There are now more than 4 million Chinese people living in the United States. Surprisingly, most of these immigrants came in the last few decades, starting in the '60s. Immigration laws, wars and social unrest were big factors in determining who got to leave China and when they ended up in the United States.

Really appreciating all the efforts AJ+ has been putting to Asian communities.
the video series show the hate and resentment against Chinese mainlanders
A group of people we honestly don't give enough credit too.
Mister X What are you talking about? You do realize that Asian people are honestly close to never being in movies, shows, magazines, etc? They're barely represented. If it wasn't for the sudden spark for Asian boybands and animation then you'd forget Asian people ever existed in the U.S. It's not Anti anything. Just because people aren't talking about white people and to be more specific white Americans all the time doesn't mean that anyone is against them. If huge platforms and other networks were to be more diverse then maybe you wouldn't even be saying this.
Please ,I want you to tell me.
Do Asian people living in the United States and Canada keep local manners?
(Asians run away without paying money at restaurants.)
(Noises loudly everywhere.）
How many Asians with such bad manners?
I have no experience of leaving Japan.
Therefore, please let me know.
+jabbafo
I am embarrassed because I am an East Asian.
I'm sorry.
Chinese hate Japan.
Korean hate Japan.
However, Chinese and Korean people coming to Japan are increasing year by year.
I think that the burden on the US and Canada will be reduced considerably after 10 years.
My great grandpa is Chinese from Jamaica. I know, strange. Shout outs to my distant Chinese cousins.
You can come to China to meet your Chinese cousins.Welcome ！
@@hongmei6018 are you cute
Crazy VLOGS ur weird
@@hongmei6018 I can but not now considering all the racism going on in China against black people.
Say hello to your family~
The fact that overseas Chinese thrive in almost any part of the world is a testament to their adaptability and hard work ethic despite having the odds against them
oy vey, but wat'bout the blakc!? we wuz kangz n shite.
Unlike the blacks. I will trade for a Chinese person.
That could be said of anyone.
What odds are against them? they got a brain
Where else have they thrived besides america and Britain?
So beautifully done. Thank U for this Dolly, AJ+!
I'm using this for a school project. Realllllyyyy helped thanks💕💕
Love @dollyli'S storytelling in all of the series. Great stuff! I feel I learn more from the videos, rather than watching a feature-length documentary about the same topic.
Congratulations on a very well made mini-documentary series. Very professional and is broadcast quality. Enjoyed it very much.
i had to watch this video for school, and it was super helpful! keep up the good work
Thank you for making such an educational and amazing video! Keep up the excellent work.
I always feel more connected to my history as a Chinese-American when I watch these kinds of videos.
uh... what the
Do you identify as an American? Is your loyalty to America or China?
Get back to your roots! Our history is important
we are family and have common enemy
dont be banana
Thanks so much! This was very well done.
I LOVE THIS. PLEASE MAKE MORE!! More about the Chinese Diaspora in the Caribbean & in Latin America and how they contributed to cuisine and culture there :')
Chinese in China America is for Americans
Great video! I would love to see you do one about asians and the media, including the late '00-early '10s RUclips boom
Keep up the good work! This is awesome!
I love your videos Dolly, keep them coming please!
I always learn something new about certain cultures and history this is really cool
Great video history on a very short time period I loved it...
This was such a great series!
really informative! thank you
Thanks. I came to the U. of Texas in 1969 from Viet Nam (VN) for education. From 1969 to 1978, it was a hardship because discrimination in Texas. I got a job offer in California in 1978. Life is much better in California. Thx for your program.
I personallly have no problems with Chinese folks. I don't know very many in Dallas, Tx, but the few I have met seem nice. Unfortunately racism is really a hot issue in US right now. I really think the ONLY way people will chill out over it is if we encounter extra-terrestrials from some weird planet. Then we will all realize that we are one human family. We are a cosmic family. I wish we could all wake up to this truth and stop our incessant, shallow and petty bickering .
Yeah til they arrest you and make you a slave, wake up, take a look around, the world sucks and injustice is EVERYWHERE!
what about the Muslim
Mr Lord, Plano TX has the 6th largest Chinese American population in the US at 5% of the general population. We are planning to move to the area from Boston. Texas no. 1!
This is why humanity has no hope☝️☝️☝️☝️👆👆👆👆👍👍👍👍
People, just live by these 4 principles:
Continually strive to be better until you attain perfection
Be a good person to others, regardless of race, religion, creed, etc
Aim for your version of success
Be happy
The world would benefit greatly from this
@@Adam2Boa you're trash

Hello
The concept of paper sons (immigrating under an assumed name) and the forced separation, detention, and interrogation of Chinese immigrant families on Angel Island Immigration Station need to be highlighted in a future video.
I grew up in Cupertino, CA; there are many new Chinese folks who moved from China for educational opportunities and jobs. Unfortunately many of them drive extremely recklessly and discriminate the Asian American folks thinking we're less superior because we're not as "rich" as them. Hopefully things will change. Chinese folks are cool!
