Really? "Estimates from the Office for National Statistics suggest that total net migration was 171,000 in 2025. This figure is lower than net migration levels during the 2010s and represents a sharp decline compared to the year ending March 2023, when net migration peaked at a historical high of 944,000 (Figure 2)."

So we're gonna treat 944000 as less than a million I guess? If we also count illegals, as we should since they exist and keep arriving, that year was probably around a million. Even if we don't count them - it's very close to a million.

So to sum up : 2023 alone had (almost) the entire Chinese immigrant population come into the UK.

TLDR: the original statement was false, and not justified even with cherry-picked data.

LOL. OK it was 944000 , I was off by 56000 people. You're right, the comparison to China was totally acceptable /s
