A federal judge ruled unambiguously this week that Harvard University’s race-conscious admissions process was legally sound. But the closely watched decision left a crucial question unanswered:

It would appear that many good films, unfortunately, hit walls, which is the wall of their national boundary. In 2017, the movie made Youth (Fang Hua) was a box office hit in the People's Republic of China, the sixth largest grossing movie in the country that year. The film showed the dynamic transformation of young idealistic people in the 1970s, and their tribulations during China’s Cultural Revolution and China’s war with Vietnam. The movie also shows the first experiences of Chinese to American technology of the time period such as music cassette players. While the movie was written by the talented Chinese American, Geling Yan and directed by one of the most influential Chinese directors Xiaogang Feng - the film received very scant attention from American audiences. As of this writing, the movie has been released for over a year but has not been the subject of much discussion outside of China.

NEW YORK- In the vicinity of college point, within the Queens borough of New York City plans for the creation of a homeless shelter. These plans were originally conceived in a private transaction that was not disclosed to the public for many months. Two individuals purposely sold their apartments to an non for profit agency. In order to avoid counsel with the tenants and landowners of the community the deal was kept secret from the public for months. Currently, against the will of the neighborhood, the shelter is expected to open in September and has the perhaps unwise support of the NYC municipal government. Allegedly the seller of the property is a close associate to mayor Mark De Blasio.

The fight against a proposed College Point homeless shelter is heating up as residents are gearing up to sue the city.

Hundreds of residents from College Point and neighboring areas including Whitestone, Flushing and Bayside gathered for a protest Dec. 2 in front of the planned shelter at 127-03 20th Ave.

The rally was co-organized by Dany Chen, founder of the College Point Residents Coalition (CPRC), committee member Jennifer Shannon and area residents Rex Lam, Elizabeth Cuccia and Kathleen Shannon.

I am concerned with the content of the article written by Jacqueline Rabe Thomas [Dec. 10, CTMirror.org, “Increase in Minority Teachers Not Keeping Pace with Influx of Minority Students”]. The article advocated hiring more racial minority teachers, by means including lowering the required teacher qualifications, as a measure to boost the performances of racial minority students. While its intent was probably benign, it looked at the wrong direction for a solution.

I would like to clarify this question by citing Chinese-American voters, who strongly support United States President Donald J. Trump, rather than refer to Chinese citizens here. That’s because I will go ahead to assume that the Chinese are patriots if they are Chinese passport holders.

One would expect a Chinese patriot to express concerns over Trump’s tough tactics on trade talks with Beijing. Hence, if they claim to support the current US President, they might make sarcastic remarks.

So let’s go ahead and address Chinese-Americans, who hold US passports, therefore more supportive of USA than their native country. There’s nothing wrong with such notions, because your heart is wherever your real home is.

Original title: MORE BIG TECH ELECTION MEDDLING: TWITTER BLOCKS CALI. GOP CANDIDATE’S AD

A campaign ad for a California Republican congressional candidate was banned by Twitter Thursday, in what is being seen as a deliberate act of midterm election meddling.

Twitter cited “obscene” content for blocking Elizabeth Heng’s ad, which discusses her family’s struggle fleeing Cambodia following the rise of Pol Pot and the brutal Khmer Rouge communist regime.

Asian-American parents are concerned, even angry, because they suspect affirmative action prompted a suburban Maryland school district to overhaul admissions to its programs for gifted and talented students.(Photo: Ingram Publishing/Newscom)

About 100 parents, largely of Chinese-American descent, gathered on a recent Saturday afternoon inside an elementary school near Washington, D.C., to hear Heritage Foundation scholar Michael Gonzalez speak against racial preferences in school admissions.

Gonzalez, a senior fellow in the leading conservative think tank’s Davis Institute for International Studies who has written on the subject, delved into the roots of the affirmative action crisis that has frustrated many Asian-Americans for years.

He argued that affirmative action is the byproduct of the racial identity politics of the left.

“Merit is the antidote to racism,” Gonzalez said, to the applause of the crowd.

A lawsuit against Harvard has revealed in recent court filings troubling evidence of racial discrimination against Asian-Americans in the admissions process. More damning are the findings from Harvard's own internal investigation conducted by the Office of Institutional Research (OIR). Harvard denies any wrongdoing.