Paul Tran BRUH, from what I've heard they discriminate against the Chinese Americans who came before them too. Da heck
paul, true that. The rich chinese kids are too spoiled. Same thing in canada too.
Paul Tran
NSA CIA MK ultra paid troll ALERT. You are a fake Chinese.
Inderjit Singh
I am from Canada and I don't see that at all. And you are not even Indian.
Paul Tran im an asian American myself and i would of punk those fools if they try to showoff and act all mighty.
dang right there @3:50
that is bruce lee's era
Please make video about filipino immigration and diaspora in the US too...
More please
All my Grandparents immigrated to the U.S. in the 1920 's . One family to Sacramento and the other
family to C.T. , L.A. My mom's Family were Chinese Vegetable Farmers in Buena Park area , same as their livelihood back home .
My Dad's father worked for Southern Pacific Railroad in Sacramento until retirement.My Grandpa in L.A.was President of the Wong Family Association......BING KONG TONG
in CHINATOWN , L.A. My father served 2 years in the Koream War , and then worked at the for the USPS until retirement. My mom was a stay at home mom , raising 7 children.
Sacramento River area reminds the Chinese immigrants of the PEARL RIVER and DELTA in Southern China , of the communities, water , farm land , weather of the home they left. Many were Fruit Farmers all along the Sacramento ..
Delta area . This my journey ,.., of a 2nd generation ABC . , from the city ,
Toisan , Guangdong Province .
Hi! Answer me
Please
So interesting. Kind off topic but there are Chinese immigrants in so many countries, including Mexico. I was shocked as a Mexican american, you learn fun new things everyday about immigration.
Ah-Chang you very much!
Lol i took a "23 and me"test after 36yrs i found out i have a lot of chinese, and i also have a half bro😮😮😶👌🈴️🥢🥡
It's great to see such a fair and objective look at the Chinese diaspora in America. Keep up the good work!
Show me something about Chineses in San Francisco and New York Chinatown....
I have been in both
But didn' t see much...
actually,People all over the world want to go to America, because this is the most powerful and rich country in the world，not only chinese.
how did Al Jazeera come around too produce and fund this?
just curious
Fund? You mean pay the animator?
My mom was one of those people who came to USA and study at the 80s
4:31 what tiananmen square crackdown?
I love how a lot of the history of Black Americans (civil rights movement, etc) is interconnected with the history of Asian-Americans. Black Americans and Asian American have a long history together in America that is unfortunately unknown to the most of the current generations since it’s not taught in schools.
Girl no
Love it!=D
Man these videos are awesome. Can you guys please do a video like this but for the Indian American Community??
please add a video transcript.
My ancestors came to the in 1870-1880s. Drought in China, the damage from the Opium Wars destroyed local economy of Southern China.- so there was a great deal of unemployment in southern China. Until the Chinese Exclusion Act ... chinese could immigrate to the USA albeit a chinese immigrant could not be a naturalized citizen ...because of the 1790 Naturalization Act and its following extensions which was not repeal until 1952... Until 1952 only chinese descent persons born in the USA could be a US Citizen ... (this upheld by in the supreme court case Wong Kim Ark vs US in 1898)... I am a 4th generation American Born Chinese ....most of the chinese who left china from 1840 to 1888 came from Guangdong province and the seaports of Fujian province ... The earliest Chinese contacts with the outside world was done during the Zheng He Treasure ship campaigns around 1430s... Some Chinese who left the Manchu rule Qing Dynasty China did not go to Gold Mountain but went to South America, Central America, the philippines, Singapore/malaysia, indonesia, and Hawaii .. After the Opium Wars I and II - China was the sick man of Asia.

It sounds like their should be a MLK statue in every Chinatown in America
mac berry absolutely
I live in California there's a lot of Chinese people here in California.
Thank you so much for doing this. The story of the Chinese-American mirrors that of the Chinese-Canadian in many ways, including the Exclusion Act and immigrant quotas. I wasn't at all interested in this stuff as a kid, since I was far more interested in "being Canadian," but I've really started to explore this more as an adult.
@tiluu lmao 😂
I teach in China. Can you add Chinese subtitles. A lot of mainlanders don’t know this history. I know they’d find it interesting.
Please tell the kids in the mainland that Americanized Chinese food is not "fake Chinese food". I hate it when FOBs come over to the US and tell people that Chinese food in America is fake. They fail to realize the history behind it and the contribution that people made to the culture of American Chinese food. It has gone through a rich evolution since the first Chinese arrived in the 1850s. Just as how Chinese food in the mainland had went through its own evolution since 1850 to now. There are countless Chinese diasporas throughout the world each having a unique story along with their refined ways of cooking.
what was the fourth wave?
