Notice how these native Hong Konger do not speak Cantonese with a lazy accent. Please tip your dim sum cart server well because these dim sum push cart restaurants in America could be seeing their last days as the next generation finds this work too difficult.

Dim sum cart service is a dying tradition. But at Golden Palace in Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst neighborhood, two women are keeping it alive.
Pik Chan and Cheong Yin Ho have worked together for nearly two decades. They weave through packed dining rooms, pushing heavy, metal trolleys laden with stacks of bamboo steamers. Amid the roar of the lunch rush, they communicate without speaking — a glance or a quick hand gesture for chicken feet, beef balls, cheung fun, bean curd rolls — always understanding each other perfectly.

The Trump administration has escalated its clash with Harvard University, with Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth announcing an end to all military programs with the Ivy League school. Hegseth criticized Harvard as “woke” and unfit to train future U.S. military leaders, cutting off fellowships, training, and certificate programs. The move marks a sharp break from decades of academic ties and comes amid growing pressure on elite universities. The Pentagon said it will now review similar partnerships with other institutions.

Harvard is an agent for the CCP. University endowments should be taxed to fund public schools.

A recent investigative report revealed that Harvard University trained Chinese government officials who were complicit in the ongoing genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, which could constitute a violation of the United States’ sanctions. But this revelation barely scratches the surface of the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of Harvard and US higher education broadly.

Chinatown is really all San Francisco has left to draw in the tourist dollars to keep the city's mom and pop economy floating and keeping the hotels full when there are no convention events scheduled.

But this year’s preparations feels different, and part of that is because a field office of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE sits just a couple of blocks from the northern border of Chinatown, literally casting a shadow over the nation's oldest Chinatown.
While a telephone call last fall between Mayor Daniel Lurie and President Trump stopped the deployment of National Guard troops and stepped up immigration enforcement in city neighborhoods, there are fears that the situation is temporary.

Liu was considered the frontrunner female recruitment prospect for China as a part of its "naturalization project" to recruit overseas athletes in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Her father, however, would not be persuaded.[5] In March 2022, it was reported that Liu and her father (who had left China as a political refugee following his participation in the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests in 1989) had been targeted in November 2021 by spies allegedly under direction of the Chinese government, in an operation to collect private information on Chinese political dissidents living in the United States. One spy posed as a U.S. Olympic Committee official and requested copies of their passports. Her father stated that the scheme was likely designed to "intimidate" him and to "silence" him from "say[ing] anything political or related to human rights violations in China"; he added that he was concerned for his daughter's safety while she was in Beijing but he agreed to let her compete after receiving assurances that the U.S. State Department would take additional precautions to protect her.
