The few Chinese immigrants I’ve met can either be really anti-communist or just apolitical. Some move because of “repression”, some moved because they were fooled like a lot of other immigrants that the “streets are paved with gold” or in other words basically a guarantee of success.
My in-laws are not really political at all. It’s funny because whenever I discuss politics with them, I can bring up my dirty commie ideals and they don’t really bat an eye at it. Other families I can think of in my dating history? Good lord; I’d be skinned.
As an immigrant I can tell you for a fact that a lot of immigrants tell stories of repression to get into the good graces of Westerners. I have heard people say shit that was absolutely untrue. I am not Chinese or Cuban, but I have heard it from others.
Yep. Many westerners already manage to be racists without having an excuse. An immigrant with views considered anti-west is going to be ostracized if they are lucky.
I’ve largely interacted with students and can say that my experience is the reverse. They have been either apolitical or quite pro-communism/pro-China.

I swear, I’ve never met someone of Chinese descent in the US (citizen or not) who ever even opines about communism the way Cubans do.
