Chinatowns across the United States are rich with culture and history, however, they have been struggling. Recently, the National Trust for Historic Preservation listed two Chinatowns in Philadelphia and Seattle among America’s most endangered places. NBC News’ Vicky Nguyen speaks to businesses and community leaders about trying to revitalize these communities.

What Do We, American citizens and the Republications in office need to do to KICK OUT/Sequester President Biden, VP Harris, WH Democrats, FBI, DOJ, CIA and the Military – ASAP!!! WHAT can we do as citizens, Americans of the USA to take back our country RIGHT NOW? Is there a BIGGER, BADDER GUY OR GROUP hidden, somewhere out there….like a “The Imperial Wizard,”that is tucked away somewhere for just this kind of Betrayal of our USA Government?!
Again, I want to know where these 36% of Americans (a poll showed two weeks ago) that are still supporting President Biden and the WH Democrats. We know most of the 36% are in the “Blue States,”and am sure some are scattered throughout. We, true Americans that love our country for it’s freedom of speech, religion, education, and the select Americans that are farmers – that produce our food source, etc.
FIND THAT Imperial Wizard; FIND those groups that are for the people like, The Muskeers and/or Robin Hoods that work behind the scene (I know they are in hiding, waiting for that command).
Support Chinatown businesses ❤
Chinese American that is.
Hi five.
@xevious2501 no we’re talking about Chinese Germans… Of course they are American.
@John Crichton hmmm German Chinese food… hmmmm
Fu%# no
im sure chinatowns would get more funding if they were black
What about the culture in the bronx?
So only certain ethnicities can “preserve their culture” without being racist is that it?
Houston Chinatown was near downtown but moved out towards the southwest suburbs. It didn’t disappear.
It’s happening in Boston too
“New York China Town he grew up in.” No. New York does not belong to him. That man is not an American and never will be.
He’s not American? Are you handicap?
Incredible how the media is protecting and promoting the fracturing of America along racial, ethnic, and cultural lines. As if preserving chinatowns is a good thing for America.
YUM
Yum!
They are killing a magical place! Tragic
Heartless
90% of chinese owners were not born here…. and they send the majority of the profits back to china…. ive worked for many many many chinese owners all over the united states as a hibachi chef…. im no rasist but tbh im born here and want american money to stay in america not funneled out… great great people but i dont agree that its a way to profit china within american borders……
Edit…. i was asked from the owners brother (my spots manager) to help western union like $4900 to china but i was red flagged and they refused to let me send money to my “friend” in china 😅😅😅 now when owners ask me i just say no…
The only answer to the race problem in cities is to integrate and become one with the collective.
ALL CHINESE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN AMERICA TODAY SHOULD BE DEPORTED BACK TO CHINA! The Chinese people are here watching for CCP China and they report back on America to CCP China! CCP is the number one enemy of Americans! Get the Deportations started today!
See a therapist
All these Chinese people are owned by CCP! Even after they come here to America the CCP is still watching them and using them as spy’s!
Have talks and organize businesses. May be combine every two Chinatown into one. Have better business opportunities and security.
There’s only one Chinatown in each of the major cities. San Francisco is an exception. It has four Chinatowns, but they cannot be combined because they are separated by distance and supervisorial district boundaries.
I wish we would focus on space not war can we agree to forget about war and start focusing on getting all of us to space.
So we can trash space also! Brilliant. Keep up these excellent thoughts.
@Suzy obviously someone would come up with a trash spaceship system to throw away the trash silly.
The illegal migrants will eventually run Chinatown as well as the entire city…
Where are the rich beautiful Asians now?
We’re in either Europe or here in Quebec where we’ve always thrived and never had any societal issues;
we don’t care about the Asian experience in Anglo-American-Australian places, as they’ve always been a lost cause.
The lifeblood of america from early america that we have failed to reinvigorate and preserve
Why do Chinese men always cry?
what?
The american dream is dead.
Indeed.
Perhaps this is anecdotal – I live in an urban setting, never have I witnessed any of this so called “asian hate”. Anyone else?
Its the lords land not theirs.
They can go back to China, get to your roots .
Oh, so now preserving culture and community ISN’T racist?
🙏 Can we please separate how we might feel about Communist China from Chinese Americans and the Chinatowns that have been here for generations?
As a Latino man I want these ChinaTowns to survive. ASIAN LIVES MATTER
I support Chinese community They are all great
Move to the suburbs. Newer generations don’t live in downtown.
Maybe people don’t want to catch covid
Its just what happens. First it was irish turn down there then Italians then chinese. Next group will be at the bottom of the pole and make their way up
Why are we supporting our enemy
No worries. I am sure the culture is preserved in China.
