Chinese Americans vs. Chinese Canadians

[pbrower2a]

Chinese-Americans are as a rule well-educated people with much participation in small-scale enterprise. They may be a model minority, but they recognize themselves as vulnerable. The Republican Party in America has anti-intellectualism as a core belief, and that is contrary to Chinese-American culture. Chinese-Americans respect formal learning -- and the GOP disdains it. That's one way to lose the Chinese-American vote.

Chinese-Americans are as culturally-conservative as any ethnic group in America. But that cultural conservatism includes a heritage of honoring the scholar as a leader and as a social model.  Chinese-Americans used to be politically conservative when the GOP was hostile to Communism and supportive of formal learning. The more that people knew the more hostile they would be to the brutal reality of Marxist regimes. Many Chinese-Americans  were refugees from Communist China, and whoever was most hostile to Communism was going to get the Chinese-American vote.

Donald Trump is completely incompatible with Chinese-American values.
