#1 Infiltrators for a government or trying to open a resturant?

#3 p: Kosher Chinese mind you.

Don't laugh - they'd probably end up working in kosher Chinese restaurants.

#4 I've eaten in a couple of Kosher Chinese restaurant's (TO and NY). Decent food as I recall. Maybe MSG isn't Kosher.

#5 WTF? Why would Chinese want to sneak into Israel? Could it be that Iran sold somebody some Chinese weapons and now the buyer needs some help with the technical details?

#6 Mike N, assuming that's a serious question. Israeli per capita income is high as are wage rates. A decent restaurant would be a nice little earner and pay it's illegal workers way more than they get in China.

#7 MN: WTF? Why would Chinese want to sneak into Israel?

China is one of the poorest countries in East Asia - which is why toys that used to say "Made in Thailand" now say "Made in China". And most of East Asia is poorer than Israel.

#8 Of course NW China has lots of Muslims...
There is always that angle.

#9 Uighars should be so lucky as to make it to Israel : the Han Chinese are very carefully wiping out any Uighars that show any level of confrontation. The Chinese may support Islamic regimes when they can get oil from them, but any Islamic leanings will get you shot in China.

#10 One NYC Kosher restaurant was named "Ghengis Cohen." So why not?

#12 as info Israel has guest workers from the far east, mainly thais (and I suppose Chinese), IIUC, so there is a community they could blend into. The Israelis started importing asian and east european guest workers, when Pal labor was cut off by the 2nd intifada and associated border closures. There havent been poor Jewish sources of immigratant labor since the Yemenite and Moroccan Jews have gone middle class.
