Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What kind of immigrants do we actually want? dr. Alexandor Kustov
Q: What governance approaches could improve the public's acceptance of immigration policy?
Enhancing administrative capacity to process migrations and asylum claims, expanding pathways like temporary or work visas, and focusing on productive integration can reduce backlash and align policy with public expectations.
What kind of immigrants do we actually want? dr. Alexandor Kustov
Q: Why do people care about immigration in terms of national interest rather than personal economic impact?
People assess immigration through sociotropic concerns—how flows affect the country as a whole—and perceived benefits like housing, competition, and public services, rather than solely personal job market effects.
What kind of immigrants do we actually want? dr. Alexandor Kustov
Q: When you ask people about immigration, what types receive the most support and which generate opposition?
Support is strongest for high-skilled immigration across contexts, while illegal or unauthorized immigration is much less popular; many other types fall in between, with attitudes shaped by how the issue affects national interests and perceived social-tropic effects.
What does China want? | profs Kang, Wong & Chan
Q: What are the main domestic goals that drive China's foreign policy as per your analysis?
The main domestic drivers are regime stability, economic growth, and territorial integrity, with Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and other near-border issues as central concerns—these shape external behavior more than overseas expansion.
What does China want? | profs Kang, Wong & Chan
Q: What does the conventional wisdom say about China, and how do your findings differ from that view?
The conventional view is that China is a rising threat aiming to expand its power and territory to surpass the US. Our findings suggest China is more a status quo power focused on sovereignty, internal politics, and regional control, not global domination.
