Someone born in Western Europe might well lead a life of poverty while a Japanese or South Korean person will have a great education, get a job straight out of university, and not want for material needs. Will South Korea or Japan donate their money to help such people, or allow them immigrate to their safe countries? They will not. Do you think the Chinese will?

So basically, you think we shouldn't have welfare because you're not allowed to immigrate to China.

I don't know how you got that out of what I said. I think welfare is quite good.
