This is absolutely not true for "majority." A significant minority of them, this is probably true about, but a cursory review of how Chinese-Americans arrived to this country will probably dispel this rumor fairly quickly.
- barry-cotter 6y ago54% of Chinese Americans have a Bachelor’s or higher, 50% for foreign born. Things have changed in the last 30 years. Trust me when I say 50% of Chinese in China do not have a university degree. https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/fact-sheet/asian-americans-chinese-in-the-u-s/ https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/fact-sheet/asian-americans-c...
