Chinese Americans

Chinese Americans

A poll was conducted of 354 Chinese Americans who were chosen at random nationwide by from a surname list.

They were asked a series of questions about their attitudes toward China and their views on China and US-China Relations.

Question 37:

Do you have relatives in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Singapore with whom you have regular contact?

72% of them said ‘Yes.’ No, surprise here considering the strong family ties…and seeing my wife call her parents on SKYPE every, every weekend and talk for hours.

But….27% said ‘No.’ I wonder what would cause one in four people to cut off ties with the homeland.

What do you think?

These survey results were taken from a poll conducted by the Committee of 100.

The Committee of 100 is a national, nonpartisan organization composed of prominent American citizens of Chinese descent.  The members of this group pool their resources to address important issues that concern the Chinese/American community but, IMHO, more importantly, foster better US-Greater China relations.

Recently, this group task the polling firm ZOGBY to conduct an extensive survey of American Attitudes Toward China.

They polled the General Population (General Public) as well as Chinese Americans. Business leaders, Opinion leaders and Congressional staffers, subsets of the general public were also polled.

In keeping with the Committee of 100 ideal, I hope it will create discussion and be used to better understand U.S.-China relations and help those concerned to formulate recommendations on how to improve relationships between these two great countries.
