Will the Hong Kong Model Survive?: An Assessment 20 Years After the Handover
(https://www.cecc.gov/events/hearings/will-the-hong-kong-model-survive-an-assessment-20-years-after-the-handover)

138 Dirksen Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510 | Wednesday, May 3, 2017 – 9:30am to 11:30am

Twenty years after the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China, there are serious concerns about viability of the “one country, two systems” model in light of Beijing’s unprecedented encroachments in recent years. The late 2015 disappearances of several Hong Kong-based booksellers sent shockwaves through the territory and the recent election of a new Chief Executive is a reminder that the promise of universal suffrage remains unfulfilled. At the same time there is a continuing erosion of press freedom and growing threats to judicial independence, both vital in any healthy democracy. The Commission will examine the long-term prospects for human rights and basic freedoms in Hong Kong as well as challenges to preserving its promised “high degree of autonomy.”

Hearing can be viewed via live Webcast

^ What does the South China sea dispute (and many of the other suggested topics) have to do with Asian Americans directly?

The HK – US relations act has great implications for Asian Americans, not only HK immigrants in the USA, but also the potential for asylum seekers, even refugees coming to the USA.

It has implication for me and I am an American in HK.

Anyhow, Abagond’s monthly theme is not strictly about the USA, as he said

” posts on Asian Americans and the Asia/Pacific.”

What’s the point of an Asian American History Month? Asians are well accepted in American society. They are the favored minority. They are essentially surrogate White people in the U.S. in socio-economic terms. In fact, their average earnings now exceed that of Whites as does their average educational level. When’s the last time you saw a Japanese bus driver or plumber? In fact, Asians -especially Japanese-Americans- have in many ways essentially become a sort of super-class above Whites. Note that Japanese American women 99.9% of the time will only date/marry other Japanese-Americans or Whites. Is this History Month AA for some “feel good” sociocultural reasons? It’s really not needed any more than an English American History Month is needed. Everyone knows Asian Americans have plenty of juice – especially the Japanese – and the Chinese and South Asian Indians are not far behind. Same with Korean-Americans who are perhaps the hardest working people I’ve ever seen. They’ve certainly earned their standing in American society through diligence, discipline across generations, astoundingly high educational achievement, financial discipline, strong families, etc. In just a few generations in America the Japanese in particular went from being the so-called “yellow peril” to solid acceptable (desired) middle and upper class in American society. Ironically, they will in a few generations disappear as distinct ethnic groups as their well earned social mobility enables them through intermarriage to meld into the dominant society (perhaps with the sole exception of the South Asian Indians whose iron strong family fabric and whose Hindu religion is part if their base identity.

Quit bellyaching.
“Malik Ambar – Ethiopian who ruled in India” This topic should be treated in the context of military slavery as opposed to chattel slavery. He wasn’t the only African to hold such high position, a class of them existed. According to a book I recently read, he was Oromo not Ethiopian, not sure what the difference is but given your penchant for such things you’ll elucidate.

Yogibreeze said,

“When’s the last time you saw a Japanese bus driver or plumber?”

Let me guess. Your white? Declining I.Q.? Likely to over dose on opiates? Never had gainful employment? Feel entitled?

If your question was on an I.Q. test you failed it.

It’s not that Asains or the Japanese are some kind of supper race rather whites are generally lazy, dysfunctional, suffer declining birth rates, more prone to suicide and act entitled. Therfore other groups out perform whites because they don’t have all that baggage.

You also said,

“they will in a few generations disappear as distinct ethnic groups as their well earned social mobility enables them through intermarriage to meld into the dominant society”

Wrong again. It’s white people who will be disappearing. The Roman’s no longer exist because they became absorbed by the people they conquered. The same will be true of Western Civilization.

Not that it’s relevant, but since abagond keeps repeating this narrative, I just want to know when he’s going to substantiate it.

He still hasn’t provided any names of leaders of the “empire” and when the “empire” committed genocide on the Oromo, the largest Ethiopian ethnicity, which is also accused of oppressing minorities in Oromia, and has dominated control of the “empire” for arguably most of the “empire’s” history.

@ Prof Masala

Thanks for the link. I have read some articles by Dr. Tamara K. Nopper in the past. On the Everyday Sociology blog, Nopper wrote a revealing article about how Korean immigrants are supported in their entrepreneurial ventures in the USA. The article, The Myth of Imported Immigrant Success, included this information:

“While conducting my dissertation research on Korean banks’ and U.S. federal government agencies’ contributions to Korean immigrant entrepreneurship, I became more familiar with such efforts. They involved collaborations between Korean banks, non-profits, and federal government organizations, including the Small Business Administration, the Minority Business Development Agency, the White House Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders—the only White House commission at the time dedicated to economic development among non-whites (Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans had commissions focusing on educational opportunities)—and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Korean immigrants aren’t the only ones receiving institutional support. There are multiple projects sponsored by government institutions to economically incorporate immigrants of many backgrounds. For example, the FDIC sponsors a Money Smart program that targets language groups for financial literacy; along with English, the program is offered in Spanish, Chinese, Hmong, Korean, Vietnamese, and Russian.”

http://nortonbooks.typepad.com/everydaysociology/2009/07/the-myth-of-imported-immigrant-success.html/

So Korean immigrants not only get economic support from their country of origin (via banks and nonprofits) to start businesses in the US, they also receive extensive economic support (from US government agencies) from their adopted country. All very quietly and to great effect.

Contrast that with the political and media uproar that accompanies any economic support of any type for the native born Black population.

