Chinese-Americans See Arrival of Chinese Immigrants as Good for the US – General Public Disagrees
A poll was conducted of 354 Chinese Americans who were chosen at random nationwide by from a surname list.
They were asked a series of questions about their attitudes toward China and their views on China and US-China Relations.
Question 22:
Do you believe that the arrival of Chinese immigrants is a positive development, a serius threat, or neither for the U.S.?
Almost half of Chinese-Americans (48%) see the arrival as a positive development.
Only 29% of the General pubic would agree.
5% of Chinese-Americans saw a threat to the arrival of Chinese immigrants. Whereas, more than three times that (17%) of the general public perceive Chinese immigrants as serious threat to the US.
What are the Chinese immigrants going to do? Work hard?
What do you think?
These survey results were taken from a poll conducted by the Committee of 100.
The Committee of 100 is a national, nonpartisan organization composed of prominent American citizens of Chinese descent. The members of this group pool their resources to address important issues that concern the Chinese/American community but, imho, more importantly foster better US-Greater China relations.
Recently, this group tasked the polling firm ZOGBY to conduct an extensive survey of American Attitudes Toward China.
They polled the General Population (General Public) as well as Chinese Americans. Business leaders, Opinion leaders and Congressional staffers, subsets of the general public were also polled.
In keeping with the Committee of 100 ideals I hope it will create discussion and be used to better understand U.S.-China relations and help those concerned to formulate recommendations on how to improve relationships between these two great countries.
