Chinese Voters Came Out in Force for the GOP in NYC, Shaking Up Politics​

From Sunset Park in Brooklyn to Elmhurst and Flushing in Queens, frustrations over Democratic stances on schools and crime helped mobilize votes for Republican Curtis Sliwa for mayor and conservative City Council candidates​

“Like so many New Yorkers, they’re concerned about public safety, the quality of their kids’ education, the rising cost of living and how the politicians controlling Albany aren’t fighting for the priorities most important to them,” said Katie Vincentz, a spokesperson for Zeldin’s campaign.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island, Brooklyn) described the growing Asian shift to GOP support as a reaction to the direction of rival Democrats.
“They are incredibly upset that the Democratic Party dismantled a lot of laws that kept the community safe, like the bail reform,” she told THE CITY.

“There has been a war against the gifted and talented program by the de Blasio administration,” she added. “The gifted and talented program and specialized high schools are tools that give many Asian Americans, mostly immigrant families, opportunity. Especially with the Chinese community, education is so incredibly important.”
Candidates like Zeldin could get a boost from Asian New Yorkers like Ling Fei, a popular conservative WeChat blogger who owns a computer repair shop.

He told the activists his goal is to help register 4,000 new Chinese voters in Sunset Park, preferably for the Republican Party, in the next one or two years. “We have a big untapped pool of voters, and many of these unregistered voters are new immigrants who are conservatives,” Fei said.

Ummm....they're Americans of Chinese descent.

If they were Chinese, they should not be voting in our elections.

I have a ton of Chinese neighbors, most arriving about 8 years ago. Not sure if they can vote yet, but the 2 closest families put up GOP yard signs a few weeks back.

Huh. And the progs would have me believe that anyone living in a socialist paradise like what the CCP created would want to replicate that here.

Now I'm beginning to wonder if socialism is such a good idea after all.
