LOS ANGELES - Chinese tourist Yu Hu felt relief when she got a 10-year multi-entry US visa recently, which means she can visit the US whenever she has time in the next 10 years.

In 2013, 891,000 Chinese visitors entered California and spend 1.9 billion dollars, according to California tourism authority.

In addition, the numbers of Chinese students and people coming for business are also on the rise. The number of Chinese students in the US rose for the eighth consecutive year in 2014, reaching more than 886,000, a 16-percent increase over 2013, according to a US report.

The Chinese people LOVE Americans. Both peoples have very similar demeanors.

In fact, the Chinese name for America is literally “beautiful land.”
