Except in the US you can actually integrate into society and be treated as an American[0], that's not true of China.

[0]: I know there's still racism and discrimination, but if we're comparing to China let's at least compare the two countries on the same scale.

Consider for example what Asian Americans have accomplished in a relatively short amount of time in the US (most Asian immigration has occured in the last 40-50 years). Highest education levels, lowest unemployment rate, lowest crime & murder rates, highest incomes, highest household wealth levels, longest life expectancies (of any demographic in the US).

In how many large countries has something like that ever taken place (quite peacefully at that)? It's an exceptional testament to the ability of immigrants to contribute to the US, become integral to its success and be accepted.
