Hello, a friend asked me to forward this question. He said there are many citizens from the People's Republic of China (PRC) who are willing to volunteer as fighters since months ago, some of them are highly skilled military veterans. One of the Lions of Rojava Facebook admins told them that they have to get a VISA from KRG to land at Erbil or Sulaymaniyah airport, and said this is a requirement by the KRG for China citizens. They applied for VISA at KRG consulates in China, were told that their applications were under review by the KRG's Internal Affair department, but never got a reply after waiting for many months. If not because of this restriction, they have already came to Rojava. That was the reason why the only Chinese volunteer with the YPG was a UK citizen. Is it possible to work out a better way for China citizens to come over? China is doing reasonably well in technology and industry, many are keen to lend a helping hand in their skills, and perhaps financially also. Thanks.
