I was talking about the people crossing boarder illegally. Not the entirety of Chinese nationals obtained US citizenship, which are consisted of many wealthier class and F-1 students who remained within US after their investments or study. And this also proves China’s economic growth as if people were poor, it would be difficult to invest half a million dollars or afford the tuition of studying abroad.What dip in the last 5 years?
Maybe in the last 2 because of Covid which is going to show across the board declines..not just China.
But here are the people getting naturalizations..it's not showing any signs of a downward trend over the last 20 years as China became more prosperous.

This is not a small total either..that's ~630,000 Chinese people who became US citizens...and that's not even counting those who came over and didn't.
To put just the 630,000 into perspective..that's a lot of stadiums full of people. The famous Beijing "Bird's Nest" Stadium holds only 80,000 people and this pic is a tiny slice of it.
