Interesting. When I was growing up, we lived in the immediate suburbs and there wasn’t Chinese take out in every strip mall, so we really enjoyed going down there and of course, it was relatively inexpensive. We certainly had the overall sense that they were , if not political, at least economic refugees, and that’s why the banner clanged for me. I don’t expect to go to a German enclave and see a banner celebrating the third Reich, so what do these people believe about their own history?
Well that’s what I don’t get either; which is why I suspect that the banner was put up by HSBC, which has ties to the Chinese government. Or by the Chinese consulate. Most of the Chinese I have met and known here in the states hate the Chinese government, so it is really weird.
