>I bet many Indians would swap their terrible situations for being British Subjects, free to roam the countries of what were in the British Empire, living and working where their opportunities would be greater. >

What is to bet? That is what human beings do. If there is unequal distribution of wealth, they will go where the opportunities are. The largest number of indians residing abroad is perhaps in the middle-east countries. Do they love and admire the democracy and administration of those countries? No. But there are economic opportunities. Just like the British civil servant in the nineteenth century may have hated the idea of leaving for India on a long assignment, but loved the perks and promotions that came with it.

in hk we have a lot of such

and so we are free

re china, it is not exactly open to immigration, and so folks are voting with their wallets
