Are there any Americans from China in the US Army? Is there a promotion ceiling?

When it comes to China and Chinese-Americans joining the US military, we have to start with the upsurge of Chinese-Americans joining the army during World War II. During the period from 1882 to 1943, the United States implemented the Chinese Exclusion Act to prohibit Chinese from becoming naturalized. No matter how long they stay in the United States, many China people have no sense of belonging to the United States. They always think that they are from China and always care about what happens in their own country. However, after the Japanese invasion of China, that is, less than 20 days after the "918" incident, the American Overseas Chinese Aviation School organized by the American Overseas Chinese opened in Portland, Oregon. Chinese Americans not only have money to pay, but also work hard. Many people were recruited into the US military, which became the first beginning for Chinese Americans to join the army.

In fact, at the beginning of World War II, there were about 80,000 Chinese in the United States and Hawaii. During the war, about 12000 to 15000 China people served in the US military, distributed in various battlefields of the Second World War. In fact, the proportion of Chinese who join the army in the United States is higher than that of other ethnic groups, but even so, Chinese who join the army have not won the universal respect of American society.

American recruiters can only try their best to attract young people to join the army. Their biggest killer is to open the door to naturalization for new immigrants. According to the regulations, "as long as you serve in the US military for three to six months, you can skip the green card and become an American citizen, which not only solves the problems of identity, military wages and benefits, but also solves the problems of employment and future security."

In fact, for many new immigrants from China, even being a soldier in the United States is already a very affordable "iron rice bowl". Most China students and work visa holders choose to join the army, and they are well aware of the benefits of the conscription plan. From 2009 to 20 17, the proportion of Asian recruits increased by 150%, while Asian Chinese accounted for the majority, and even the number of Chinese recruits in California exceeded several thousand. In recent years, China has become the third largest immigrant country in the United States, and more and more young people from China have entered American military camps for various purposes.
