hey, don’t hide behind the term hyphenated-Chinese and talk about diaspora like you are the only one who’s experienced it. As a Chinese (CN) american with a background in Asian American studies, this is all I studied for four years. You can whip out your arguments about the yellow peril, foreign imperialism, asian diaspora etc etc all you want, but guess what. your opinion still does NOT equal the opinion of CNCN. The fact that we grew up in a foriegn country, disqualifies us to speak for the CNCN group. We are Chinese people, with the culture of a hyphenated-CN, because unless we were completely removed from society, then our opinions will be biased by the group/country we grew up with and will not be the same as CNCN. Do we get to make a statement about China? Yes, but not as CNCN, because that’s a different group of people who grew up with different education, societal norms etc etc than us. 别断章取义强盗逻辑-R (not speaking for other CNCN admins, just my personal opinion as a hyphenated CN)。
