If this were happening in Beijing or Shanghai, Western reporters there would be making it big-time news.
(Yes, China vastly more repressive and controlled. But they don't PRETEND to have First Amendment, habeus corpus, immigrant-asylum, etc.)
Did not expect ever to see this in my home territory.

After they were hurriedly scrapped in the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, you might have thought 'golden visas' were dead and buried. But just three years later this zombie policy looks like it might be stirring once more. Great write up by @pickardje.bsky.social
