I am living in Vancouver. There are a lot of Chinese living and working here, including myself. Some of my friends said they like Chinese because they contribute to the local economies. For example, most of the luxury brands are consumed by Chinese. The Chinese international students are increasing dramatically for last a few years.
However, others said they think Chinese are annoying. They do not obey the rules, especially Chinese drivers.
What is your thought about it ?

I do not think it is right to generalize people, there are good Chinese and bad Chinese, the same way there are bad Filipinos and good Filipinos. It's impossible to judge a group of people in your community based on ethnicity alone, I look at people as individuals

There are several Chinese dominated communities in the Los Angeles area but none where I live. There is the proverbial Chinatown in downtown. I rarely interact with Chinese so can I can't form a negative or positive opinion.

@122037 In general I have a good impression of Chinese people. Smart, industrious, family oriented, tradition. They do tend to stick their own communities where all signs even billboards are in Chinese and not really assimilate but that's basically those from the old country and typical of immigrants throughout US history. Young people like you go out and mix it up bringing your culture to others and exploring theirs.

I have a lot of Chinese friends. I don't have problems with them. They are business minded and wise spenders.

Well...I never like stereotyping. I like Chinese people. I find them to have similar ethics to that of Indians. ...so that's easy to get along and understand. I currently do not have any Chinese friends though...never really had the opportunity to interact.

Here the Chinese community is quite reserved, they simply mind their own business. And that's a good thing, I mean, they don't harm people or steal things.
Some people don't trust them because of their reservedness, some of them don't pay the taxes and their strong competition seem like affecting our economy in a negative way.
When it comes to individuals, I must say I like them. They're friendly, they like me, so I like them back. 
Some people say I look a bit Asian, maybe that's one of the reasons.

Hi Sabrina, I agree with you. It is the same as Vancouver. There is a district in Vancouver call Richmond which dominated by Chinese. Most of the resturants in there only take cash, which I think it is for reducing tax.
For the individuals, I think our culture mold our humble and friendly personality.
When I saw you the photo, initially I thought you are a pretty Asian girl.

The Chinese in my country had been around for hundreds of years even before the Spaniards came. Some people are just not used to the Chinese, that's all. There are good and bad people who ever the human tribe is.

Yep, sometimes, people can not get well with each other because of different culture.
