^and further more it pisses me a little since in both NZ and OZ there are a couple of members of parliament in both countries who migrated from China to the respective countries and entered politics. No reciprocity though for any of us foreigners that come to Ch!na who may have some political aspirations. Forget it! Tit-for-tat... but then that would lower "us" down to "their" level. Bloody annoying though.
Mind you Ch!na is not alone in such discriminatory practices, there are others. Just gets to me at times that there is this and lots of other forms or discrimination here.