Does Harvard discriminate against Asian-Americans? To an institution whose mission is pursuing truth and whose motto is "Veritas," the question is of paramount importance.

USCIS data show the "Buy American and Hire American" executive order signed by Donald Trump on April 18, 2017, set in motion policies that made it more difficult for foreign-born scientists and engineers to gain H-1B visas and other types of employer-sponsored visas. (SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images)

At the same time the Trump administration has launched a trade war premised, in part, on worry that China will pass the U.S. in the technologies of the future, Trump officials are guaranteeing America will not have the talent to produce such technologies by blocking the entry of foreign-born scientists and engineers. New data show that in 2017, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) denied many more H-1B petitions and issued numerous costly Requests for Evidence to stop highly educated foreign nationals from working in America.

Intelligence chief tells security summit that Beijing is using all its resources to try to undermine America

China is waging a “quiet kind of cold war” against the United States, using all its resources to try to replace America as the leading power in the world, a top CIA expert on Asia said Friday.

Beijing doesn’t want to go to war, he said, but the current communist government, under President Xi Jinping, is subtly working on multiple fronts to undermine the US in ways that are different than the more well-publicised activities being employed by Russia.

Identity politics has engulfed the humanities and social sciences on American campuses; now it is taking over the hard sciences. The STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math —are under attack for being insufficiently "diverse." The pressure to increase the representation of females, blacks, and Hispanics comes from the federal government, university administrators, and scientific societies themselves. That pressure is changing how science is taught and how scientific qualifications are evaluated. The results will be disastrous for scientific innovation and for American competitiveness.

A scientist at UCLA reports: "All across the country the big question now in STEM is: how can we promote more women and minorities by 'changing' (i.e., lowering) the requirements we had previously set for graduate level study?"

**Chinese-Americans in Los Angeles Commemorated Martin Luther King Jr.  **

LOS ANGELES–January 15 was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. At 1:00PM, three elected Chinese-American government officials attended the forum to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They were Cary Chen, the President of Rowland Unified School District, Chin Ho Liao, the Mayor of the city of San Gabriel Valley, and Stephen Lam, the Mayor of Monterey Park.

Earlier this week, the Walmart owned Sam’s Club abruptly shut its doors; citing a shift towards expanding Walmart’s online shopping presence. This is yet another canary that has died in the coal mine, and yet another signal that big box retailers will not survive much longer. What is often mentioned and felt when a large company shuts its doors is the way the rank and file employees are affected.

Dr. Bandy X. Lee name became social media sensation over night claiming US President Donald Trump is not mentally fit for office. However, she has never examined the current US President. As a matter of fact, she ever has even engaged in a conversation with Mr. Trump. She appears to make her entire “professional analysis” based off of observations introduced by various US elected officials from both sides of the political aisle.

BEIJING  China and the United States both stand tall as the two richest and most powerful nations in our world. Only Beijing can call itself an equal to Washington on the world stage. But with two great countries you can not anticipate relations to go smoothly at all times.

Before moving to the U.S, I worked for a municipal Chinese government for two years, responsible for writing and updating news for its website. After I witnessed too many dirty dealings, I resigned and accepted an offer from a news agency mainly focusing on disclosing the corrupt crimes of the top level Chinese political leaders.

In the past, Chinese-Americans were not very active in expressing our own political stance. One reason was that the population of Chinese-Americans was much less than other communities, and most of them had to go to school or work during the week days. As a result, we cannot gather as many demonstrators as other races to the street. But as more Chinese-Americans getting financially stable after years of hard work, we can use high-technology to let our be voice heard by more people, especially during this 2016 Presidential Election of America.

Hillary Clinton claims that she cares about women, children, immigrants and minorities, but as a new immigrant woman from China, I don't like her. I prefer Donald Trump instead.

The first moment I started to dislike her was when she described Donald Trump's supporters "a basket of deplorables", claiming groundlessly that they were the low-income racist white people without college degrees.

After many United States companies moved their factories to developing countries, such as China and other Asian nations, many U.S. citizens had lost blue collar jobs. Consequently, major American cities that rely on the manufacturing industry have endured an economic depression, especially in the Great Lakes region. Cleveland, the largest city in the state of Ohio, was hit hard as well.
