I'm not sure if u get the point. I am referring to the individuals from China, where the ccp baggage makes them less likely to thrive in the US society.

They are either less willing to integrate into the US due to the their ccp upgringing, or more prone to be targeted to be purged(see the recent trump purge of the Chinese scientists), or more prone to actual go back and work with the ccp again.

In contrast, the Indians are much closer to the US society, many Indians actually thinks that the US is just a better and richer version of India(source my Indian friends).

If you think most individuals coming from China bring a “commie mindset” with them here, you are sorely mistaken.

I never said most. I only said they are less likely than the Indians to thrive as a comment to the article. Not sure why you intentionally misread my words

Consider if your comment could stand alone without that last sentence.

It’s very possible for an immigrant to believe themselves dissidents in their country of origin, but still carry over attitudes from there, and even later revert to outright loyalty to the regime there. Just look at many late Soviet emigres, who at the time were pleased to escape the USSR and live in the freedom of the West, but later often looked back nostalgically on the USSR or supported Putin’s attempts to restore it. I wouldn’t be surprised if that happens with many PRC emigres.

I mean, I don't think that it's usually a dissident thing. Most of the people I know are here for education/job opportunities/whatever.
