The Fujian problem

[IllinoisDave]

Fascinating and very enlightening (for me at least) 3-part series on Fujian Province and the history behind why it has such a bad rep within the US Govt. Just click on the numbers to read parts 2 and 3.

Very interesting article, Dave. I met a woman from Fujian online before I met my wife. She spent about half of every chat apologizing for being from Fujian. I had no idea what she was talking about. Now I know....

An interesting article but it still does not tell why GZ is so anti-Fujian.

I'd bet all gov't levels involved in the immigration process are aware of Fujian's notorious history, including GUZ. It's a shame all women from there are now painted with the same brush.

 

Imagine if other countries denied visas to most US citizens from say, Texas, based on the past actions of some of it's residents, or maybe just one?

That's such a shame.