Last year I started to draft a guest post for Native American history month on the interaction between Chinese and other Asians in the Western frontier and Native Americans in the 1800s, but I found out I needed to do some more research.

Then I thought I could send it for Asian American Heritage month.

It’s still not done yet, so I guess maybe for the next Native American history month? Sorry.
But I guess one single post does not have to include so much information.

I think Black / Asian relations is such a broad topic that it might have to be split up into many separate subtopics, eg,
– African slave ships and Asian coolies (many of the ships transporting Africans were refitted to transport Asians after slavery was technically abolished).
– Blacks and Asians in the frontier West in the 1800s
– Blacks and Asians in the Reconstruction South in the 1870s (and the aftermath until WWII)
– Blacks and Asians during Jim Crow, eg, who was “colored”?
– Black and Asian miscegenation before and during Jim Crow
– The genetic contribution of Asians to modern day black Americans and vice versa
– Similarities and differences between blacks and Asians in fighting for Civil Rights between Reconstruction and the mid-20th century civil rights movement.
– The “African-American” Great migrations of the 20th century and Asian communities (eg, Chinatowns) – Asians had encountered blacks previously in the south, but the interaction in northern US cities was a new thing.
– Black servicemen and Asian War Brides
– the impact of the black civil rights movement on Asian Americans in the 50s-60s
– Blacks and Asians serving in the US military, from the civil war to Afghanistan,ie, -> how have they interacted and treat each other, eg, in WWII, they were assigned to separate segregated units.
– Blacks and the Vietnam War – impact on Asian American communities back in the USA.
– Impact of the 1965 Immigration act to both black and Asian communities, and the interplay between both Asian and black communities in the USA
– the expansion of Asian-owned businesses in black neighborhoods post-1970s (and maybe compared to pre-1970s) and the prospect going forward.
– Blacks, Asians and law enforcement and the criminal justice system
– Blacks, Asians and Affirmative Action
– Blacks, Asians and dating and marriage
– Growing up Blasian
– Black and Asian residential segregation
– Blacks, Asians and Hollywood Whitewashing and stereotyping, and its impact on both black and Asian communities
– Blacks, Asians and sports (eg, the Olympics, university and Professional sports).
– Blacks, Asians and post-70s civil rights.
– Compare the experience of blacks in majority Asian institutions v. Asians in majority black institutions (eg, blacks attending school in Hawaii or in Chinatowns v. Asians attending schools in PG county, MD or in the Mississippi delta, or even in S. Chicago).

–> it takes more than 500 words just to list the potential subtopics, and this just barely scratches the surface.

Yeah, it would have to be whole month to do 12-15 different posts, and even that would just be an introduction.
Yet, it has been requested every year, so maybe we can pick 2-3 subtopics every year.

Even if I did Native American / Asian relations, I would have to focus strictly on the frontier west of the mid-late 1800s, and that would just be an introduction. That could not fit into one single post either, even though there is a lot less information on that, so there is less to report about.

Your mention of assimilation reminded me that I’ve been wishing for a post on it. The way I see it, sometimes assimilation is good, because it promotes unity and helps ethnic groups avoid being seen as perpetual foreigners. There are also positive elements to any culture that the newcomers can pick up.

On the other hand, forced assimilation isn’t right, especially in regard to relatively trivial expressions of culture like eating certain foods, wearing certain clothes, or attending certain houses of worship (values are way more important). People say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” but that only works if the Romans are behaving well.

I hate to see new Americans copying some of our worst tendencies, like greed, aggression, and superficiality. We are so individualistic that we are often selfish. Other cultures with more of a community focus have something to teach us for sure.

@ I forgot to say that assimilating in terms of food, clothing, religion, etc. also makes the country more monotonous and boring. As long as we all agree on some basic principles of behavior, like respect, compassion, and generosity, people being different in smaller ways is actually an interesting benefit of immigration and multiculturalism. Many immigrants are better at adhering to those basic principles than some of the overly individualistic native-born Americans are.

Don’t know where to put this, but I found this interesting.

It may explain some of the reasons why Chinese netizens (in the PRC) react they way they do to western liberalism, and even explain some of the disconnect in social attitudes between recent immigrants from the PRC and Asians who have been in the USA for generations.

The curious rise of the ‘white left’ as a Chinese internet insult
(https://www.hongkongfp.com/2017/05/20/curious-rise-white-left-chinese-internet-insult/)

However, Chinese netizens’ fierce attacks against the ‘white left’ seem curiously devoid of experiential motivation, since all these problems that conservatives in the west are concerned about – immigration, multiculturalism, minority rights, and affirmative actions – are largely unknown to Chinese society.

More or less established Chinese immigrants in the United States often make the case that affirmative action policies put Chinese-Americans in a disadvantageous position, and “Chinese should not pay the price for the wrongs white Americans have done”. It isn’t the place to analyse the pitfalls of these claims here; my focus is rather on why mainland Chinese people adopt such a strong and emotionally charged view on issues they do not have direct experience with.

I also had a wonderful chat with her brother Elrick, who was present. He is the CEO and president of The Africa Channel, which would also be an excellent post topic for this blog. The mission of the Africa channel is to tell stories about the African diaspora to North American audiences which is entirely consistent with the focus of this blog.

I also had a wonderful chat with the Executive Director of the Asia Society in Hong Kong. She is a Chinese American whose brother lives in Fairfax county, Virginia, and she knows about my Aunt and her role in Asian Pacific American heritage month and would like to invite her to do a talk here in HK. My Aunt also lives in Fairfax County not far from her brother.

In short, I had truly had a wonderful evening and feel inspired to follow up on so many things. 🙂 🙂 🙂
