North America originally belong to indians. You are not qualified for asking this question.
in other words, America have good Opportunity and fair sociaty.
China’s govenment have make many serious mistakes. espicially when under the control of Mao zedong. Now, there are still many problems in democracy and execution of law.
you seems to reveal “why China is so bad”.
I apologize if I misunderstand you meaning. good luck.

Hong Kong,a former British colony, went back under Communist control in 1997. That cause lot of uncertainty for the Hong Kong people during the ’90’s. Lots of people don’t trust the communist government despite China’s promise not be change Hong Kong for 50 years. (Macao, a Portuguese colony, went back under Communist control in 1999.)
Fearful of China would not keep its promises to Hong Kong, lot of Chinese emigrate to England and other British Commonwealth country like Australia, and Canada.
Lots of Hong Kong people emigrate to Canada because it is easier to gain entry than the US, Many Chinese are buying properties in Canada, real estate prices are going up faster than the US. Some have 2 homes, one in Canada where they would live when it is summer in Hong Kong. One in Hong Kong when it winter in Canada.
Without money it is almost impossible to emigrate to the US legally. The waiting period is about 25 years for someone to sponsor a sibling to come to the US The waiting period is about 12 years for parents to sponsor a married children

Companies here went to China and put out flyers for workers on the railroads. They came here in droves because the peasants were barely surviving. There weren’t enough jobs for them so they started small businesses in CA. Laundry, cook shops, renting rooms, etc.
They worked hard even though they were really looked down upon.
They also went to where the gold rushes were and provided support services to the miners. I have to admire the way they persevered in the face of tremendous adversity.

for those that had any choice, it was for opportunity.
why didn’t your family stay in their own country?

Because there was opportunity in the United States. The reason everyone comes here.
