Chapter 140 Learn from Germany's practice of accepting immigrants for symbiosis

No country of medium size has been as successful in globalization as Germany.In my opinion, German nationals speak the best English in these 15 years.Nordic countries and the Netherlands, which often rank first in tests such as the TOEFL, are also under threat.One of the weapons of globalization is English, so Germans have also begun to learn English desperately. Let me say a little more about German globalization. There is an "Abitur" test in Germany, which is a qualification test for university entrance. As long as you pass this test, you can go to university at any time, so German students can take the test at any time.In other words, after they obtain the Abitur qualification, they can fly to the world and travel around the world.That's why you can see a lot of young Germans with backpacks wherever you go.

In addition, Germany is also a country with a large number of immigrants.So far, Germany has accepted a large number of Turks as foreign laborers.Today, major cities in Germany have mosques and Turkstrasse.Germany taught these Turkish immigrants authentic German and German culture, adopted a more welcoming immigration policy than any other country, and now has a Turkish member of parliament. In fact, Germans don't want to work in factories. Instead, it is Turks and other nationalities who stimulate domestic consumption and also pay taxes to Germany.Because of this, the German domestic economy has been activated, and the Germans have learned to live with them.

The above two points show that Germany already has the foundation to deal with globalization. Regarding the immigration issue, I would like to add one more point. In fact, the most basic supporters of the EU economy are immigrants from outside the old EU circle.For example, for the purpose of industrial revitalization, after Spain actively accepted immigrants from North Africa and other places, its economy has grown rapidly.Moreover, in 2005 it legalized about 80% of foreign nationals who were in the country illegally.Even if it is a trick, they have to. What would happen if immigrants were not accepted and only the nationals of the country were used to prop up the economy of a country?There is a big difference in labor costs among EU member states, so companies may continue to move their factories to Romania, a country with low labor costs.

Therefore, in an economy without borders, only by adopting a moderate immigration policy to revitalize industries, stimulate consumption, and increase population can the country survive.If such immigration policy and cultural coexistence cannot change the national consciousness of the country, then there is little hope for the prosperity of the country. We must learn this from Germany, accepting foreign cultures, accepting immigrants, and creating a symbiotic society.As for how to do it, the United States, Germany and Spain have a lot to learn from us. Of course, we cannot ignore the social problems in these countries.If Japan went to these countries to investigate the real situation of immigration, it would definitely list a bunch of problems.However, the fact that these countries are actively learning and developing cannot be ignored.Accepting different things and co-existing for mutual benefit - this is the most important learning topic in the 21st century.
