    In the US, there are a lot of xenophobic people. I live in the US now, but am really tired of this sentiment and don’t feel safe. I look forward to moving to Asia as soon as possible.

      it's Biden America thriving on warmongers business. What you see is the spilling effects on disastrous foreign policies towards trading partners.... if Asians understand that she would have gone to right / friendlier smart places outside of cities..

    I feel like Chinatown is losing its history due to gentrification in many areas in Chinatown, Manhattan NY. Soon it might be all gone with no one to carry on the old tractional path. 😢

    My Chinese wife and I - I am Caucasian American male - just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary, back in Sept. 2023. We met at an American university in the early 1970s. I had already a huge admiration for Chinese women, and I thought, well, there is a significant number of Chinese students here, so, time to launch "Operation Socialize with Chinese Maidens." Eventually, I found one who matched my mutual admiration. We fell in love. I talked her into forgetting about a university degree but to get her MRS. Degree, with me! We have children and grandchildren now. Our Catholic faith, not worship of money, has helped us a lot. Life is a mix of ignorance and misunderstandings, and occasionally truth and beautiful things come to us. We must continue to try, to keep faith, to love. I wish I could give a big hug to all the Chinese people. Protect yourselves from the bad, but understand there are good people also. Pray everyday. Work and be at peace with each day God gives you.

    Why would anyone in Asia still want to stay in the US baffles me. Unlike the past, Asia and others parts of the world is growing while US is declining, and as it declines, one is going to face even more discrimination.
