US treating Chinese Americans as yellow-peril is racist and unconstitutional, not only it has not end, it is getting worse. Those defending US Government illegal acts are equally evil. By Johnson Choi, MBA, International Business Consultant since 1985
Times flies! This picture was taken 11 years ago with San Francisco Superior Court Judge Julie Tang and Professor Ling-Chi Wang of UC Berkeley! Two Chinese Americans patriots not afraid to stand up against Western Hegemony! Julie Tang was one of the original organizers helped raised US$1 million to place comfort women statue in SF. Many had received death threats from Japanese crime syndicate at the time as well as protest by the Japanese government! Professor Ling-chi Wang also received death threats for supporting PRC returned to the UN. He also fight US Government on racist attacks on Chinese Americans! And in Wen Ho Lee case – US Government using fake information to prosecute him, Professor Ling-chi Wang successfully organized legal team to defeat US Government case, and the judge apologized for US Government of abuse of power! They are doers, not talkers!
“Today’s China is like the Chinese who came to Hawaii in the last century—having to survive under extremely hostile and adversarial conditions.” By Johnson Choi, MBA. International Business Consultant since 1985
“Half a Century in Hawaii: A Chronicle of the Chinese Entrepreneurial Spirit I Have Witnessed—From Chun Afong to Today’s Immigrants, a Legacy That Endures”
Having lived in Hawaii for over fifty years, I have personally witnessed how Chinese pioneers, in a society dominated by whites, built their way up from sugarcane fields and small grocery stores through mutual aid, hard work, and wisdom—eventually establishing business empires spanning banking, real estate, and media. This very spirit is exactly what I saw in the Chinese immigrants I met in the 1970s and 1980s, and in their first-generation children. They started from nothing, worked tirelessly, and not only achieved business success but also gave back to their communities with selfless patriotism. This century-spanning struggle is the most moving testament to the resilience of the Chinese people.
Why is DeepSeek willing to wait a year just to buy Huawei chips? This isn’t about buying chips—it’s about betting on a domestically produced alternative future! I have to give DeepSeek and Liang Wenfeng a thumbs up.
On September 4, Bloomberg broke a big story:
DeepSeek placed an order with Huawei for 160,000 Ascend 950DT chips, with a total order value of $2.56 billion. These chips are destined for a 1-gigawatt data center in Inner Mongolia, which at full load would consume enough electricity to power 750,000 households.
But here’s the kicker—Huawei’s total production of the 950DT this year is only a few hundred thousand units, and key components like high-end memory are bottlenecked. Completing this order will take at least a year. DeepSeek has even turned to Beijing for help in coordinating.
What’s even more surprising is that these chips are primarily for AI inference, not training. In the most critical area—model training—DeepSeek still cannot do without Nvidia.
DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng himself has said that about four Huawei chips are needed to match the performance of one Nvidia chip, and that Huawei still lags about two years behind in technology. Yet, even so, DeepSeek placed this “knowing it would have to wait, knowing the gap” mega-order.
Think about it—we get impatient waiting for a phone to ship, but here’s a $2.56 billion order, and they’re willing to wait a year.
He built more than 800 apartments in the middle of Honolulu and did not keep ONE of them. Not the rent. Not the land. Not even his name on the buildings.
When people wanted to put Clarence T.C. Ching’s name on Kukui Gardens, he said no. He agreed to a single thing: a small plaque, nailed to a kukui tree. It did not stay on that tree for long.
這場出售實現了他當初建造的目的。他的基金會此後已向夏威夷的學校、醫院和慈善機構捐贈超過八千萬美元。夏威夷大學的運動綜合場館、PBS Hawaii 園區、Makiki 的天主教慈善機構園區——將近二十棟建築如今掛著他始終拒絕冠上的名字。Ray Tam 和 Cathy Ching 笑著說，他們的叔叔和祖父不會喜歡這樣，但他們覺得他會理解。
Clarence Thing Chock Ching was born on June 2, 1912, in Anahola, a plantation village on the north shore of Kauai. His parents, Ching Koon Hook and Kam Sing, had come from China to work the rice fields. He was the fifth of eleven children, and he was sickly. His father looked at the frail boy and made a prediction the family still repeats: “If he survives, he will become an important, prosperous and outstanding man. He will help the rest of our family.”
He survived. He boxed at Saint Louis School, graduated in 1932, and studied real estate at night while running the family store at Damon Tract. One of his regular customers was Sam Damon, whose family owned a fair piece of Oahu.
In January 1957, the two men happened to be on the same flight to San Francisco. Somewhere over the Pacific, Damon leaned across and asked, “Do you want to buy the entire ahupuaa of Moanalua?” Ching asked how much. Nine million dollars. He did not have nine million dollars. Damon looked at him and said, “Clarence, I trust you. Just pay me as you develop.”
That handshake moved 1,074 acres. Out of it came Salt Lake, called the biggest fee-simple project in the history of the Territory of Hawaii. A rice farmer’s son from Anahola was now one of the biggest developers in the islands.
