中国移民进入美国的历史主要分为两个阶段：第一波浪潮出现在19世纪50至80年代，止于当时联邦政府出台的排华法案；第二波浪潮则从20世纪70年代延绵至今，可谓美中邦交正常化的副产品。

在美国生活着约440万中国移民，他们的出生地包括中国大陆、香港、澳门、台湾。如今全国的主要城市都拥有着欣欣向荣的唐人街，传承着中国移民的精神。

其中，旧金山的唐人街年代最为久远、规模也最可观，彰显出了一个拥有独特文化历史的群族如何融入美国社会。

#AmericanDiversity – Diaspora: China Towns – San Francisco/NYC 

The history of Chinese immigration to the United States can be divided into two periods: the first during the 1850s to 1880s which was then halted by federal laws restricting Chinese immigration; and the second during the late 1970s to the present, which is a by-product of the normalization of U.S.-Chinese relations. 

The Chinese diaspora population in the United States is comprised of approximately 4.4 million individuals who were either born in the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan.  

Today major cities throughout the country have thriving China Towns that continue to maintain the spirit of Chinese immigrants.  San Francisco boasts the largest and oldest China Town which illustrates how a group of people bound by a unique culture and history can unite and flourish into an American hallmark.
