I understand the case for tariffs or even sanctions (though western nations should obviously get their own houses in order first), but how would immigration quotas make any difference? Do governments care at all where their citizens are allowed to emigrate to? I don’t see why they would.

Rich Chinese are obsessed with acquiring western passports. Making it harder will incentivize them to work harder at home to fix their country's horrible environmental record.

The CCP might see that as a favor to them if it prevents brain drain?
