In recent years, more and more ethnic Chinese who were born and raised in the United States, Canada, and other countries have been coming back to their ethnic Homeland. In reality, people like us have always existed within the country in small numbers, but now our demographic is becoming an appreciable force within the nation and especially within its STEM sector, where we might be able to make some noteworthy contributions to the coming Chinese century.

Excluded Topics

Submissions (not necessarily comments) which are based on the following topics are outside of the intended scope of this Subreddit:

• Complaints which are made from a pro-immigration perspective. For instance, articles complaining about the Chinese Exclusion Act. Articles about members of Congress wanting to reduce the number of Chinese people let into the country. Articles about discrimination against Chinese citizens studying at American universities. The angle of this Subreddit is that immigration from China to the West has been a mistake.
• The establishment of strong Asian enclaves within the Western countries. Unlike some Subreddits for Asian Americans, this Subreddit does not support enclaves, and is focused specifically on the concept of exiting the Western countries and returning to China.
• Legislative activism. For instance, the endorsement of political candidates (such as Andrew Yang). The criticism of specific office-holders (such as Michelle Wu). Any demanding or promoting of the passage of new legislation.

Glossary

(Inspired by the Terminology section of Eastern Sun Rising.)

• exgon: Descendant of (Chinese) immigrant. Does not include the immigrants themselves. Equivalent to the Chinese term 后裔 (but not quite 华裔 because, according to the legal definition, 华裔 includes the immigrants themselves).
• first generation: Those who left their nation (China) and voluntarily naturalized into other countries.
• immigrant: Members of the first generation. The children and grandchildren of immigrants are not themselves "immigrants." That is a silly and confusing Americanism which we do not employ here.
• telemath: A person (citizen of China) who has received education outside of his (or her) own country (especially the United States). Equivalent to the Chinese term 留学生.
