She can always move to China if she wants to be with her own kind.

Since it’s so wonderful and all.

HEAVENS NO!!! Then she would have to put up or shut up.

HERE she can whine her heart out without having to DO anything.

I have an ex-friend who hates San Francisco but won't move back to North Dakota because it's too cold AND she has 1001 excuses why she can't afford to leave and move to a warmer climate. She's the same as this Chinese woman whiner...MUCH easier to whine and whine and whine than DO anything to change.

We all KNOW that she won't be happy ANYWHERE she is. The glass is ALWAYS half empty.

RE: She can always move to China if she wants to be with her own kind.

I found her background quite interesting:

From Wikipedia:

Chua was born in Champaign, Illinois. Her parents were ethnic Chinese from the Philippines who emigrated to the United States. She has Hoklo ancestry and was raised in a Hokkien-speaking, not a Mandarin Chinese-speaking household. Her ancestors (including her grandparents and her mother) were born in Southern China’s Fujian province.

Amy’s father, Leon O. Chua, is an Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and is known as a leading authority on nonlinear circuit theory and cellular neural networks, and as the discoverer of the memristor.

Chua’s mother was born in China in 1936, before relocating to the Philippines at the age of 2.

She subsequently converted to Catholicism in high school and graduated from the University of Santo Tomas, with a degree in chemical engineering, magna cum laude.

She was raised as a Roman Catholic and lived in West Lafayette, Indiana.

When she was eight years old, her family moved to Berkeley, California. Chua went to El Cerrito High School and graduated magna cum laude with an A.B. in Economics from Harvard College in 1984. She obtained her J.D. cum laude in 1987 from Harvard Law School, where she was an Executive Editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Chua lives in New Haven, Connecticut and is married to Yale Law School professor Jed Rubenfeld. She has two daughters, Sophia and Louisa (”Lulu”).

Chua, whose husband is Jewish, has stated that her children can speak Chinese, and they have been “raised Jewish”.

She is the eldest of four sisters: Michelle, Katrin, and Cynthia. Katrin is a physician and a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Cynthia, who has Down Syndrome, holds two International Special Olympics gold medals in swimming.

Her own kind exist RIGHT HERE in the USA ( albeit in the minority)
