The Impact

This article investigates the impact of international migration to the United States on the level and timing of Chinese migrants’ fertility. We compare Chinese women who did not leave the country (non-migrants) and were subject to restrictive family policies from 1974 to 2015 to those who moved to the United States (migrants) and were, thus, “emancipated” from these policies. We theoretically develop and empirically test the emancipation hypothesis that migrants should have a higher fertility than non-migrants, as well as an earlier timing of childbearing. This emancipation effect is hypothesized to decline across birth cohorts. We use data from the 2000 US census, the 2005 American Community Survey, the 2000 Chinese census, and the 2005 Chinese 1 percent Population Survey and discrete-time event history models to analyze first, second, and third births, and migration as joint processes, to account for selection effects. The results show that Chinese migrants to the United States had substantially higher childbearing probabilities after migration, compared with non-migrants in China, especially for second and third births. Moreover, our analyses indicate that the migration process is selective of migrants with lower fertility. Overall, the results show how international migration from China to the United States can lead to an increase in migrant women’s fertility, accounting for disruption, adaptation, and selection effects. The rapidly increased fertility after migration from China to the United States might have implications on other migration contexts where fertility in the origin country is dropping rapidly while that in the destination country is relatively stable.

American Beauty

This pilot study compared the perceptions of beauty among Chinese women who were exchange students in the United States with Chinese women who were students in their homeland. We interviewed 19 women in China and 19 women in the United States to determine differences in responses. In accordance with the sociocultural approach and the social comparison approach, we expected Chinese women in the United States to have a be more acculturate, more frequently conclude that American women were more beautiful than Chinese women, be more likely than those studying in China to report body dissatisfaction, be more likely to dislike and desire to alter body parts that specifically reflect American beauty ideals, and express a greater desire to surgically alter their bodies. Results indicated that participants in the United States group were more likely to reflect some American beauty standards (particularly their desires to lose weight and to be taller), while maintaining those of their own culture (the importance of facial appearance), as well. Suggestions for future research and practice, particularly for mental health workers on college campuses with growing populations of Chinese exchange students, are discussed.

Relocating to the United States influences the perceptions of Chinese men on manhood and their attitudes toward interracial relationships between Chinese women and American men. In this study, we examined how the intersection of gender and race in a cross-cultural context shaped constructions of masculinity of young male Chinese international students and scholars, and how racialized masculinity experiences influenced their relationships with women and with peer U.S. men. We interviewed 18 Chinese men (Mean age = 26.06 years, range = 20-30) and used thematic analysis to analyze in-depth interview data. We found that some men adopted flexible, protective, and diverse strategies to reclaim their masculinity by reconciling American and Chinese masculinities. Others felt degraded and took a negative attitude toward the interracial relationship between Chinese women and American men. Despite the influence of cross-cultural contexts, the Chinese patriarchal Confucian tradition exerted a strong influence on participants’ masculinity construction.

PURPOSE The affect of race on breast cancer prognosis is not well understood. We compared crude and adjusted breast cancer survival rates of Chinese women versus White women in the United States. METHODS We conducted a cohort study of Chinese and White women with breast cancer diagnosed between 2004 to 2015 in the SEER 18 registries database. We abstracted information on age at diagnosis, tumor size, grade, lymph node status, receptor status, surgical treatment, receipt of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and death. We compared crude breast cancer–specific mortality between the two ethnic groups. We calculated adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) in a propensity-matched design using the Cox proportional hazards model. P < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS There were 7,553 Chinese women (1.8%) and 414,618 White women (98.2%) with stage I-IV breast cancer in the SEER database. There were small differences in demographics, nodal burden, and clinical stage between Chinese and White women. Ten-year breast cancer–specific survival was 88.8% for Chinese women and 85.6% for White women (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.80; P < .0001). In a propensity-matched analysis among women with stage I–IIIC breast cancer, the HR was 0.71 (95% CI, 0.62 to 0.81; P < .0001). Annual mortality rates in White women exceeded those in Chinese women for the first 9 years after diagnosis. CONCLUSION Chinese women in the United States have superior breast cancer–specific survival compared with White women. The reason for the observed difference is not clear. Differences in demographic and tumor features between Chinese and White women with breast cancer may contribute to the disparity, as may the possibility of intrinsic biologic differences.

This article explores images of the United States featured in the 1930s Shanghai women's magazine Linglong. This imagined America reflected a reorientation in ideas about how to be simultaneously modern and Chinese. The United States became a symbolic location for Linglong's readers as they grappled with personal concerns in their negotiations with families and communities about appropriate feminine behavior for Chinese women seeking to be modern and cosmopolitan. These readers found in the depiction of American life answers to their anxieties about appropriate limits for their modern city lifestyle. The imagined America provided convenient boundaries for readers and editors alike. Linglong presented a vision of unbridled, limit-free American lifestyles as “the extreme,” allowing China's modern women to plot their behavior along an imagined continuum stretching between American depravity and the prison of Confucian morality.
