Do not follow Amy Chua, she is not a prime example of Chinese people.

Although she writes controversial books to attract attention and sell. We can see her heart and ideals leads to western men (as married to one) and all ends there.

This is not the road of a Chinese as we seek independence and develop in our own ways.

My guess is that she comes from a generation where this is a group of Chinese who feel they are inferior to the west. These Chinese who kind who have intellectually surrendered and departed with the Chinese people.

I think that you emphasize an important point here- most Asian-Americans (and Asian-Canadians) are immigrants or the children of immigrants. For instance, there were approximately 30,000 Koreans in the US in 1970- a number that has grown to over a million today, with similar influxes of Chinese, Phillipinos, Vietnamese and Indians. A first-generation immigrant population is going to be insular, and largely seek prosperity and acceptance, not leadership. In time, as the Asian-American population matures, I expect that Asian-Americans will become disproportionately powerful and make up a disproportionately large share of leadership in many areas of American life. But it will take several more decades for academic and career success to translate to senior leadership, and it may also require a willingness by Asians to build “competitive parallel” institutions, in the same way that American Jews did to overcome their lack of acceptance as leaders by the northeast WASP elite (all minority groups build “parallel” institutions, but I differentiate “competitive parallel” as meaning an institution which is not merely focused on the minority community, but on competing with mainstream institutions. Think of Jewish-lead law firms, investment banks and film studios for instance. The desire for US market access by emerging companies and institutions in Asian countries makes this a very likely possibility.)
