Me neither. Because it’s true!

My father came to the United States (from Taiwan, native Taiwanese) for graduate school and stayed because he felt at the time, the opportunities in the U.S. were better.

I kept the Taiwanese out of it. :) My mom is Chinese. My dad is Taiwanese.

As for Hu Jintao being the George W. Bush of China, I think that is going a bit too far :-). Actually, I have no idea what Hu Jintao has done or hasn't done for China. Akrypti – I think “goons and thugs” would be too gentle a phrase for the Bush administration :-) .
