...notoriously difficult business, yet China's boundless business ambition appears to be supported by promising markets. As worldwide air travel steadily increases, airlines will need to buy almost 29,000 planes worth $2.8 trillion over the next two decades, with nearly one-third of them destined for Asian carriers, according to Boeing, the No. 1 manufacturer of commercial jets. In China alone, domestic airlines could spend as much as $340 billion for 3,400 new aircraft - nearly quadrupling the current fleet of about 1,000 - by 2026. There's also booming demand for smaller, so-called regional jets like...
...Census divides the Asian population into 11 major constituencies: Chinese, Filipino, Asian Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Pakistani, and Thai. Several groups dominate this pool: The Chinese alone comprise almost a quarter of the Asian demographic, and Filipinos make up just under a fifth. Asian Indians rank third at 16 percent, the Vietnamese and Koreans hold 11% each, and Japanese make up an additional 8 percent. In contrast, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Pakistani, and Thai Asians each comprise under 2 percent of the Asian population...
...Each of these groups has experienced radically different immigration histories and trajectories. Chinese and Japanese have the longest history in America, with workers beginning to arrive around the turn of the twentieth century to work on America’s transcontinental railroads. Many Southeast Asians arrived post-1965 as refugees from Vietnam and other crisis countries; many Indians have arrived in recent years to work in information technology . Thus, we see a wide range across the spectrum of socioeconomic attainment and acculturation, the scope of which often becomes troublingly lost in categorizations of Asian America. In particular, success myths...
...most visible suggestions of “model minority” status arises in the domain of educational attainment. It is true that some Asian Americans have attained high levels of scholarly achievement—for instance, 64 percent of Asian Indians hold at least a bachelor’s degree, and over 50 percent of Chinese and Pakistani do. The counter story, however, is one we must also keep in mind; among Cambodians, Hmong and Laotians, only 8 or 9 percent graduate college—in fact, only about half graduate high school .Thus the label of Asian-American...
...United States recognizes 63 races based on self-identification, arising from six individual categories and the 57 possible combinations thereof. We could apply this logic to different ethnicities—but somehow it seems preposterous to think that creating a different ethnicity for every single combination of eleven Asian groups (that’s 2,047 possible “ethnicities”) will mean a damn thing...
