I believe that Chinese-Americans have a reason to support the right's tough stance on China. Let's ask Eric Swalwell & Fang Fang.

I also believe most are just normal Americans that happen to also be conservative. It's a thing, doesn't have to be a big conspiracy.

I also don't view it as an "unfortunate nexus" as I don't view being on the right a bad thing.

I welcome anyone to be a conservative, including Chinese-Americans.

I do regard it as deeply unfortunate because it has fuelled oppositional politics between the US and China which is unhelpful in the medium-short term. And, because it aligns to views I disagree with like constraints on womens reproductive rights (I believe this is a fundamental human right) and views on religion which I dislike intensely. So I see a very unfortunate nexus of China-as-a-state political-hate, pentecostalism, anti-abortion views.

There are very few organized socialist chinese-americans in the press right now. So, this is pretty one-sided because I believe underneath the "race" side of things, a lot of people in the chinese community probably believe in what I call socialism here: Basic human rights, and social services. The US right wing is fighting to remove these, and remove basic human rights like abortion.

So yes. To me? this is very unfortunate. As to the conspiracy side, well, Q gotta Q. But I would worry there is a tendency to agglomerate into these cesspits of political lunacy, to leverage it for short-term gain.

You have to know that the right is a far spectrum.

As a libertarian conservative I support abortion, but not late-term abortion or post birth.

That and religion in general is mainly an evangelical right thing and is less popular within the party nowadays.

I do know that. So, if you are saying there are chinese-americans of right views, who are appalled by what happened to the GOP and are opposed to the surge of religiously motivated (in my view bad) policy, I welcome it.

I'm not seeing this reflected in things said in the non-US media (I'm in australia) and my experience here, is that incursions into specific language and culture groups to garner votes tends to be crude, and in the margins: it works best when it appeals to pretty simple messages, and they tend not to be centerist ones.

I disagree that there's a "surge of religiously motivated" as an insider within the party I see the religious social aspect is less prominent than the economic, foreign policy, and security issues.
