Chinese people abroad: their government doesn't care?
A "lurker" who watches China far more than I wondered aloud that the Chinese state does not care for its nationals who live abroad.
The vast majority have personally emigrated, for a better life usually and as at least two SWC threads have touched upon how the PRC would respond:
a) How will China react to lost investments:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=14271
b) China's expanding role in Africa:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=2164
There also my "hobby horse" thread, the kith & kin factor:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ead.php?t=8829
Then recently the PRC deployed an infantry battallion to South Sudan, wearing UN "blue berets", to protect its oil workers and investments:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=21137
Is this deployment only to protect a state investment and staff?
Anyone else any thoughts or contributions?
