How many Chinese are there in the United States, and what are their living conditions?

We all know that China is the most populous country in the world, but what we don't know is that China has the most immigrants in the world. It is understood that there are about 50 million overseas Chinese in the world, including about 5 million Chinese in the United States. Most of these Chinese immigrated to the United States during the war, and after several generations of reproduction, they eventually became a large-scale Chinese group. I believe most of my friends, like me, are curious about how those China people survive in the United States. Why do some people say that their survival is quite difficult? Let's take a look together.

Although there are a large number of Chinese in the United States, not many Chinese can really get American citizenship and live a relaxed life. Most people in China lead a hard life. In general, Chinese in the United States are mainly distributed in Chinatown and other areas, where a large number of Chinese gather. They mainly make a living by doing business, including restaurants, clothing and other shops. Many people may think that Chinatown should be very lively and business is good, but this is not the case. Most people in Chinatown come from China, and there are almost no foreigners in Chinatown, just like being isolated from the outside world. Foreigners generally don't come in if they have nothing to do, so the business in Chinatown is mainly supported by Chinese themselves, which shows that their situation is not as good as we thought.

Most Chinese living in Chinatown basically don't go out to apply for jobs, and their English level is average. After all, most of them are from China. In fact, I think it is essential to have an American green card if you want to live a good life in America. Green card is very important for a foreigner, because it can enjoy the same welfare benefits as American citizens. A Chinese in the United States told the truth: many Chinese in the United States are working hard for their lives. Their only goal is to get an American green card. As long as they get it, their lives will be greatly improved. They can enjoy housing subsidies, unemployment subsidies, maternity subsidies and other benefits from the US government. Almost all benefits are as attractive to foreigners as American citizens.

Many China people who have got green cards are also doing well in the United States. Of course, people who don't get a green card will be in a more difficult situation. In addition to the Chinese working in Chinatown, many Chinese will try to apply for jobs in American companies, and many Chinese will eventually fight their way out in the workplace. After all, for them, in addition to fluent English, they must also be able to understand the American workplace culture.

Finally, the headmaster summed up why it is difficult to survive in America. The reason is actually very simple. First of all, the cost of living in the United States is high and taxes are high. Secondly, it is not easy to work hard in a foreign country. Everyone must be very clear. In the end, China people who get green cards will have a much easier life than those who don't.
