What is the mission of Sino American Reunion?
Our main mission is to provide assistance to second-and-later generation Sino Americans/Canadians who are seeking to return to China, or who have already returned.
What are Sino Americans?
Sino Americans are American citizens of Chinese descent. The term is equivalent to "Chinese American" and we have no objection to the use of the latter. However, we believe that such designations as ABC, American Chinese, and Westernized Chinese are discourteous, as they seem to promote a Race Realist worldview.
What is Race Realism?
The belief that one's race determines not only his (or her) physical, but also his (or her) mental traits.
Does Sino American Reunion believe in Race Realism?
As it happens, we do not. We consider people to be products of their education, citizenship, and religion — and ultimately of their free will.
Why has Sino American Reunion adopted the Politically Correct position regarding Race Realism?
As it happens, we have not adopted the left-leaning American position — commonly known as the Politically Correct position. The left-leaning American establishment regards culture as hereditary, encourages the formation of ethnic enclaves, promotes the idea that every ethnic group (except white people) has a common will, encourages adopted children to research their genetic parents and pay respects to them, and rejects proposals for race-blind education. They are very far from upholding the ancient doctrine of mind–body separation, a doctrine which goes all the way back to Plato.
What are Telemaths?
We sometimes use the Greek term Telemath to refer to citizens of a given country (usually China) who hold degrees (or who are in the process of earning those degrees) from the universities of other countries.
What are Exgons?
We sometimes use the Greek term Exgon to refer to descendants of immigrants, as opposed to the immigrants themselves. In the context of immigrants from China, many people are in the habit of referring to Exgons as ABCs, BBCs, CBCs, XBCs, and so forth, but we try to avoid these slang-terms.
What are Integrationists?
Integrationists are Sino Americans/Canadians who just want to be Americans/Canadians, regarding their ethnic status as trivial or incidental. Many of Sino American Reunion's early members came from an Integrationist, not an Enclavist background, for instance Mr Yuan, who grew up in Michigan.
What are Enclavists?
Enclavists are Sino Americans/Canadians who are deeply conscious of their ethnic status, preferring the company of each other and harboring a slight (sometimes severe, as in the case of Azn Identity) distrust of white Americans/Canadians. It is important to note that being an Enclavist does not imply fluency in the Chinese language. Moreover, nearly all Enclavists view the attainment of American/Canadian citizenship and education in a positive light.
What are Reunionists?
Reunionists are Sino Americans/Canadians who desire to leave America/Canada and resettle in East or Southeast Asia. Two examples of Reunionist organizations are Sino American Reunion and Journey to the East.
Does Sino American Reunion have any religious affiliation?
Some aspects of our Editorial Policy are influenced by Neoplatonism. Otherwise, the organization has no religious affiliation. Among the early members of the organization were two Catholics and one Episcopalian.
How is Sino American Reunion different from Azn Identity?
Azn Identity is a community upon Reddit whose members are hostile toward white people, but are generally approving of American citizenship, American education, and — insofar as flagrant Racism is not at work — American culture. Sino American Reunion, in contrast, is opposed to American citizenship and education, and to many aspects of the American mentality, while bearing no resentment toward white people in the abstract. Azn Identity encourages people from East Asia to continue immigrating to the United States, whereas Sino American Reunion believes that the United States is unsafe, and encourages the children and grandchildren of immigrants to leave. One further difference between the two communities to bear in mind is that Azn Identity embraces partisan politics and seeks to influence legislation, whereas Sino American Reunion is explicitly non-partisan.
How is Sino American Reunion different from the Committee of 100?
There are not a few differences. The Committee of 100 embraces American citizenship, education, and culture — and supports American geopolitical interests. The membership of that organization is largely composed of elderly first-generation Sino Americans who incidentally continue to extol immigration, while Sino American Reunion strongly advises against immigration as being a moral hazard and a hotbed of child-abuse. We have only this message for them: it is impossible to teach an old dog new tricks, and impossible to teach an immigrant the meaning of the word "loyalty."
How is Sino American Reunion different from Qiao Collective?
Qiao Collective is a group of Sino Americans who criticize American politics from a Marxist–Leninist perspective. In contrast, Sino American Reunion on account of being a non-partisan organization tries to stay away from political discourse. We do not seek to influence the passage of legislation, nor do we offer endorsement of political candidates. Among other things, Sino American Reunion has no opinion regarding whether President Biden or President Trump is better.
How is Sino American Reunion different from Journey to the East?
We have a collaboration with them, in fact. The activities of Journey to the East were largely centered around the Clubhouse platform. We highly recommend their informational pages which contain lifestyle-advice for those going to the Mainland of China as well as Taiwan.
What is Consuetudinism?
The term Consuetudinism was coined by Mr Yuan in early 2019 in reference to the very modern belief that a person's moral character comes from (or is dependent upon) his empathy and/or "nonverbal communication" skills. Consuetudinism stands in contrast to the ancient Western worldview of Confessionalism, according to which, moral character comes from the professing of correct beliefs, and from subsequent adherence to those beliefs. It is the opinion of Mr Yuan that Consuetudinism is the barrel-bottom of human morality and the prime doctrine of the coming Antichrist. Unfortunately, American culture is the modern-day stronghold of Consuetudinism, and aspects of that philosophy have been, for decades, deeply interwoven into their educational system, especially at the middle- and high-school levels.
