It was something CNN was talking about a few months ago. Naturally people emigrate and immigrate all the time, but the way Chinese people were getting to America was a central part of the story. Naturally you never get closure in these stories.

    I might be high and this may have been said before. But I think migration/immigrant stories are a form of soft propaganda that says "See greedy American? Everyone else is fighting to come here so stop complaining because we have it good".

    Them focusing on Chinese immigrants fit the current sinophobic narrative.
