Yes, but never to the extent Europe has had.

China may receive some immigrants from Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Philippines, North Korea, Mongolia, etc. (ie places that were historically under the Sinosphere) but I dont see them tolerating completely alien immigrants, and particularly refugees from Africa, the Middle East, etc.

Keep in mind, Western Europe does not have the historically self imposed hermitism that China has had, most immigration, even the most alien, had some historical stipulation that made things the way they are today. This is why Maghrebis flocked to France (The Maghreb was part of the Francophone) Turks to Germany (diplomatic relations existing between Berlin and Constantinople as early as the 18th century) and Caribbeans as well as Subcontinentals in Britain (the Commonwealth).

The only outlier to this phenomena are the Scandinavian countries and their altruistic and socialist philosophies when it comes to being an asylum. I do not see a future power, Chinese or otherwise, adopting that policy, since even today's superpower, America is not that altruistic.

I think Western Europe's demographics have changed for good, and only some sort of global scale 'correcting' measure might change/setback this, sort of like how Jewish presence was minimized back in WW2.
There are more outliers to the phenomena in Europe. Netherlands is also full of magrebians and they hadnt any relation with them. The same for Italy , also full of immigrants.
You dont see now obviously,just wait some decades. Both China and India will be full of immigrants from everywhere. Even nowadays it´s enough to know english to work in India. Bangladesh illegal immigration is already quite large in the country.
Just wait. Nobody imagined in 1936 that Germany would be full of swarthy muslims 60 years later.
Oh and btw, the european immigration to China and India is way larger nowadays than 20 years ago. Tons of foreing companies are operating them and "white" people aren´t exotic in the biggest cities. And the number increases every year with the growth of their economies
