23日,一则“跨洋高考移民”的新闻引起热议。据报道,非京籍高中生张图学习优秀但却没有在京参加高考的资格。张图妈妈已是美国公民,她称美国可以直接给张图国籍。而张图父亲查看政策发现,外国侨民可直接参加中国高考并享受加10分优惠。

　　对此，你怎么看?

　　One high school student in Beijing is finding his own way around China's college entrance exam policy, requiring students to return to their home province for the test.

　　Zhang Tu is the son of migrants, but rather than take the test in his home province, he is applying for US citizenship with the help of his mother who is an American citizen.

　　As a US citizen, Zhang Tu will be able to both take the exam in Beijing as well as be treated to lower score minimums to gain entry into college.

　　Rui Yuan says on nandu.com,

　　American citizenship is playing the role as Zhang Tu's savior. That a change to one's identity can bring such a dramatic change to one's destiny is just so incredible.

　　News commentator He Gang says on jlwb.net,

　　Obviously it's a prejudice against Chinese people. Why Chinese are not entitled to enjoy the right of attending college entrance examination in Beijing but foreigners are and can be enrolled at a lower score? Everyone should be born equal. This is totally unfair.

　　Columnist Wang Yahuang says on cb.com.cn,

　　Some people define Zhang Tu's final availability in taking the college entrance examination in Beijing as a success in "attending local gaokao without a Beijing hukou". But I don't agree. By the time Zhang Tu takes the exam, he's already a foreigner. His identity has changed. It's completely different from the case of Chinese people taking the exam in Beijing with a local hukou.

　　Jiang Jing says on wccdaily.com.cn,

　　Zhang Tu's success in taking the college entrance exam in Beijing as a foreigner will set a very bad precedent for other people. In such a case, there will be increasingly more Chinese in pursuit of foreign citizenship so as to get rid of the reins brought by the Chinese hukou system.

　　Notes:

　　* Zhang Tu is a top student in his school, which is one of the key high schools in Beijing. Every year, 70 to 80 students are enrolled into top universities including Tsinghua University and Peking University. If Zhang Tu could take the college entrance exam in Beijing, he would surely be enrolled into one of the top Chinese universities.

　　* Zhang Tu's step-mother is a local resident in Beijing. That's the reason why he was qualified for a local high school. Otherwise, for a student both of whose parents are migrant workers, it's impossible under the status quo to attend a high school in Beijing.

　　* Zhang Tu is 16 years old so far.

　　* According to Xinhua News Agency, Beijing has a population of 20 million of which 7 million are migrants. The population of migrant children in Beijing from grade one to nine has reached 419,000, accounting for 40.9 percent of all students.

　　Wu Jiang says on njnews.cn,

　　Zhang Tu didn't want to become a foreign citizen in the first place. He was forced to do so. The reality has left him with no better choice. If a country's policy in a certain field forces its citizens to give up their nationality, we should admit that such a policy is a failure.

　　Li Yan says on bandao.cn,

　　China's Ministry of Education issued a regulation as early as 2009 to totally ban the phenomenon of "gaokao immigration". According to the rule, overseas Chinese intending to take the college entrance exam must hold a foreign citizenship for at least four years and reside in the corresponding country for at least two years. According to this rule, Zhang Tu is not available for next year's exam at all. But the problem is: local exam authority in Beijing seems to never follow this rule. In Beijing, overseas Chinese only need to show their credentials as foreign citizens, and they will be allowed to take the exam.

　　Overseas AQ says on weibo.com,

　　Zhang Tu's mother says his son will be granted the US citizenship instantly after applying. I don't agree. According to the Child Citizenship Act in the US, a child must live in the legal and physical custody of the American parent and get a green card to be granted US citizenship. But Zhang Tu's parents have long been divorced. He lives in the custody of his father. And he doesn't have a green card at all. So it will take a much longer time for him to get US citizenship. I don't think he can make it before his high school graduation in 2014.
