Guillermo Berry · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

At the beginning of the twentieth century to 1931 about 66,946 immigrants moved from China to the United States of America. Chinese immigrants were the largest group of Asians in the United States who were mostly engaged in restaurants business, laundry, etc. But the exclusion practices and indifferent attitude of the Americans towards them because of economic competition, made them feel like temporary sojourners and their assimilation in the American culture at that time remain limited.
