This article describes The Legal History of Chinese Americans, from 1785 to the present
American Chinese originally came from China, Taiwan , Hong Kong and the rest of the world, they became naturalized American citizens and their offspring remain in the U.S. In 2009, there were 3.8 millions of Chinese Americans which constituted 1.2% of the total U.S. population. [1] Most of them live in the New York metropolitan area, Northern California and Los Angeles.[2]
The most famous Chinese American is Dr. Sun Yat-Sen who founded the Republic of China. Dr. Sun was born in Hawaii. Other famous Americans include Nobel laureates Dr. Tsung-Dao Lee, Dr. Chen-Ning Yang, Dr. Steven Chu, politicians S. B. Wu, Gary Faye Locke, Elaine Chao, attorney Dr. Chiu Chang, actors Bruce Lee, etc.
Chinese Americans had been discriminated against in the past, the notorious Chinese Exclusion Act remained effective until 1943. In 2009, the California Parliament passed a resolution to apologize for the historical Anti-Chinese legislations and the U.S. Senate passed a resolution to apologize for the discrimination against Chinese immigrants in 2011.[3][4]
Formally, there has been no extradition treaty between China and the U.S. or Taiwan and the U.S. It means when a criminal act was committed in China or Taiwan, justice cannot be served if the criminal escape to the U.S. [5]
The Chinese Americans are regarded as “model minority”, they usually don’t guard their rights like blacks and other minorities do. Even when they are being discriminated in the work place, they remain quiet and resigned to such fact. According to a study done by the Equal Employment Opportunity Council in 2005, there were 31% of the Chinese Americans complaint about being discriminated in the work place, compared to 26% among blacks, but very few resorted to legal means.[6]
