	Chinatowns in Latin America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinatowns in Latin America (Spanish: barrios chinos, singular barrio chino) developed with the rise of Chinese immigration in the 19th century to various countries in Latin America as contract laborers (i.e., indentured servants) in agricultural and fishing industries.
		Unlike the Chinatowns of Anglo America and Europe, pure-blood ethnic Chinese are relatively few in number due to generally lower levels of Chinese immigration to some parts of Latin America.
		Nonetheless, Havana's Chinatown was formerly among the largest in Latin America as the neighborhood comprised of 44 square blocks during its prime.

	Chinatowns in North America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinatown is on Payne Avenue in the downtown area known as the Quadrangle.
		The main centre of the older Chinatown is Pender and Main Streets in downtown Vancouver, which is also, along with Victoria's, one of the oldest Chinatowns in North America, and has been the setting for a variety of modern Canadian literature.
		To the north of the city of Toronto, the Markham and Richmond Hill, Ontario are noted for its large concentration of Chinese strip malls; in 2001, 30 percent of Markham's population, or 62,355 people, was of Chinese descent.

	Chinese in N. America
		In the early years of settlement, many of the old urban Chinatowns were involuntarily settled by Chinese immigrants due to de jure (i.e., codified by law) segregationist policies by several municipalities, states, and provinces.
		However, this Chinatown saw much development during the 1980s and 1990s after an exodus of Chinese American merchants—who were already experiencing stiff and ever-growing competition and rising costs of rent in the San Francisco area—across the Bay Bridge and increased immigration from mainland China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand.
		The old Chinatown of New York City is centered around Canal Street in Manhattan, but at least two other satellite Chinatowns have cropped up in Flushing, Queens and in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn around 8th and 17th Streets.

	Chinatown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Today, the old Chinatowns are still heavily populated by Taishanese and Cantonese people (the former is slowly being overshadowed by other Chinese dialects), although as part of the American right-wing "melting pot" ideology, most of the "assimilated" second-generation and other descendants of the early immigrants have merged into the general non-Chinese population.
		Sun Yat-sen visited many old Chinatowns to gain moral and financial support of Chinese Americans for his cause against the ruling Qing government and later to gain support for his fledging Kuomintang, a pan-Chinese establishment, that prior to 1949 was based in Mainland China.
		Chinatowns are found in the Australian cities of Sydney, New South Wales, Melbourne, Victoria, Perth, Western Australia, and Fortitude Valley (a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland).

		Today, the old Chinatowns are still heavily populated by Taishanese and Cantonese people (the former is slowly being overshadowed by other Chinese dialects), although as part of the American rightist "melting pot" ideology, most of the "assimilated" or Americanized second-generation and other descendants of the early immigrants have merged into the general non-Chinese population.
		The salient issue of working-clash Chinatowns common through out the North America is the matter of gentrification, some of which are in responses in general urban decay or to the developing of new satellite "Chinatowns" in urban quaters or out in the suburbs.
		To the north of the city of Toronto, the Markham area is noted for its large concentration of Chinese strip malls; in 2001, 30 percent of Markham's population, or 62,355 people, was of Chinese descent.

		Chinatowns were formed in the 19th century in many areas of the United States and Canada as a result of discriminatory land laws which forbade the sale of any land to Chinese or restricted the land sales to a limited geographical area and which promoted the segregation of people of different ethnicities.
		Chinatowns were established in European port cities as Chinese traders settled down in the area.
		In the past, overcrowded Chinatowns in urban areas were shunned by the general non-Chinese public as ethnic ghettoes, and therefore seen as places of vice and cultural insularism where "unassimilable foreigners" congregated.

	AoIR Abstract
		The overarching purpose of this research is to identify the ways in which notions of spatiality operate in the multicultural environment of Vancouver’s Chinatown and as a means to characterize cyberspace as a distinct space by comparison to physical space.
		Additionally, Chinatowns in North America share a common history of immigration, exclusion, and complex negotiation of spatial boundaries within their respective host cities.
		Thus, Chinatown presents a unique opportunity to study both cultural negotiation of boundaries and more specific to this paper a comparison of these socially constructed boundaries with those represented on the various websites dedicated, in this case, to Vancouver Chinatown.

	Fly, Drive Or RV Vancouver
		The drive along the bay is quiet scenic and the hunge number of ships anchored out in the roads testify to Vancouver's place as the second largest port in North America.
		North Vancouver also offers a major RV park at the end of Lions Gate Bridge on the Capilano River near Capilano Recreational Vehicles Ltd. (1151 marine Drive, North Vancouver, B.C. V7P 1T1) that rents VW campers and camping gear for tours of the Canadian Bush or Vancouver Island.
		Snacking through Chinatown on dim sum and "just one" raids on the varied foods sold in in underground malls require either much rationalization a la "all this walking burns off calories" or more self-control than most own to stop eating long enough to work up appetites for a sitdown meal.

	BUBBLE TEA WOLDWIDE - A Pearl Tea and Boba Tea supplies & wholesaler
		Now that North America has been pursuaded to try a drink you can eat, the question is who came up with this thing in the first place?
		From there, international traders pushed the product into Chinatowns across North America where it flourished, partly because it was "big overseas." By the late '90s, in the cities where it had really caught on, bubble tea moved outward to non-Asian shopping areas and night-life districts.
		The drink was popular partly because it was big in Asia, but also because it arrived at a peculiar moment in the history of the North American beverage industry: Throughout the second half of the 1990s, the North American palate was developing a taste for increasingly bizarre caffeinated drinks.

		Cantonese, a sharp, cackling dialect full of slang and exaggerated expressions, was never the dominant language of China.
		But it came to dominate the Chinatowns of North America because the first immigrants came from the Cantonese-speaking southern province of Guangdong, where China first opened its ports to foreigners centuries ago.
		It is also the chief language of Hong Kong, the vital trading and financial center that became China's link to the West.

	Historical Roots of the Tong & Yan Clans
		The local dialect is a variant of Cantonese, with a number of differences in pronuciations, vocabulary, and tones.
		The Toysan dialect was brought overseas by Chinese immigrants and established in many Chinatowns across North America, where it is still spoken.
		During ancient times, most Chinese lived north of this area, and Guangdong was considered a hostile, forbidding, back country territory suitable for exiling criminals and political prisoners (China's version of Siberia).
