Question: Are people leaving China and Russia?

12 reasons why people are flocking to the USA

Previously, I wrote the essay at The United States will be the leading power in the world for the foreseeable future.
And an article Top 10 Reasons Why People Move to the US certainly gives some legitimate reasons why people are moving to the USA.
But I would give two more which I mention below:
- There is still a lot of religious liberty in the USA.
- When compared to many countries, there is still a lot of political freedom in the USA.
China and Russia and the issue of religious liberty
China has state atheism (See: China and atheism).
Russia has less religious liberty in the USA in various respects (See: Restrictions on religious activity and/or religious persecution in Czarist, Soviet, and contemporary Russia).

On March 7, 2024 Newsweek reported:
“ | Russia has seen a sharp spike in corporate bankruptcies, according to a report that comes as Vladimir Putin looks to tax companies more to pay for his social program and the sanctions-hit economy continues to face turbulence.
The business newspaper Kommersant reported that in the first two months of 2024, corporate bankruptcies had increased by more than a half compared with the same period last year—and experts predicted an increase in insolvencies in future. Bartosz Sawicki, market analyst at Conotoxia Fintech, told Newsweek Russian firms are facing refinancing issues "as the effects of monetary tightening are starting to kick in." Kommersant said that in January and February this year, 571 and 771 companies respectively, were declared bankrupt—57 percent and 61 percent more than in the same months in 2023, citing court records in the country's Unified Federal Register of Bankruptcy Information.[2] |

A 2024 Business Insider article indicates:
“ | "Companies are experiencing problems with refinancing as the effects of monetary tightening are starting to kick in," Bartosz Sawicki, a market analyst at Conotoxia, a Polish fintech firm, told Business Insider.
Apart from war-related sectors such as arms production, the Russian economy looks "far from rosy," Sawicki said. "Although Russian companies are doing their utmost to dodge sanctions, international trade has become a significant issue for plenty of them," Sawicki wrote in an email. "The private sector also feels the pressure of macroeconomic instabilities, which deepen as the economy is on the verge of overheating," he added. It could get worse. Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime is coming under tightening Western trade restrictions, including secondary sanctions against companies doing business with the country. Putin has also pledged to give Russians billions of dollars in lifestyle upgrades weeks before they head to the ballot for the country's presidential election later this month. While it's unclear where the extra budget for Putin's promises will come from, the Russian leader has proposed changes to the tax system that are designed to result in more taxes from high-income individuals and businesses — which could put even more pressure on private companies.[3] |
