshot below) which shows that Border patrol encounters of Chinese fell from 14,522 in Q4 Calendar 2023 to 9,248 in Q1 2024.

However, the influx seems to have accelerated since: CBP nabs more Chinese illegal immigrants at California border [by Bradford Betz and Bill Melugin, Fox News , May 26, 2024] says

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)… sources tell Fox News that the San Diego sector in Southern California has encountered more than 30,000 Chinese illegal immigrants at the border since October 1.

This implies May encounters are at or even above December’s record of 5,951.

VDARE.com believes in facing facts. With a population 4.7 times that of our country, a proportionately quite small exodus of the notoriously intelligent Chinese will transform America, not to the benefit of Americans.

The issue is: If millions of Chinese arrive, will this still be America? And how will the newcomers treat this country and its institutions?

https://twitter.com/xxx/status/1794852650686755095

Beyond that, just as no one would applaud the introduction into their child’s classroom of large quantities of bigger, more developed, and more violent black kids, why would anyone welcome the introduction of intelligent and appallingly industrious Chinese children to carry off the academic prizes?

I asked some years ago: Was It Really Such A Good Idea To Let SMART Asians In?

American plutocrats, overconfident in their ability to protect their own progeny, scoff at this concern. Ultimately, when ethnocentrism bites, their descendants will curse them.

Last year in A Concerned Reader Wonders If A “Meritocratic” Majority Asian Harvard Is Good For The Historic American Nation, our astute correspondent sensibly said

Harvard presumes that it is training America’s next generation of leaders … I am leery of a majority of student body of future leaders being any less white and gentil e than it already is.

Given a little time (and bearing in mind the current anti-white ethos in America), these people and their children will become merciless competitors. And there will be a LOT of them.

Americans have a generally favorable impression of Chinese immigrants. But they bring serious faults. Despite high average intelligence and several thousand years of civilization, China has never been able to develop a political system other than despotism, scarcely ever benign. And, as I discussed in Kirkegaard Shows The Chinese Outliers In Dishonesty—U.S. Relationship, Immigration Policy Must Be Reassessed, the Chinese appear to have serious moral flaws by Western standards, including, in regions such as Fujian, a chilling willingness to sell their children into prostitution.

Last year I quoted a Wise WSJ Commenter:

I worked with the Chinese and Chinese SOE for well over two decades, and I can tell you that my experience is that they are not to be trusted in any manner. Full stop!

In my experience they will break the letter and spirit of agreements, and will suck every ounce out of Western firms that they can.

They are in my opinion, our existential enemy, and bent on our destruction by any and all means.

A number of those writing to me following my various Chinese essays take the view that America, and white counties generally, should welcome being overrun and (at least culturally) conquered if the invaders who are strong enough to do this.

My reply: Only whites, and no other race, are brainwashed enough to believe this. Holding this view means extinction.

Or at more length: My Correspondents Say Chinese Darien Gap Immivaders Better Than Other Illegals. I Say: SO WHAT?

More and more I am impressed by the moral stature of the great Statesmen who passed the 1924 Immigration Act. As Kevin MacDonald laid out for us in Was the 1924 Immigration Cut-off “Racist”? these men acted because they were afraid for the future of their nation. One said:

Let me emphasize here that the restrictionists of Congress do not claim that the ’Nordic’ race, or even the Anglo-Saxon race, is the best race in the world…

What we do claim is that the northern European and particularly Anglo-Saxons made this country. Oh, yes; the others helped. But… [t]hey came to this country because it was already made as an Anglo-Saxon commonwealth…

It is a good country. It suits us. And what we assert is that we are not going to surrender it to somebody else or allow other people, no matter what their merits, to make it something different.

Even at the time, this attitude brought much vilification. But they were steeled by fear. MacDonald noted

What can be found in the statements of the reformers is actually fear of inferiority. Several representatives from the far West seem to have viewed the Japanese as racially equal or superior, not inferior.

A congressman described the Japanese as

“a relentless and unconquerable competitor of our people wherever he places himself.”

(Chinese were not the issue thanks to the far-sighted late 19th century Chinese Exclusion Acts.)

Recognizing when you are likely to be overpowered takes emotional fortitude: it is essential for a military leader and indeed any type of Statesman.

Ignoring the question is a sin.

Where is GOP?

