Technically, China does have some laws against taking bribes but there is a fine line between bribes and gift giving. It is an acceptable practice to give gifts to the officials that a company works with because it shows respect and that you value their friendship. The problem is that the gifts are becoming more and more expense to ensure the company gets everything that is needed to open a division in their country. The Chinese government is getting more aggressive with cracking down on officials taking bribes in order to fast track business licenses, but there is still a long way to go. According to FCPA, it is illegal in the United States to bribe or accept a bribe in return for favors, and most statewide business will abide by these laws.

In Wayne Wang’s Eat a Bowl of Tea (1989), the first section of the film ends with an extravagant wedding.
When Chinese immigrants came to America they brought with them old world traditions, such as the Chinese New Year. In San Francisco Chinatown during the Cold War, ethnic leaders began trying to assimilate and become more accepted separating themselves from communist China. They attempted to accomplish this through modernization of their festival and the adoption of the model minority ideal. This was in the hopes of attracting tourists, bolstering businesses and have the Chinese themselves become part of the powerful white middle class. To further push western middle class ideals Chinese leaders implemented a beauty pageant to showcase which pushed them to be more associated with whites than other minorities.
Without the one-child policy, the population of China will keep increasing. With a big population stress Chinese families cannot get better living conditions. The increasing population is only not a burden for China; it is also a burden for the world. With the limited natural resources, controlling population is a good way to ease the presses.

They formed their own community and were also the victims to one of the worst acts of discrimination. Therefore, although the Chinese immigration were heavily discriminated against by the United States, they were still crucial to socioeconomic development of the United States in the late 1800s. The Chinese immigration was crucial to the economic development of the United States because it brought immigrants for the gold rush, the transcontinental railroad, the farms, as well as other small businesses.
