[quote=PINETREE,227408]As we know, Chinese are spread out all over the world. U name the place & we are most likely to be there. The majority of Chinese migration started in the late 19th & early 20th centuries. Unfortunately, in most western countries & Americas these Chinese immigrants have not been properly-treated ( & talking about human rights !). I could notice this as late as several years ago - esp at the Immigration, Customs & most public places. It didn't feel good at all.Things have noticeably changed for the better - so I observed again. During a just concluded visit to CA/USA, the treatment was conspicuously different by these same groups of people. My siblings who live in these 2 countries also told me pleasingly that the situation is improving. I overhead some westerners discussing about the rising importance of China and Mandarin, too. How nice for a change !! But why ?The reason - respect has to be earned & fought for & the Chinese Govt is doing a wonderful job - not just for China. The west and Americas don't care where the Chinese are from - as long as you are Chinese or have Chinese like features. But the Chinese Govt cannot be expected to do everything.Any views ?[/quote]
