, the status of Chinese people in the United States and Canada has undergone tremendous changes. After obtaining citizenship and voting rights, a large number of Chinese people have entered the middle class and white-collar workers, and have begun to move out of Chinatowns and develop into so-called "mainstream communities" and suburbs. As a result, the population of Chinatowns in the United States and Canada has been declining.
The symbolic status of economy and culture has also gradually declined, entering a long-term state of sluggish decline. Chinatown in some metropolitan areas has even become one of the symbols of local urban decay.
In the United States, the population of Chinatowns is aging seriously, and the mix with Hispanics is also increasing. In Canada, in addition to the population decline, Chinatowns, as the edge of the city center, are often populated by drug addicts and homeless people.
A place to linger.
New Chinese immigrants are visiting Chinatown less and less. In contrast, suburbs or "good areas" have emerged as places where new Chinese immigrants gather, forming "new Chinatowns", such as Flushing in New York, San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles, and Houston.
Sugar City and other places are new areas where Chinese people gather, and even residents of traditional overseas Chinese communities have moved to these areas.
How to revitalize Chinatown has now become a difficult challenge for Chinese communities in the United States and Canada.
First of all, Chinatown still attracts mainstream society, and we should have full confidence in Chinatown.
From the perspective of the concept of "Greater Chinatown" in North America, Chinatown has not really declined, but a new development model has emerged.
After the 1970s, with the influx of high-quality immigrants from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, "New Chinatowns" appeared in major cities where Chinese people live in the United States and Canada.
Located in high-end residential areas where Chinese and other ethnic groups live, these areas may not necessarily span several blocks like Old Chinatown, but they are home to large supermarkets, shopping malls, high-end Chinese restaurants and other types of stores, as well as Chinese banks.
Modern and stylish, and business is booming.
