What does residence visas have to do with geopolitical power?

That’s one tiny variable of many.

Should I link you an article about how US immigration hit record lows after the Covid-19 pandemic?

You'll see. China just disappeared their finance minister. Which is something that, you know, successful countries do all the time.

Where do you get that information?

Liu Kun reached official retirement age, and I can still find engagements involving him after his successor was announced.

I’m not a huge fan of China or anything but let’s stick to facts instead of conspiracy theories?