Then he called each of his ten brothers and sisters, and then each of his wife’s nine, and told them he had done well and wanted to share it. His nephew Raymond Tam remembers his mother hanging up and saying, “I don’t know why, but Uncle Clarence is deeding property to all of us.” Nineteen people. The ʻohana his father had told him to help.
In January 1967 he won the bid on 19.5 acres between Liliha Street and Aala Street, and did something stranger still. He did not buy it for himself. On August 8, 1967, he signed a trust agreement creating the Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation with $10,000 in cash, and the Foundation took the land. The federal mortgage came with a 40-year condition: the rents had to stay low. He put hundreds of thousands of his own dollars into the construction anyway.
The first families moved into Kukui Gardens in May 1970. More than 800 apartments. About 2,500 people. His son Wallace would later call it his father’s “crowning achievement.” There was no meaningful return on the money for decades, and Clarence Ching had arranged it so the return would never be his.
“He did not make a dime from Kukui Gardens,” Raymond Tam says. “How many other successful businessmen would undertake such a project?”
When the Chinese Cultural Plaza went up in Chinatown, they wanted to name that after him too. He refused again, and told his associates the plaza was for the whole Chinese community, not for him. Clarence T.C. Ching died on May 29, 1985. He was 72.
Twenty-one years later, the homes he gave away went up for sale. The 40-year rent condition was running out, and in 2006 the board announced it was selling, in its words, “in order to sustain the viability of the Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation.” Letters went out to 2,500 tenants. Kelly Arrington, 23 years in her apartment, told the Star-Bulletin: “My worst fear is that I’m going to be homeless.”
Then the tenants organized. About 100 residents packed a meeting that March. That August they announced a sign-waving on Liliha Street. Community leaders, the Lingle administration, and elected officials leaned in.
In December 2007 the complex sold for $132.5 million to Carmel Partners and the State of Hawaii, and 389 of the apartments, on 11 acres, were bought back into affordability for $72 million. Rents there are locked affordable until 2062. On October 26, 2010, Senator Daniel Inouye came to Kukui Gardens for its 40th anniversary. Carol Anzai, 38 years in her four-bedroom, said it for everyone: “I never thought that we’d win.”
The sale did what he built it to do. His Foundation has since committed more than $80 million to Hawaii schools, hospitals, and charities. The UH athletics complex, the PBS Hawaii campus, the Catholic Charities campus in Makiki: almost two dozen buildings now carry the name he kept refusing. Ray Tam and Cathy Ching laugh about it. Their uncle and grandfather would not have liked it, they say, but they think he would understand.
And the plaque? It came off the kukui tree long ago. It sits today on the lanai of his granddaughter Cathy Ching, the only monument Clarence T.C. Ching ever agreed to. “I’m waiting for the right kukui tree,” she says. The man who housed 2,500 people asked for one small plaque on one tree. His family is still keeping that promise for him.

After spending three days in Los Angeles, he suddenly said that upon returning to China, he wanted to apologize for his past remarks.
This fellow is named Jiang Xueqin, born in Taishan, Guangdong in 1976. He immigrated to Canada at age six, graduated from Yale with a degree in English literature, and has long been a commentator on China in Western media circles, amassing a large overseas audience.
Twenty years of prejudice, dissolved by a three-day trip to Los Angeles—truly astonishing speed. The wealth disparity and street disorder in Los Angeles are already matters of public record; the homeless population there has long exceeded 70,000. One need not set foot there to know this.
Over the years, China has gone from following behind to running alongside the world’s best—high-speed rail crisscrossing the country, the Shenzhou spacecraft reaching for the skies, and an economy steadily ranking second in the world. All of this has been achieved through the real, tangible efforts of 1.4 billion people, not through the approval or apology of some overseas commentator.
To embrace all rivers is magnanimity; to pay no heed is confidence. It matters far more to turn our gaze inward, refine our work, and perfect our craft than to watch who apologizes.
What do you think—does this apology, twenty years late, carry any weight? Is it sincere or just for show? Is it genuine reflection, or a performance of “cognitive awakening”?
Pinglu Canal was delivered on Monday and will soon enter service as China prepares to open the strategic waterway designed to support surging trade with Southeast Asia. Robust trade with Southeast Asia helped China weather a renewed trade war with the United States in 2025. Beijing now seeks to accelerate diversification for exporters while injecting fresh economic impetus into inland regions close to Asean, with the Pinglu Canal serving as a critical piece of infrastructure to form a link. 平陸運河於週一交付，並將於短期內投入服務，值此中國準備啟用這條戰略性水道之際，其設計旨在支援與東南亞之間急速增長的貿易. 與東南亞之間強勁的貿易往來，協助中國度過了2025年與美國重啟的貿易戰。北京當局如今力求加速出口商的市場多元化，同時為鄰近東協的內陸地區注入新的經濟動力，而平陸運河將作為一項關鍵基礎設施，肩負起連接的重任。 https://weixin.qq.com/sph/ArPrnU16Kv https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8cbjb5Y/ https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0hpk1EkpbcVgBhtNZP1V1Sg2fGU7SqjG9Avvk9gi6EjpvdPCbTajFcJADHbJoKMnKl&id=100036400039778&mibextid=wwXIfr
