WELCOME CHINESE to the UNITED STATES!
20-30 years ago, it was difficult for Chinese to go abroad ....and more difficult if they wish to go to the United States. The reason is that the US government do not want them to work and settle in the US. Now, the US authority should be aware that the Chinese living standard have been greatly improved and more and more Chinese people are getting rich. Therefore there will not be many Chinese people wishing to settle in the US any more. Chinese want to go to US for
1.) Post graduate studies 2.) Holiday and 3) Business .
In view of this the US government must start to open door to welcome the Chinese visitors . Thus, US will surely gain enormous benefit from these Chinese visitors. Especially so if some well-off tourist purchase some property during their tour. If the US government could introduce a number of encouragement policy in purchasing of US property( for example to those who have purchase more than 1million US$ and above US properties will be entitled to be resident in the US and so on). Gradually this could be one of another unexpected great revenue for the United States to help rescue the financial crisis and ease the glooming property market. Therefore, Welcome Chineseto the United States should be the priority of United States .
欢迎中国人
20—30年前，中国人出国难！要到美国更难！现在中国人出国已经很方便了，但美国对中国人入境的大门仍关得很紧，因为担心中国人到美国工作和定居。
美国有关当局应该知道，现在中国人的生活，已经大大改善了，富裕的中国人也已经很多了，要到美国工作和定居的人已经不多了，现在要到美国的中国人应该只有三个大类：1、到美国留学深造的学生；2、旅游观光客；3、寻找投资机会的商人。
因此，一向以国家利益为重的美国政府，应该开始争取中国人到访，对中国人应该大开放便之门，美国肯定将会从大量到访的中国人中获得无穷尽的经济利益，尤其富有的游客可能会顺便在美国置业，如果美国政府能够出台一些新政策，例如：凡购置产业超过一百万美元者，将可以获得居留权等等。这将会为美国提供一条巨大的财路，对解救美国目前楼市的困境将有意想不到的帮助！
因此，欢迎中国人到美国应该是优先处理的美国政策。

Hi St Liu,
Your latest article amazes me because in pervious writings you wished less than well for the US.Now you are encouraging the Chinese to buy properties in the US in exchange for citizenships.This is the most ill-conceived idea of encouraging immigation as it cheapens the vlaue of US citizenship.
The US is a country of immigrants and it is still is.It does not need to offer purchase of property in exchange for citiizenship;and it has never done this, non will it need to do now or in the future.
The US is known as a country of opportunity and for those who are prepared to work hard have a realizable chance of achieving the American dream.
Most of the goblal young go to the US for studies.According to Fareed Zakaria in his latest book,The Post American World,and I quote:"Foreign students and immigrants account ofr 50% of the science researchers in the country and,in 2006,received 40% of the doctorates in science and engineering and 65% of the doctorates in computer science....Half of Silicon Valley start-ups have one founder who is an immigrant or first-generation American".
In other words,the US does not need to offer purchase of property for citizenship to the Chinese or others because of more compelling attributes such as educational and research opportunities;job opportunities;entrepreneurial opportunities etc.
For your information,a foreign student,whether Chinese or other,can obtain a green card when he or she is able to find a job after graduation.
The basic issue is whether more foreigners will take up US citizenships given the current financial situation.Another factor is that other countries are becoming richer such as China and India.These countries have started from a low base and as they continue to grow,they may offer better and wider opportunities.
Immigrants with the desirable credentials have always provided a "cheap" source of intellectual capital to countries where they choose to settle.The US is a key beneficiary;just look at the number of Noble Prize winners in the 20th century who were born outside the US.They were not enticed with property purchases.

Dear Robert.
You must learn what is the diference between "citizenship" and
"resident"
ST.Liu
Hello Liu,
The difference is not as critical as your idea to trade residency with property purchase.It cheapens the value of residency or citizenship.
