The relationship between the City and its Chinese community has often depended on the economic climate. Sue Lee, executive director of the Chinese Historical Society of America, discusses how efforts by the establishment to move Chinatown out of the city after the earthquake and fire were resisted — and led to the adoption of chinoiserie as an architectural strategy to define territory. Today, with liberalized immigration laws, new populations are adopting their own strategies for survival.
