Reasons for Chinese Emigration
Reason for modern Chinese emigration

August the 7th 2013

2

Several studies state a same perspective that, in China, 80 percent of social wealth is palmed in the 20 percent people’s hands. And yet, most of the happy few have or had (already gone) the desire to emigrate. “Among those mainland business owners who possess over 100 million RMB (about $ 16 million), 27 percent have already emigrated, while another 47 percent are considering emigrating.” ( the Atlantic: why China’s Rich Want to Leave 2013-4-11) The loss of wealth lead to serious a problem: maybe after 20 years, China will become the world’s poorest countries. Why the rich, highly educated citizens in China want to leave their motherland where they were born and bred, where most of their wealth come from?

In the article “reasons for Chinese Immigration to the U.S.”, written by Mark Orwell (as cited in eHow ), the author states that, the reasons for Chinese emigration lie in the following aspects: Economics, Career Options and Social Issues. First, although most of the modern Chinese emigration do not have a economic problem, Chinese emigration workers tend to earn more compared in China to support themselves. Second, as for career options, the U.S. like other developed countries can provide more opportunities for the highly educated individuals to further their study especially in the technology and engineering fields, therefore it explain why there are increasingly more Chinese scientists and engineers choose to emigrate. At last, as one of the few communist countries, Chinese government has a firmly concentrated control on its citizens which means a limited space for the personal growth, not to mention the riot and high crime rates.

    The book called Age of Ambition written by Evan Osnos, a writer of The New Yorker, exposes Chinese citizens are living in a battleground between authoritarianism and aspiration. He also describes the greatest conflict taking place in China–“The clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party’s struggle to retain control.” (Osnos) Evan Osnos states his idea in the book, “An account of the collision of two forces: aspiration and authoritarianism, shows a China river by moral crisis and explosive frustration, whose citizens are desperate to achieve wealth, even as they are terrified of being left with nothing. It is also a riveting and troubling portrait of a people in a state of extreme anxiety about their identity, values and…

    I would like to research Chinese immigrants living in my home-town of Flushing, New York. The reason why I’ve chosen to research this particular culture is because I have been a part of it for as long as I can remember, and I wish to gain further knowledge from my studies. Some concepts that I would like to discuss are, acculturation of Chinese immigrants in to American culture, reasons for immigrating, how Chinese immigrants choose to identify themselves, and how Chinese immigrants have economically adapted through the use of personal resources.…

    The motivations for the Chinese to come to the United States are similar to most immigrants. These motivations are what most people call "The American Dream." These could be looking for a better life, having a better job, running away from political issues. However, for Chinese these American dreams were not too easy to achieve at first compared to other immigrants. Chinese suffered a lot more obstacles and discriminations because they are relatively small and easy to be targeted on. Even more the legal system passed a law in 1963 forbidding Chinese to testify against white men in court. This anti-Chinese action was most critical in the Pacific Coast; as a result, it caused the dispersion of Chinese that had settled in California to the mid-western and eastern states.(Chicago-Chinatown, 1996)1…

    After the Transcontinental Railroad was constructed, the fate of the Chinese took a dive for the worse because in 1882, the United States of America created the Chinese Exclusion Act. The Chinese Exclusion Act was established to end Chinese immigration and shut the “golden gates” of America. Prior to 1882, the Chinese were viewed as tolerable and hard working, but as soon as the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed, people recognized the Chinese as dirty, lazy, and unworthy to be in America. As James Blaine said,…

    However, the work ethic that Chinese immigrants displayed were unrivaled to any other group. The Chinese took on a wide variety of occupations that needed to be filled in order to complete necessary jobs, which assisted in the growth of the economy as a whole. By 1880, a fifth were engaged mining, another fifth in agriculture, a seventh in manufacturing, a seventh were domestic servants, and a tenth were laundry workers ("Chinese Immigrants and the Building of the Transcontinental Railroad"). All together, Chinese immigrants worked over twenty different jobs, which is a clear indication of their importance across all sectors of the economy in the West as whole. Perhaps the most definite characteristic of the Chinese’s’ work ethic was their dependability and ability to complete the task at hand. Many Chinese immigrants had taken jobs that nobody else wanted or that were considered to be too dirty, but nonetheless had to be completed. The Chinese worked in mines, swamps, construction, and in factories, which have the potential to be extremely dangerous and not easy to accomplish. Additionally, Chinese men took bad wages because their families lived in China where the cost of living was low. As a result, they were invaluable to manufacturers because the reduced cost of labor saved them money (Tsai 1986). If it…

Before the 1800 came around United State could hardly handle the controlled the immigration that were coming to America. However, the United State ended up passing the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 to help the new era of immigration control. A lot of the Asian Americans settled in Hawaii and California coming from Korea, Vietnam, Hmong and China. They have arrived in America as unskilled workers who didn’t know much about America or what to do but they did know that they what’d a change by going somewhere else. Chinese had two push factors that made them what move away from China. The first reason was because of the economic hardship what was going on how China was treated their workers very rural.

    Sinophobia was compounded when the government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This government action not only outlawed Chinese immigration and naturalization for 10 years, but it led the American people to further discrimination; any thought that the discrimination was unjust and unfounded was alleviated through the governmental act. At the end of the act’s 10 year run, it was continued another 10 years, and, the practice continued into the 20th century. On December 17, 1943, the Magnuson Act repealed the Exclusion Act. Repealing the act allowed growth and assimilation of the Chinese…

    Every person who lives in America is either an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant. Though we may not consider it, it is a fact that everyone here has come from some other place. The majority of immigrants have come to America voluntarily. Seeking a change they envisioned America as country thriving with different opportunities. For the immigrants it was a chance at a better life, not only for themselves, but for their children. It is estimated that over sixty million people have immigrated to America and it is this immigration that has built America into a "melting pot." America is a country thriving with varies ethnic, cultural, religious, and economic identities. It is this "melting pot" that makes America so unique and cherished by those who live here. On the other hand there are unpleasant aspects of immigration, which include the hardships faced in order to reach America and the struggle to gain acceptance. During 1850 to 1930, immigration was increasing and was welcomed in order to supply the demands of the Industrial Age. Chinese immigrants came to America in search of labor, thus proving to be hard, diligent laborers, only to be discriminated against and treated unjustly.…
