Immigration to the United States is more severe for China or Indians?

Hello, overseas Chinese are not as good as Indians? Besides refusing to accept, there are more important things!

There is a joke in Silicon Valley of the United States about the English abbreviation IC of "integrate circuit", which stands for the initials of India and China. Some people use it to describe the status quo of Silicon Valley: 1/2 Engineers come from Asia, and China and India are equally divided.

However, the similarity in numbers cannot hide a problem, that is, the gap between the two in performance.

When we rejoice for China entrepreneurs to gain a foothold in Silicon Valley, Google CEO Sandel? Pichai, Microsoft CEO Satya? Nadella, president of Adobe, Santanu? A large number of Indian (Indian-born) executives, such as Narayen, have made a blockbuster in the scientific and technological field.

Google CEO Sandel? Pichai

A similar situation happened in politics.

While we are still excited about Tan Cheng Geng becoming the first Canadian federal senator with immigrant background from Chinese mainland, Indian ministers have quietly occupied four seats in the Canadian cabinet, setting a new record.

The industriousness and cleverness of China people are obvious to all. However, in many western countries, Indians often play a more important role. While many overseas Chinese are still complaining that they can't integrate into the mainstream society, Indians have quietly blossomed everywhere.

Are overseas Chinese really inferior to Indians? Whether you agree with this question or not, China, please take a look at the following to see what advantages Indians (ethnic minorities) have over overseas Chinese groups. Maybe you will have some new ideas after reading it!

Language has advantages.

Anyone who has watched the American TV series The Big Bang Theory must be deeply impressed by the authentic "Indian" English pronunciation of one of the protagonists, Rajesh Koothrappali, and often uses it to vomit.

But I don't know if you have noticed that no matter how strange Raj's accent is, there has never been any misunderstanding when communicating with his American friends.

English is the official language of India. Being taught English from an early age, there are naturally no obstacles in listening, speaking, reading and writing, which is a great advantage for Indians (descendants) to integrate into western society.

But more importantly, Indians always speak English with confidence and a loud voice. Although their pronunciation of "Barbara" is always laughed at, people don't mind at all-"Don't understand? That's your hearing problem, not my pronunciation. "

Facts have proved that this is a valuable spirit. After all, communication is the premise of integration. Dare not speak, dare not express, even the pronunciation standard is useless.

This is particularly worthy of the attention of overseas Chinese. All along, we are too "inner show" and many ideas are not well expressed. Imagine, if you don't even have the will to communicate actively, how dare the boss entrust you with the heavy responsibility? How dare investors bet on your business How do residents in your community vote for you in the election?

strong ability to adapt

Tell a short story to illustrate the problem.

A company in Silicon Valley recruited three interns, China, American and Indian. American interns just want to finish their work and leave as soon as they get off work; China interns work the most, but they don't like to talk; Indian interns do not do as much as China interns, but they are not bad, and they love to ask questions and are good at expressing themselves.

The final internship evaluation is that the interns in China learned the most, but the interns in India left the deepest impression and were remembered by everyone.

This shows that Indians have a more westernized way of thinking, stronger adaptability and can quickly integrate into different environments.

In fact, it is not difficult for overseas Chinese to do this. There are two aspects that need special attention:

First, pay attention to communication skills. The most basic thing is to smile, greet each other more, affirm each other more in communication, and praise yourself at the same time, don't be too modest, let alone complain;

Second, don't be led by face. Say no, just say no. Some people in China are particularly hardworking and have the spirit of collectivism. No matter whether you are in your own post or not, you will accept it because of your feelings, and gradually become the "maid" of other colleagues, and you will be in a very passive position in the workplace.

A strong sense of "holding a group"

Some people say that overseas Chinese are also very "hugging", and everyone in the Chinese circle is very active. Why are Indians better than us?

The real "holding a group" is not to build a car behind closed doors in the small circle of one's own ethnic group, but to take all Chinese members on this "car" to the main road of mainstream society and move forward hand in hand.

At this point, Indians are particularly eye-catching.

If a person immigrates, the whole family can move; The company recruits an Indian, and it won't be long before another big group can come; If you gain a foothold in an industry, you will soon develop in batches and even form a monopoly.

If an Indian conflicts with others, other Indians in the company will definitely stand behind him unconditionally; Once you have personnel rights, you will "kiss up" to your race when recruiting. Thus, in a very short time, Indian groups were born one after another; Whether in the company or in the wider social field, the result is often stronger than going it alone.

Strong willingness to "take root"

Indians have a strong sense of family, but not so strong sense of home and country. It seems that they seldom hear about the "return" of Indians.

Some people say that this is because India is so poor that it has no love, or no way back.

This is not entirely the case. There are many Indians who have emigrated overseas, and their lives in their hometown are not bad, and they can even afford servants. Perhaps in their concept, "this peace of mind is the hometown"; As long as you come to this country, build it into your hometown, "love" it into your hometown and be proud of this country.

On the other hand, overseas Chinese groups seem to have always left a trick for themselves. If it doesn't work out, there's at least some way to go.

Perhaps, even consciously or unconsciously, influenced by this kind of thinking, it is difficult to do things with 100% input, and the willingness to integrate is always weak. With the passage of time, the gap between the social status and influence of the two groups, who are also ethnic minorities, has gradually emerged in the country of settlement.

There are always people who think that it is difficult for overseas Chinese to truly integrate into the mainstream society of the country of residence. Perhaps, people who have this idea should take a good look at the Indian example.

Of course, it is not that overseas Chinese are inferior to Indians everywhere, but in many ways, they do better.

Perhaps seeing this, some people are still "dissatisfied" and unwilling to admit that Indians are better in some aspects. What Xiao Qiao wants to say is that a threesome must have a teacher. Instead of shouting "dissatisfaction", we should think about how to "turn dissatisfaction into motivation", learn from each other's strengths and strive to catch up with our opponents. It is the goal that overseas Chinese should strive to prove their Excellence with facts.
