for you migration is good?
Migration is a fact of life. I'm sitting in Boston, am I not? I started off in a zero-technology mountain village near Keelung, Taiwan.
There are people, who look at the entire world as an opportunity, and decide where they want to go. My father was a nuclear engineer and the United States welcomed him. Mr. Medvedev does not understand that you have to compete for talent.
Why did all of these ethnic Chinese companies, such as Nvidia, Kingston, Marvell, co-founding of Yahoo, and many others, originate in Silicon Valley and not someplace in Russia? The reason is there is a permanent population of Chinese-Americans and there is an insignificant number of ethnically Chinese Russians.
I've heard whispers of the Chinese invasion of the Russian Far East for decades. However, nothing ever happens on the ground. Instead, all of the Chinese people are in the United States, Canada, Australia, etc. What do these countries have in common? They are all English-speaking countries.
Chinese people will not move permanently to the Russian Far East, because there are much better opportunities and friendlier environments elsewhere. Speaking personally, I have always felt welcomed by my fellow Americans. Americans are courteous and hospitable. There is an occasional nut, but they exist everywhere.
My point is the Russian Far East cannot compete with the United States, Canada, and Australia for educated or hard-working Chinese.
Where Chinese people congregate, awesome things happen. Just look at Hsinchu Park (e.g. Taiwan's Silicon Valley where 90% of the world's notebook computers were manufactured by Quanta and Compal).
Or look at Singapore, a modern First-World city with living standards equal to the United States. Where Chinese people gather, spectacular outcomes are inevitable. Look at the list of Chinese-American Nobel Prize winners.
