Key Notes
Jiang argues immigration is bad because it produces cultural clash among people with different values.
A student says immigration is brought in because a society's own culture no longer makes enough children to sustain itself.
Jiang treats immigration as only a short-term remedy for the deeper problem of civilizational decline.
A student says developed economies often rely on immigrant workers as a cheaper labor source.
Jiang replies that this amounts to importing poor people in order to exploit them, which exposes the moral ugliness of the cheap-labor defense.
Jiang agrees that race and name can block community belonging, saying immigrants such as himself in Canada are never fully accepted as insiders.
Jiang predicts the attempted beheading in Belfast marks a tipping point after which public anger in the UK will be very difficult to calm and will develop into civil war.
