Without passing judgement, is this not just measuring the desire not be lumbered with the negative connotations of their respective countries? And possibly also showing a desire and entitlement to be able to move to a better off country?<p>We have something similar at a different level here. People in Salford (a not well thought of connurbation of Manchester, UK) are &#x27;from Manchester&#x27;, where as people from Didsbury are &#x27;from Didsbury&#x27;.<p>That said China being on that list does surprise me.