    The other thing about the Chinese is that they like the Jews today and various other times the Germans and British have a superiority complex and even thought themselves the core of the world with the outside being full of “barbarians”.

    So far we have never seen a country which is so large by population (Only superseded by fractious India), has a massive ethnic diaspora all over the world and which has deep in it’s psyche an idea of being the supreme master race also being the most powerful country in the world.

    Right now in 2024 the Chinese are slowly banning education in non-Mandarin languages, particularly Tibetan in an effort to extinguish them.

    Libertarians like to think envy of the poor and weak is what makes the world go round but in truth it’s the contempt of the rich and powerful.

    What happens when China finally gets over it’s complex about it’s idea of being the supreme people, burned down with the Summer Palace and finds itself the richest and most powerful country in the world with massive ethnic diasporas across the world? Current Chinese leaders, humbled by memories of a very different recent past of China may say and even believe one thing. But what happens when the children who have known nothing but Chinese greatest come to power?

    Will we all become Tibetans too?

    I’m reminded of the hilariously-titled paper from the Pentagon.

    You speak the actual truth.
    I take it that our treacherous elite do actually believe that somehow they and their posterity will be able to leap frog the destruction that they have meticulously orchestrated. Are they delusional in thinking they can control the outcomes of their treasonous actions, or are they miserable psychopaths who enjoy destroying anything of value, or both.
    When Western life has boiled down to one of smiling predators preying on one another for a bigger slice of the pie, is it really a mystery that those who have clawed their way to the top of the heap behave in such a way. They simply project their own self-hatred and their betrayal of all the is good onto those all around them whom they judge as the same as themselves.

    Right now in 2024 the Chinese are slowly banning education in non-Mandarin languages, particularly Tibetan in an effort to extinguish them.

    Schools in Tibet are actually tri-lingual, with Tibetan, Mandarin, and English courses. What you are referring to is a national policy mandating education primarily in Mandarin, as a means of fostering not only national unity, but recognizing the reality and necessity of understanding the nation’s primary language.

    Get away from the Radio Free Asia/BBC/Tibet Watch mode, and think about this for a moment using the US as a reference. In the US there has been much ink spilt over bilingual education, with most ‘conservatives’ arguing that bilingual education fosters disunity, cultural fragmentation, and poorly serves students who must eventually be expected to work within an English system.

    With a push for multilingual education we instead find students unable to cope with the functional demands that higher education is supposed to correct for. Also, we have enclaves where English is not spoken at all, a situation leading to social disunity among our unfortunately diverse populations.

    China is attempting to remedy this problem, by first recognizing that Mandarin is the official language, and second that in order to prosper within China as Chinese, citizens must be proficient in that language.

    China has the correct idea, whereas in the US, because of a lack of standardized language policy, we have a situation where not only education, but business and government is conducted in multiple languages, to no one’s real benefit. Press 1 for English, etc.

    Late in the evening earlier this month I stood at the heart of the campus of one of America’s great universities, marveling at…

    Let me guess, Pat. You were marveling at the efficacy and ability of Jews to get university presidents to call the cops on students who were upset that Israel, with the help of America, was killing Palestinian women and children, left and right. Did I get that right?

    Actually you should be happy about the influx of Chinese. Because with China now our public enemy number one (next on the war list right after Russia), perhaps Congress will finally take some initiative over our south of the border invasion. I mean, if it was just folks from Central America, who would care? But with illegal Chinese getting ready to ‘build an Army’ in the US…

    But here’s the thing, Pat. Send all the Chinese, Mexicans, Haitians, Venezuelans…, plus all the rest back to where they came from. And you know what? The rot will continue. Why? Because they are not the cause of the problem, but only the effect. If you want to get back to the ‘historic American nation’ you always talk about, then you have to get to the root of the problem, which is subversive Jewish influence. If you are not talking about that, you are just not talking.

    And speaking of… are Jews part of your ‘historic America nation’? Or did they arrive later, after the fact?

    One thing you are right about, though. It’s a total disgrace how Chinese are subverting America, especially buying up all our politicians. I mean, as soon as one is elected they make the pilgrimage, donning a palace eunich hat and kowtowing at the Great Wall of China, in order to pledge allegiance to the Chinese Communists.

