December 25, 1642

Because this day coincides with Christmas in the West, Australia, especially the capital Manchester City, is a gathering place for European immigrants, with more than 600 immigrants from European countries.

In order to make these new immigrants integrate into the big Australian family more quickly, President Zhou Aiguo decided to have a private visit to Weifu to take a look and see that these immigrants from Europe are still dissatisfied with their new life.

Because Christmas is not a traditional Chinese holiday, although there is a romanticism in the Crossing of the People's Republic of China once proposed to make this day a legal holiday, but it was rejected by the committee at that time.

The entire Europeans in Australia only belong to ethnic minorities, not like the Han nationality, so they were directly vetoed, but in order to take care of these Europeans, the Executive Committee at that time specially approved Europeans to take a half-day holiday if they go to work on this day, which can be regarded as taking care of them.

This law was almost directly continued after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so today European-American workers across the country can choose to take half a day off or work overtime, which is their right.

For European immigrants who once lived on the brink of war and on the brink of life and death, life is like paradise now, and they dare not dare to ask if this day is not fake, but they are satisfied that they can live like this forever.

As for the various policies given by the government, they feel that they are only the old men who should enjoy them, and civilians like them still work more to earn more money, and with the money, they can buy a house or buy a set of furniture that they have loved for a long time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Aiguo looked at the time, and the work at hand was not very important, so he decided to go to the European residential area to have a look.

Don't look at Zhou Aiguo is the president, Manchester City is not big, but there are not many people who know his identity, under the arrangement of the security personnel, Zhou Aiguo and a deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs entered the western European residential area of the city.

As soon as he walked into the residential area, Zhou Aiguo frowned, because the western color of the entire European residential area is too serious, whether it is the buildings on both sides of the street or the Spanish and English letters written on the walls, it seems that people have walked into a small European village in cooperation with the residents in the community.

"Minister Zhao, I think this way of living in clusters should be changed, so it is not easy for ethnic integration, and your Ministry of Civil Affairs and Immigration should consider mixing them into other communities when allocating housing."

Zhou Aiguo said that a staff member next to him immediately took out a small notebook to make a record, and this scene was quite similar to the scene of the leader's visit and inspection.

Zhao Guozhou nodded vigorously, what the president said was that we were not thoughtful, and the reason why we assigned them together at that time was to consider that it was more convenient for them to communicate from Europe, and it was also to avoid unnecessary conflicts in other communities.

Although Zhao Guozhou vigorously admitted his mistake, the latter words were to tell the reason, not that they didn't take it into account, but that they made the decision after considering other reasons.

Immigrants need to integrate, but the different living customs of various ethnic groups will cause a lot of contradictions, so this also needs to be considered.

However, looking at Zhou Aiguo's expression, he obviously did not agree with this, and frowned slightly: "The strength of a country needs the stability of the internal nation, and Australia is a country of immigrants, and the people come from various regions, so it is even more necessary to integrate." ”

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to integrate these small ethnic groups from other countries with the population of the main Han nationality, they can have their own culture and customs, but they still need to be close to the Han nationality in the ideology of the main body, otherwise after a few years, there will be a split within Australia.

As a national leader with a long-term vision, Zhou Aiguo does not want a strong Australia to be divided due to internal ethnic contradictions after the death of himself and others, and the radical way to solve this problem is to integrate all ethnic groups at the beginning, as long as the second generation is born, it will gradually change.

At that time, the children of the two nationalities will play together, go to school, and eat the same food every day, and this subtle will definitely form a new integration, and a new nation will appear in Australia at that time.

That's why Zhou Aiguo attaches so much importance to this issue, if it is only from the beginning to separate the nationalities, then the contradictions in the future will also increase.

These are not questions that a leader with a long-term vision will not think about, which is why the difference between the elderly and the young will be different.

As he continued to walk, the more smiling Zhou Aiguo's face became less smiling, because he tried to talk to several white men and women one after another, and found that the other party basically couldn't understand what he was saying, even schoolchildren.

This problem is big, Australia's immigration law stipulates that future workers must basically master Mandarin communication, and the employer can use it, and now it is obvious that some people are unqualified, maybe these people are just the families of some technical talents, and they are not hired.

But in any case, there are problems, and there are still many problems in the entire Western European community in the city, where Zhou Aiguo does not see the prescribed night schools and neighborhood committees.

"Minister Zhao, the problem of the European community in the west of the city is very serious, but the work of your Ministry of Civil Affairs has not been done properly, you have not seen the office location of the community neighborhood committee after walking for so long, and you have not seen the night school venue, which shows that you have not attached great importance to this place, and I hope you will write a specific reform report after you go back."

The president has already spoken, Zhao Guozhou knows that today's incident must make Zhou Aiguo dissatisfied, this matter is indeed a negligence on the part of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and at this time he also knows that the review is useless, just a strong nod.

Originally, Zhou Aiguo was still thinking that the problem should not be big, but he didn't expect the problem to be so big, doesn't this directly create ethnic contradictions, although some houses in the European community are funded by the government, but the infrastructure here is obviously much worse than other communities.

After an hour's visit, Zhou Aiguo basically had a very deep understanding of the situation of the entire European community, and he had decided to introduce a policy after returning home, that in the future, the distribution of residence of immigrants must be mixed, and immigrants of the same nationality should not be put together as they are now.

Soon European immigrants will usher in their first big move with Zhou Aiguo's visit.