Why is Chinese Government so strict, insecure and act psychotic
According to your last bit, since 1990, Chinese no longer want to migrate to U.S. What does this tell us about China or U.S.?
Great program. I would like to see a review about the illegally immigration through The Darien Gap (Panama) by Chinese people.
got some Chinese ancestry myself. interesting videos. keep up the good work
Niceeeeee
I stay permanently in USA because of discriminatory policy and re-entry denial of the country in Asia where I was born, grew up and educated. In paradox a lot of their citizens migrate to USA. The country encourage migation of their citizens to US for economic reason and while it pursue very strict immigration policy. It is nice for their citizens to migrate to US and other countries but not the other way around.
Shout out to Hoi San Ngin!
This is helpful i love this video. that touches my soul for the Chinese immigrants living in the United States that era period and now CCP corrupting it's own country.
and you didn't interview me.....
How come POC never bring up Asia
Because of current situations. The majority of immigrants from China, India and Pakistan are generally already wealthy before they move or are highly educated. India makes up the largest number of HB-1 visas dwarfing every other country except China who is close behind them.Also the very contro EB-5 Visa, which essentially lets you buy your way to be a legal resident is massively overrepresented by China. They make up 90% of all EB-5 visas. I can't speak for all cities but where I am from, in the metro area there is not much interaction between Asian communities and other POC communities. Black and Hispanic communities often live in the same area and interact regularly, whereas you rarely see the Asian community there
4:31 u mean didn't happen?
Do you know the story about any Southeast Asian and how they came to America
Read Joseph Stillwell and the American Experience in China by Barbara Tuch man you Chinese Americans...
most hong kong people left for uk as it was a british colony
@ 2:05 she says,... "so the very people who were fighting alongside the Americans, were not even allowed to come into the country". The Chinese exclusion act should [probably] have never been passed (or even introduced). But Americans were in China, fighting for China, -not the other way around. So the argument is a false dialectic. And since we had just endured the great depression and were then entering another World War, you could not have expected Congress to take up the matter until after the war (of repealing or modifying the Chinese Exclusion Act).
Chinese people should come to the U.S. and start their own community's and apartments here like the other Asian's have
They do. It’s called Chinatown.
Asian American !! 👍🇺🇸 Every states have a China town and Korea town!
U can always go back there is no wrong time to do the .......thing...
Mexican Taco Trucks and Chinese massage parlors in each corner
Chinese can't stay in china
Chinese diaspora is actually a long process, in which might often involved thirds countries, and finally destination USA. Many Chinese are first in Southeast Asia or even India during WWI- WWII, and often time feel excluded/persecuted by the local political power when anti-Chinese sentiment rise.
Hello Lisa
I love chinese food.
The problem is that Chinese immigration is now so out of control that it is leading to problems throughout North America, Europe and Australia. Here in Canada cities such as Vancouver are almost exclusively Chinese.
Canada doesn’t belong to white people. Only native Americans can say “Those immigrants are having direct effects on our country”
So you hate some one better than you?
@@warcraftSENSw Not at all, some of my best friends are Chinese but even they say that Chinese immigration is becoming a problem.

chinese ppl came to US for taking photos of IPHONE
You first know the death toll of World War II, and then explain the relevant contents of China.
Too much head movement.
Both White and Black people are unable to distinguish the Chinese identity. In the US Korean are mistaken as Chinese. Let us use the race coloured code. The European shares similar features. How did the European became American? These European do discriminate each other. The Italian is Deigo. The Polish are Pollack. The Irish are Catholic. What about the English? Most English migrants dropped their race and called Limey instead.
There is confusion over people with features similar to people from China. So as a community Chinese is yellow people. Indian people are brown.
America has never really been all that great to immigrants which is odd to me. We have a horrible way of hating an ethnic group, and then welcoming them all the while hating a 'new' ethnic group. Look how the Irish and Italians were treated when they first came over. This tradition needs to end, and I feel that it is given that the control of information has been relaxed. No longer can you easily hide how horribly people were treated.
Chill.
who is your enemy?
Chinese : American
where do you want to move to?
Chinese : US
From extreme poverty population to a low income family. They just renamed it
Indians are also considered Asian
Obviously
The violence is the most on second count,Light pollution from both ways
I like Dolly she so fly !
Why is this on
What's wrong with her head? Stop moving it with every syllable
Since when has USA become China country??I'm partly American and just to be told I'm not a native??
Dude where is the 4th wave
I think china will soon clamp down on emigration and try to slow it, they are looking a demographic crisis because low birth rates mean an ever aging population, they will try to stop people leaving
They love democracy
No shit.
3.79 million chinese nd 3.19 million indian live in us
You guys all need to go back to china
I’m Chinese Australian..my grandparents came from Guangdong province..a lot of Chinese in Australia is the same as America..
Do you support CCP or loyal to Australia
@@Student0Toucher theres nothing, wrong being asian america.
I don't know how my parents ended up in Arizona lol
