Something needs to be done about the poor assimilation of Chinese students on American campuses. We had a particularly bad incident at Penn State where the Chinese student association held a banquet, and performed a rap saying that “all Americans will soon call China daddy”.

Any active assimilation efforts will almost certainly backfire and would be a massive civil rights infringement.

All immigrants, not just Chinese, tend to associate with their own ethnic subgroup in the US and always have. Time is the only real assimilator.

That said, the CCP does and will continue to actively attempt to influence Chinese living in America and the US needs to take a look at that.

I think the universities could do more to build friendship and a campus community between the Chinese students and the rest of the university.
