Starting May 15, the Beijing police will serve in a 100-day campaign to crackdown on foreigners who live, work and enter China illegally. That's according to the Beijing Public Security Bureau. Media report that officials in several Chinese cities, like Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, and Yanbian in Jilin province, are rolling out similar actions. Are these actions isolated moves or rooted in a deeper social, cultural and legislative context? Is the increase of illegal immigrants a symbol of China's rise as a land of opportunity?
据北京市公安局,自5月15日起,北京警方将展开为期100天的专项行动,集中清理在华非法居留、就业以及入境的外国人。据媒体报道,一些地区如成都、吉林省延边都展开了类似的行动。这些行动究竟是个别现象,还是有着深层的社会、文化、法律背景?“三非”人员问题显现,是否意味着中国崛起成为机会之地?
