"Alas, you're talking again—" Fan Heng couldn't help but shake his head.
For Fan Wuxi's words, Fan Heng can only choose to listen to his usefulness, for his remarks similar to angry youth, Fan Heng automatically chose to go in the left ear and out the right ear, otherwise, the brain memory is wasted too much.
Singapore has also become an ideal destination for the country's wealthy in the past few years, especially since Singapore is said to be planning to abolish the inheritance tax, which is very attractive to the wealthy who want to emigrate in the country.
Unlike Canada, Singapore has no restrictions on the length of time immigrants can stay, so many wealthy Chinese who have obtained a Singapore green card can continue to operate their businesses in the country, which is also very attractive to entrepreneurs who have a domestic business, and many domestic billionaires have bought apartments on Orchard Road, the heart of Singapore's commercial district, or villas in Sentosa, forming a new circle of life.
In the impression of skilled immigrants, the group of investment immigrants is closed and glamorous, they are completely people from two worlds, these investment immigrants never participate in any Chinese community activities, all live in the local high-end community, and some even change their names.
Some time ago, I read an interview, an immigration lawyer revealed in an interview that he had been asked by a domestic department to cooperate with the investigation of one of his clients, it is said that after the person left the country, he was investigated for suspected embezzlement of hundreds of millions of public funds, and the lawyer refused at that time, he said that it is the lawyer's obligation to protect the client's **, which will not violate the principle because the government department has a request.
In fact, in the world of skilled immigrants, they first have to adapt to the hardships of making a living and the gap in social status.
Countries such as Australia and Canada now prefer IT engineers and accountants when formulating skilled migration policies.
However, because the major companies in the two countries only recognize the work experience of their own countries and North America, most of the skilled immigrants from China have no chance to engage in their original occupations, which makes the life of a large number of skilled immigrants abroad although stable but far less glamorous at home, in a distant foreign country, most of them need to fade the halo of successful people in China, and return to ordinary to ordinary life.
Last year, two incidents that caused a sensation in the Canadian immigration circle, one was that the former science champion of a certain province only found a manual worker in a factory after completing his doctorate, so he chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building, and another Chinese doctor chose to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge after being dismissed from the company, which can be said to be the same path.
"I think Singapore is very good-" Shen Ying was obviously more opposed to Fan Wuxi's words, "I went to Singapore a while ago, and I found that the urban environment there is very good, and everyone's legal awareness is quite strong, and there are very few people who break the law and commit crimes, if there is any drawback, it is that the city is too small." ”
"That's because you don't know about their development experience—" Fan said with a smile.
"Singapore is billed as a global success story, but in fact, Singapore's success comes mainly from laundering money for corrupt officials and businessmen in Indonesia, and now that Indonesia has no black money to launder, Singapore is building casinos to attract corrupt money from other countries." Fan Wuxian said to everyone.
"It is worth mentioning that Singapore itself, a city-state with a radius of tens of kilometers, has mixed the most bizarre social characteristics, on the one hand, it has a high degree of economic freedom, and has been the runner-up for many years in the widely watched global evaluation of the Heritage Foundation, second only to Hong Kong, and on the other hand, it has lagged behind in terms of press freedom and politics." "There are only two major media groups in Singapore, Press Holdings and Mediacorp. Among these two media outlets, one is dominated by newspapers and the other is dominated by television broadcasting, both of which are 100 percent controlled by the government, and criticism of the Singapore government by foreign media often leads to defamation lawsuits; Singapore ranks more than 140 in the global press freedom evaluation of reporters without borders, which is not far from North Korea, Zimbabwe, and other countries. ”
In fact, Singapore's family-style management has also been criticized, Lee Kuan Yew has been in power for many years and stepped down as prime minister, serving as senior cabinet minister, his eldest son Lee Hsien Loong was trained as a candidate to take over as the next prime minister, and also served as finance minister, chairman of the monetary authority, etc., the second son Lee Hsien Yeung is responsible for the president of Singapore Telecom, the largest state-owned company, and Lee Hsien Loong's wife Ho Ching is in charge of Temasek Investment Company.
