So it's China, not Chinese immigrants who spy and steal?
He doesn't address it at all in this article. He says of the immigrants:
>But that’s absolutely not a reason to treat Chinese immigrants as invaders or spies. In fact, quite the reverse — the fact that Chinese citizens would rather live and work in America than in the country of their birth is a powerful endorsement of our system and an indictment of China’s system.
- mistrial9 4y agoThis is lost on a lot of Americans. Many older, recent immigrants from China on the US West coast are not fans of the PRC government, and enjoy US home ownership and financial independence here, despite language challenges. It is raw prejudice to judge people and their intentions based on language and skin color.
- notch898a 4y agoI think you're absolutely right but I can understand how some people might get that impression from some propaganda I've seen. I used to live in Chicago and right smack in the middle of Chinatown there was an absolutely massive billboard supporting the chinese communist party. Most everything else in this part of the city has been graffiti'd so it left quite an impression that not only was the billboard there but it was taken care of to the point any graffiti was not left standing. It's one of those things where the jaw just hits the floor to look at it on US soil.

- kevinmchugh 4y agoWhen was this? I drive through (Chicago) Chinatown a few times a month and am curious if I've never noticed it or can't read it. I see Falun Gong protestors out many weekends and Shen Yun had billboards and ads all over

- cantSpellSober 4y agoDo you have any evidence of the one billboard you saw a decade ago, or this is just purely anecdotal? (I think you confused it with Shen Yun)

- tptacek 4y agoThat's the logic that led to Korematsu.
- FrontierPsych 4y agoI'm not sure what you are saying. It sounds like you are equating what I am saying to creating concentration camps for chinese. Which would be bizarre logic on your end.
- tptacek 4y agoI'm not equating anything. I am simply saying that the logic you're employing was also employed in Korematsu.
