How many people in China are in the United States?

The United States has the largest Chinese society in western countries, with about 3 million Chinese, accounting for 1% of the total population of the United States. New york has listed the Spring Festival as a legal holiday, and the activities of celebrating the China Lunar New Year in the Greater Washington area where the reporter is located began half a month ago. It has been more than 200 years since China came to the United States. From the initial "pig" workers to today's "model minority", Chinese Americans have experienced a tortuous and brilliant struggle.

In the United States, where whites account for 75%, Chinese can only be said to be "ethnic minorities". In the United States, the proportion of Hispanics and blacks exceeds 12%, so compared with African-American and Hispanic immigrants, Chinese are not outnumbered. "But most American elites recognize the fact that the new generation of China immigrants have a high overall education level, strong entrepreneurial ability, strong consciousness of consciously integrating into the mainstream society, and have greater ambitions than the older generation of immigrants." Dr. Li Cheng from the China Research Center of the Brookings Institution told the Global Times reporter. Li Cheng, who is in charge of the 100 Eye-to-Eye Investigation Committee on Chinese and American people, said that nationwide, the education level of immigrants from China is higher than the average level of American adults, the proportion of immigrants from China is also higher than that of white Americans, and the proportion of high-income families in China has exceeded the average level of native Americans. The improvement of China people's educational level has made them achieve great success in the fields of economy, science and technology. For example, Silicon Valley in California is the base camp of American high-tech economy, and there are many China high-tech rookies with assets of tens of millions of dollars. Nearly half of the scientists employed by the National Science Laboratory of the United States are Asian, and more than half of them are Chinese scientists. Among the famous universities in the United States, nearly13 of the directors of natural science departments are from China, and 30,000 of the famous scientists in the United States 1.2 million are from China. In the field of art, Lang Lang, a piano genius, is very famous in the United States, which shows that China people also have equal opportunities for development in the art field.