    I am not getting what the author wants to say. This post is not addressed to the author at all, rather to the people who read comments. The author does not want illegal chinese immigration. That much is clear. Does he want legal chinese immigration? Does he want legal or illegal immigration originating from elsewhere? Or does he want the USA to remain a cocoon to descendants of pre-independence european settlers or of pre ww2 european settlers or of only anglo-saxon settlers or pre 1970 settlers. Is he a white? jew? black? mixed? japanese? indian? Is he super rich? rich? salaried? unemployed? propertied? Why is not he saying anything about the stranglehold the 0.01% and the jewish lobby and the three letter agencies has over US policy, discourse and future? Also general apathy of the general population and proclivity to the easy life?

    I am also surprised by this phenom. If they are trying to migrate in this way, why not go to europe? France is the most accepting from what I have heard. For someone to hazard such perils, they obviously would have to believe that they are going to get a better life than at home. I do not know for a fact, but hazard my guess that pay is not very high in china, but so are the living expenses less in china. Plus state healthcare services are great. Even so, the competition to the top is tough what with all the competitors intelligent and hardworking. Also on the flipside it is very hard to find a bride to start a family. Also I read about some “lying flat” movement in china.

    What lies in the future for these travelers? A job? No job? welfare handouts? good looking demonesses(majority?) for a wife? Costly living expenses and healthcare? I dont see the point of it. Is it trading one shithole for another shithole? Or trading the boring certainty and security of a pleb-like existence for the dangerous uncertainty?

    Commentators kindly illuminate.

    The plan is to make US the communist state of China, with its social credit system, and all the other goodies as a benefit to us, reeducation camps, labor camps, or good enough for body parts. With 1.4 billion who cares about few millions. That system works so well , it is an envy of many new age politicians, Look at Australia, how quickly they have build an isolation camps for people who resisted covid lock downs. We have them everywhere ready , do you remember a list of CCP party members released few years ago by Chinese whistleblower,“Communist party branches have been set up inside western companies, allowing the infiltration of those companies by CCP members – who, if called on, are answerable directly to the communist party, to the Chairman, the president himself,” she said.

    Many of Pat’s articles are an over the top (or possibly under the bottom) aggregate of half-news. Allegations based on loaded words that really don’t represent the situation. But that’s how emotionally based propaganda works.

    For example, the overseas ‘secret Chinese police stations’ the media has been touting every now and then. Pat’s link is from Phelim Kine of Politico and Human Rights Watch. Yet closer investigation shows that they are not ‘police stations’ in any sense of the term, as anyone who takes the time to think about it would on their own realize. Yet these people use the word ‘police station’ not to clarify, but rather to obfuscate, because they know that the idea of a secret police station has a certain nefarious connotation.

    It would be more accurate to think of them in the sense of an NGO, which are very common operations financed by the US government in order to influence (to the point of inciting ‘color revolutions’) in foreign countries. Now, one can (and should) be against the entire concept of NGOs. But that is not what is going on here. In any case, the subterfuge of these ‘secret police stations’ is pretty benign compared to Western NGOs and their actual foreign intrigue. However, unlike Paul Harvey, Pat won’t tell you ‘the rest of the story’.

    Then there is the implied idea that Chinese infiltrators are ‘military aged men’ who could be (and likely are) getting together to form a secret paramilitary group in order to… well, to what? This is sort of left up in the air. Kind of implies hordes of Yellow Peril Manson-esque Dune Buggy Attack Battalions coming over the hills in SoCal.

    Certainly there should be no illegal invaders south of the border. But there is no political will to stop it. Why is that? Because our politicians are more concerned about supporting Jewish concerns: Israel today, but over the last couple of years it has been the Jew Zelensky. And why are politicians more interested in the ever expanding borders of Israel, and the receding borders of the Ukraine?

    Pat should write about that. I’m sure by the time it filters through his inked quill it will be because of ACPAC, the American-China Political Affairs Committee. You know, that group of Chinese billionaires who control both parties, and are passing anti-Sinitism laws, making it illegal to criticize both China and Chinese.

    You’re making a huge jump with the comparison to Jewish supremacy which is unique in this world. I think China will eventually have a GDP of two times the US GDP with weak soft power outside of Asia. China is going to be the main country in Asia but won’t come close to ruling the world. They may actually become one of the major forces in the world helping keep Jewish supremacy in check.
