[edit] 50% of the Chinese Canadian population are rich
About 50 percent of the Chinese population in Canada, are rich. It may sound unbelievable, but it is true. Before 1997, many rich Hong Kong Chinese immigrants have immigrated to Canada. In addition, wealthy Taiwanese immigrants have settled in Canada. Recently, Chinese international students who are rich enough to afford education in the West, have also settled in Canada. When these groups are combined, the population is large, am I right? But there is still more. There are still more rich Chinese groups that most Canadians neglect to heard. They are corrupted mainland Chinese officials who've fled to Canada and Chinese prostitutes who've made their fortunes from corrupted officials in China and then fled to Canada. About 50 percent of Chinese Canadians are rich and the other 50 percent are just poor or middle-class Chinese Canadians. 08:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC) -Zeppo
- Two things:
- 1)How do you define rich?
- 2)Where are your reference(s)? (internet site, newspaper article, etc.)

"Rich" is a subjective term. From one perspective, one can say that everyone living in Canada is rich. That translates to 100% affluence, or perhaps, "rich" in your terms...and some people living in a third world country is "poor". That's a fairly rich observation you made. Now define rich.

- To me, rich defines that the value of your home plus the total income in your saving add up to one million dollar or more. 16:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC) -Zeppo

- Inflation and wage increase means that we would all be rich in the years to come... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.20.192.54 (talk) 03:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC).

- Successful, rich and educated people generally don't have children or have less children. If you are poor and uneducated, you will have more children. That's just the fact of life in developed countries. Sonic99 01:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese term
In Canada there are several terms for "Chinese Canadian". Two terms in particular (one of which is not mentioned in the current article) are:
- 加藉華人 (lit. "Chinese person with Canadian citizenship", corresponding to the English term "Canadian Chinese")—an older term which stresses the Chinese identity; Canadian citizenship being secondary
- 華裔加人 (lit. "Canadian person of Chinese ancestry", corresponding to the English term "Chinese Canadian")—a newer term which stresses the Canadian identity; Chinese ancestry being secondary (This term is listed in the current version of the article)
The term "加拿大華人" looks like a straight translation from English. It's in current use, too, but I'm not sure about if there are any similar nuances in meaning. (Just by looking at the form of this compound, it probably just means "Chinese person in Canada", but the WP editors certainly would like to want citations for this to death.)—Gniw (Wing) 18:08, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] time to rid our community of self promoters
Now what defines a "prominent" Chinese Canadian? As the list of names grow longer...I can't help but to notice a number of names that are in red colour. In this wiki community, that's a word without a link to more info. So, if a name is placed on this list, there should at least be the courtesy explanation of who the individual is. Otherwise, it's just hollow.
I recognize a few of the names and admit that the majority of the people on the list has contributed to the overall Chinese Canadian identity, but let's keep the list real and respectful. Flytrap canada 20:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
