Saturday, Spring Festival day, while gathering with my children, I talked with one of them about Chinese women's experience in America. We don't have enough literature on this topic. It's important not to overgeneralize the writings on this subject.
The established authors mostly touch on the experience of older immigrants before 1980s, the conflicts between traditional Chinese family and the large American Society. The new arrivals from mainland China since 1980s are a whole new batch of immigrants. One salient difference is women's status. Specifically, they don't have that much prejudice against women.
The more traditional the society is, the lower the women's social and economic status. Traditions across Asian cultures are not kind to women. My Indian student told me, she does everything at home, while her husband and parents-in-law do nothing. That's what supposed to be. So do my Korean students. They were surprised to learn that Chinese men cook at home. In both countries they pretty much keep their old traditions.
In China the government advocates, "时代不同了，男女都一样," that is, "Times have changed, men and women are the same." The statement emphasizes the equality between men and women, a gigantic departure from the old Asian traditional gender roles and norms.
In this sense, the policy in China aligns very well with the broader global trend towards gender equality and the importance of treating all individuals equally regardless of gender.
