Chinese people are rushing to emigrate to one of the world's poorest countries, and netizens are asking whether it's worth it

In Africa there is a country that is one of the poorest in the world, very primitive, with an economy based mainly on agriculture and fishing, relying on the weather to make a living, with a very low per capita income, but this country, which is several times poorer than remote rural areas in Yunnan and Guizhou, has become a hot commodity for Chinese people emigrating abroad.

Guinea-Bissau has a land area of 36,125 sq km, is located in Africa, its capital is Bissau, its official language is Portuguese, and its population is 1.82 million (2016). The Fulani, Balanta and Mandinka are its main ethnic groups, Islam is its main religion, and it has a tropical maritime monsoon climate. Women here give birth to an average of 7 children, and because the living environment is harsh, the mortality rate is also very high; average life expectancy here is only about 46 years.

So why would Chinese people want to emigrate to such a country? The answer is the college entrance examination!

As everyone knows, it is far easier for foreign nationals to get into Tsinghua and Peking University than it is for domestic students taking the college entrance examination, so many Chinese people discovered this path: it turns out that with a passport from a poor African country, getting into Peking University is just that easy. Especially after Tsinghua University announced that foreign candidates could enter Tsinghua "without examination," passports from poor African countries like Guinea-Bissau suddenly became a "hot commodity"!

According to reports, emigrating to Guinea-Bissau costs as little as 38,000 yuan at minimum, and for a family of three the minimum processing cost is only 65,000 yuan. This program is directly authorized by the Guinea-Bissau Immigration Bureau, all procedures are very fast, and at the fastest it can be completed in just 7 days.

Netizens said in response: giving up Chinese nationality just to get into Peking University is not worth it. Other netizens said that international students get subsidies every year, so this deal is very worthwhile.
