Chinatown Updates Discussion

[Echowinds]

In many ways, the new Chinese immigrants have little cultural affinity with Chinatown's. The core Chinese group in Chinatown were early Chinese immigrants from the Cantonese provinces of China, which does have a modest connection with the HK immigrants from the 90s. However, current Chinese immigration is for the most part from the rest of China, which has minor cultural affinity with Chinatown. The main cultural institutions and organizations in Chinatown all speak Cantonese.

It also doesn't help that Chinatown's located in an area with a bad reputation and that Richmond is a much more comfortable area to settle in general, especially for families and younger people.
