Yes but Britain explicitly pays agencies to recruit people and has medical exam centres in several large 'historically aligned' poor countries.

This is okay because it's not the government itself doing the recruiting you see, they just pay people who do it for them.

e: Though when asked directly they admitted it's not okay. They will still continue to do it though.

That is very different from immigration rules that allow qualified people to immigrate if they jump through hoops and spend bunch of money. Instead the agencies often fund them in exchange for future repayment, hence the whole slavery bit in the article (why not double-dip and screw over the migrants too).

for gently caress sake

China's been the target from the start so it's not surprising but the pacing of hosed up. I expected like two decades of steadily degrading relations but gently caress it, lets do it now. The rest of the world needs to get its act together and strangle the west because this is never going to stop.

don't forget the bankers and pharma execs (and me, none of the above but also a skilled laborer)

also it's nearly impossible to investigate/measure systemic racism in Switzerland:

"Unlike many other OECD countries, the Swiss Federal Statistical Office does not collect any data on racial identity or ethnic identity.[22] Data is collected on country of birth, but as the OECD write "In general, collecting migration-related information on the foreign-born population and their children is a crude method for capturing diversity."
