Chinese in the United States, the two major news this week, may relate to the future of Chinese Americans in the United States to survive and develop.

First, Congress unanimously passed the House of Representatives on the 18th for the Chinese Exclusion Act apology bill, because the Senate has passed the case, so the case will become law this apology, which is the U.S. government publicly, officially the ugly Chinese Exclusion Act apology.

Second, the Pew survey report published, the number of Asian immigrants in the first place has gone beyond the traditional Latino, became the fastest-growing ethnic group, while the Chinese accounted for the largest proportion of the Asian population, so the Chinese should be the largest growing number of immigrants ethnic one.

These two represent the two news significance, one the U.S. government in the future is no longer the same as before, it is easy to legislation limiting the rights of ethnic Chinese, the second is the largest number of Chinese immigrants will suffer due to the parties concerned. The former ensures the survival and development of the Chinese in America right will not easily be deprived, while the latter may be renewed interest in the American mainstream society Chinese immigration issues, and the emergence of Chinese immigrants want to restrict the rights of the impulse.

The United States Constitution should be said that in today's Western world the most perfect a constitution, but still can not prevent the generation of the Chinese Exclusion Act, in the nineteenth century, early twentieth century, the Chinese for the construction of the western United States has made tremendous contributions to the then Chinese building American railroad history, almost a tragic history, but with the blood and sweat in exchange for Chinese money in the U.S. home production share industry, ready to live in peace when the Chinese Exclusion Act baked.

Chinese Exclusion Act of baked behind a variety of reasons, but coined "yellow peril" is one of the key factors. Chinese hard-working, Thrift, willing to purchase the property, so a family reunion, the rise in the number of Chinese immigrants to the United States some people feel uneasy, so there will be a breeding ground for draconian. A target of racial discrimination bill is generated, it can be said that this is based on a so-called "national interest" of the bill.

Chinese Exclusion Act was not due to the abolition of the U.S. conscience, is still based on the national interests of drivers, when the United States and China are fighting fascist allies, the Chinese Exclusion Act which was repealed.

As Chinese scholars reminder, today's congressional apology, the same should not be understood as a blind American conscience. Get Congress to apologize the real reason is because the Asian American economic conditions improve, enhance the cultural quality, and political advancement.

Chinese Americans has exceeded 4 million. Survey report shows that by 2020, will become the nation's third-largest ethnic minority. Therefore, Congress apologized to the Chinese excited though, but the Chinese should be prepared. Congress can only apologize to the Chinese case as a beginning, the Chinese have to do is continue to create favorable economic conditions, more active in politics, so that all areas of the Chinese in the United States not only have its uses, but should become a mainstay. So as to eradicate let the soil produced by the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Chinese people can enjoy permanent peace in the United States.
