Well~ 70% to 90% of them were later proven to be true refugees. Even if it were 0%, they must be proven through appropriate due process, not just tow them back. As a legal expert says: "Asylum seekers who do not have a well-founded fear of persecution are not granted any rights under the...

I highly doubt this~ if environental protection have all been taken well, China would not be as polluted as it is now and the chinese themselves won't be protesting all across the cities. The fact that it is located in Myanmar which has less enforcement capabilities only add to the doubtness.
