"An HK Chinese migrant living in San Francisco had called into a talk show and said he supported Bush (and he seemed to imply most Chinese in San Fracnisco vote heavily Bush). This astonished the usual anti-bush host and local HK Chinese.
It seems the Chinese vote could not withhold the heavily liberal white-black-other-minorities votes there."
That's great! Maybe they'll be the beginnings of a new conservative movement!
I heard in the old days Chinatown Chinese was one of the few groups in megametros' inner city areas to vote Republican. But it seems the newer generation votes Democrats so don't give too much hope yet. My Dad told me Chinese in the US seem to support Bush in unison: the "blues" - pro-Taiwan but opposing current president Chen Shui-bian - vote Bush because of historical GOP conservative and Kuomintang ties. "Greens" - pro-Chen Shui-bian Taiwanee - vote Bush because they think Kerry will sell out Taiwan down the ditch. "Reds" - pro-Bejing Chinese - vote him before Beijing has come out and called on all Chinatown Chinese to vote Bush. They normally would not speak to each other but now all vote Bush.
