Opinion: Be Prepared to See an Unprecedented Flow of Emigration from China 观点：史无前例的中国移民潮将到来

Given the most recent development in China, one should not be surprised to see an unprecedented flow of people emigrating from China in many of the residence/citizenship through investment programs around the world. The flow is delayed in part due to the Zero-Covid control measures in place, which made international travel and preparation of necessary immigration documents difficult. The high interest in emigration will manifest itself once Zero-Covid ends (the author assumes it has to end one day).

Predictions of practitioners in the investment immigration industry is the best indication: IMI Daily cited a news source, noting "China's Zero-Covid policy pushing people to emigrate abroad".

Most recently, the philosophy of "Run" (“润”) has picked up in China.

It will be a flow of not only people, but also capital. China's Foreign Exchange Reserves Dropped to Near Four-Year Low in September. Hong Kong's Linked Exchange Rate System, based on which the Hong Kong dollar is pegged in a tight ratio to the U.S. dollar, is under pressure. It may take years for the larger socioeconomic impact of emigration from China to fully emerge.