"The whole of Singapore is actually the family of the Lee family, and the prosperity of the whole Singapore is just the prosperity of the Lee family." Fan Wuxian said to everyone, "Because the media is in the hands of the Li family, everything you see is untrue, and your understanding of Singapore is also one-sided. ”
For a long time, most Chinese's understanding of Singapore is only an impression from the more popular Singapore TV dramas in the eighties, in fact, this official public opinion propaganda is basically to praise the Li family, naturally can not truly reflect its development trajectory.
The financial team under Fan Wuxian can be said to be a small group of financial elites from all over the world, and they have naturally studied the development process of Singapore carefully, so they can grasp the root of Singapore's development, not the free economy that has made Singapore, nor the centralization of the Li family** has made Singapore, but they have used the advantages of the island country to help Malaysian and Indonesian executives launder money and get rich remuneration, which has made the wealth of the Li family.
"Because Singapore is too small, a chaebol is enough to support the prosperity of the whole Singapore, so you see the current Singapore, in fact, there are many poor people in Singapore, but the Lee family has done a better job of ensuring the livelihood of the people under its rule, which is worthy of recognition." Fan Wuxian said.
"Where did we just talk about? How does it feel like it's off topic? Fan Heng didn't have much interest in his son's criticism of Singapore, so he asked.
"Immigrants—" Shen Ying reminded on the side.
"Well, yes, is there any good way to solve the problem of brain drain?" Fan Heng asked his son.
Fan replied, "The simplest international practice is generally to recognize dual nationality. ”
When Fan Heng heard this, he immediately became silent.
China's refusal to recognize dual nationality was promised by Premier Zhou to Southeast Asian countries at the Bandung Conference in the 50s of the last century, and the original purpose was to avoid the embarrassment and danger of the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia falling into dual political allegiance.
"In recent years, many high-level figures from the business community, cultural festivals, and intellectual circles have called for the implementation of dual citizenship through the channels of meeting with the central leadership, and this issue has also been discussed several times by high-level people, but it was quickly vetoed," Fan Heng later said to his son, "Until a series of identity boundaries such as the identity card issue, the household registration issue, and the freedom of movement issue are resolved, the recognition of dual nationality will still bring new and even greater injustice."
At present, more than half of the countries in the world recognize or acquiesce to dual nationality, and countries such as South Korea and India that have lost a large number of elite talents during the transition period have also begun to acquiesce to dual nationality to attract elites to return to the nest.
And these high-quality talents are often the elites who have spent more than ten years or even decades of resources in the local society to cultivate, and it is precisely the scarce human capital that is so easily lost overseas, what should China do?
In fact, many late-developing countries and regions in Asia have experienced similar problems.
Britain's long colonial history in the South Asian subcontinent has left India with a full tradition of English education, and Indian students from British schools can communicate directly with Westerners, listening, speaking, reading and writing are not a problem.
Especially at the tertiary level, Indian students directly use the original English textbooks to study mathematics and science, accounting, business, management, medicine and other professional courses, which makes it easier for them to integrate with Western society.
Indian society has also been concerned about the brain drain, and some have even proposed that such immigrants should be taxed to compensate for the loss of public resources in the local community. Over the past few decades, however, India has come to realize that expatriate students and professionals are not interrupted from their home countries and continue to deliver value to India and its international image, despite being far from their home countries.
According to the statistics of the World Bank, the remittances of Indian immigrants have occupied the top spot in the global remittance rankings for many years, and overseas Indian scholars and professionals have brought many opportunities for international exchanges and cooperation to Indian domestic institutions every year. It also makes the positive image of Indian-Americans often photogenic.
These facts have gradually calmed the resentment of the brain drain in India itself, and it has begun to see such immigrants as a potential positive force.
"So, do you have any other options besides the simplest one?" Fan Heng paused for a long time and then asked his son again.
"Of course it can't be without, but it's more troublesome, and it doesn't work in a day or two." Fan replied.
There are no pop-ups
