Chinese flood Dutch refugee centers

Dutch media report a sudden emergence of a larger number of Chinese political refugees. In the past ten days six hundred Chinese reported themselves at the offices of the Dutch authorities in charge of refugees. Normally that would be a few Chinese at most in the same period.
The Immigration and Nationalisation service (IND) suggests in a statement that most Chinese have been living already for a longer time in the Netherlands and that a rumor in the Chinese community suggests getting policial asylum in the Netherlands has become easy. That now might be a misunderstanding.
