Unfortunately the latest iteration of the World Values Survey does not include responses to this question from either India or China, but it does sample 48 countries. Hong Kong and Taiwan are among them. They presumably shed some light on how the Han feel about open borders. They’re opposed.

The following table shows the percentages of respondents, with the 2.4% of respondents who gave a “don’t know” or no answer at all excluded, who say immigration into their country should be strictly limited or prohibited entirely (N = 66,203):

With the exception of South Korea, East and Southeast Asia are pretty restrictionist. Modern America is relatively xenophilic. Russians are not, another reason our cosmopolitan elites hate them. Germany continues to abolish itself.
