Arguing that "blood is thicker than water," China's Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng called upon "fellow compatriots and Chinese students to serve the motherland. Your support, involvement and contribution would be most valuable. A China marching toward modernity is a boon to the Chinese people and to countries across the world."
After years of repression of dissenters, enslavement of minorities, and theft of intellectual property rights, only 15% of Americans hold a favorable view of the Chinese nation. The Ambassador called this unfavorable view "myopic and ill-informed. The American government has also been quite active in repressing dissent over the last few years--censoring deviant opinions and putting its dangerous opponents in prison. As for minorities, the American government is being tasked with paying reparations for enslaving Blacks. Finally, the accusation of theft is a slander. We have already paid Hunter Biden for access to this intellectual property."
China isn't the only foreign government urging its compatriots and ethnic kin to assist the home country. Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is telling Hispanics living in the US to "vote against the Republicans--even those with Hispanic names like DeSantis and Cruz. Biden is the one who is aiding our reconquista of Norte Mexico. His policies have enabled us to send seven million more of our people into the United States where they are now positioned to vote to continue those policies."

I always took “blood is thicker than water” to mean “family is more important than nationality” — American waters, Chinese waters, etc.
I don’t have any other evidence to support that claim.
I am thinking though that Chinese nationals in the USA are not American. I don’t have a better expression to describe the situation.
