| Description | The paper focuses on the history of Chinese immigration to the United States of America. It deals primarily with factors of migration from the point of view of the United States, with various aspects that stimulated the migration but also with law restrictions and other factors that limited the immigration of the Chinese to U.S. The paper summarizes historical, political and economic circumstances of trans-Pacific interests of the United States. Reviewing theoretical approaches to factors of migration, the paper identifies two basic groups of factors: socio-economic and political-ideological, the former including e.g. the need for cheap labor force, the latter including e.g. the concept of manifest destiny. The paper divides the immigration of the Chinese to the U.S. into three periods: 1) from the beginnings to 1882, 2) from 1882 to 1965, and 3) from 1965 up to the present. |
