It's celebrated with all things American to symbolize their transformation. Hot dogs, cheeseburgers, American flags. They adopt an American name.
These people fucking HATE the communists and are not looking for ANY government handout.
They have started a trend of getting my Brunswick Stew recipe from a real American Southerner to get their start with assimilating. The Asian spices must not be used in any American cuisine prepared. They bring me these wonderful crunchy little egg rolls and amazing French beef stew with an Asian flair to it as the exchange. I've taught American BBQ, Southern potato salad, deviled eggs, fried catfish and the simpler things.
Then one day the men come to me. Several years after Mr. Hung EARNED his citizenship and worked with me countless hours with his English (they assume because I was a school teacher I could teach proper English) I had earned his trust, it was time for him to exercise his American citizen's right to buy a firearm.
They all knew about their supervisor and I going rat hunting together and me helping him get his permit and firearms.
Mr. Hung had seen my review videos and wanted the .22 rifle just like mine so we found locally and downloaded the form for him to fill out. I watched him fill it out and explained the questions. He said "why would ANYBODY ever denounce their citizenship when so many died for them to have it?"
Mr. Hung bought two more rifles and a handgun without my assistance a few weeks ago and now he is ready to start teaching others in the community.
You make differences in this world one person at a time. I do very much the same thing.

Their reasoning was, as I understood it, that there are no guns in China now, so it's easy to keep it that way, but the genie is out of the bottle in the US, so better to allow legal ownership.
They didn't quite get the concept of defense (from others and an oppressive government) is a natural right.
Interesting cultural perspective.
No he missed it big time. Totally disagree with his assertion about his original country. Being a go-with-the-flow type is not what we are seeing in the others he was was with.
A) If they have family in the hands of the Communists, they have to watch what they say.
B) Han, often, still support the party. I have Catonese friends, but even Han, who grew up here, and have parents who are staunchly anti Communist, can often get sucked into their NAZI bs.
