As of 2012, 21.4% of the population in San Francisco was of Chinese descent, and at least 150,000 Chinese American residents. [1] The Chinese are the largest Asian American subgroup in San Francisco. [2] San Francisco has the highest percentage of residents of Chinese descent of any major U. City, and the second largest Chinese American population, after New York City. The San Francisco Area is 7.9% Chinese American, with many residents in Oakland and Santa Clara County. San Francisco’s Chinese community has ancestry mainly from Guangdong province, China and Hong Kong, although there is a sizable population of ethnic Chinese with ancestry from other parts of mainland China and Taiwan as well. Prior to health care. Struggles to establish health care. First medical facility: Tung Wah Dispensary. Natural disaster led to the first modern hospital. The Gateway Arch (Dragon Gate) on Grant Avenue at Bush Street in Chinatown. The Chinese arriving in San Francisco, primarily from the Taishan and Zhongshan regions as well as Guangdong province of mainland China, did so at the height of the California Gold Rush, and many worked in the mines scattered throughout the northern part of the state. [3] Chinatown was the one geographical region deeded by the city government and private property owners which allowed Chinese people to inherit and inhabit dwellings. The majority of these Chinese shopkeepers, restaurant owners, and hired workers in San Francisco Chinatown were predominantly Hoisanese and male[citation needed]. Many Chinese found jobs working for large companies, most famously as part of the Central Pacific[4] on the Transcontinental Railroad. Other early immigrants worked as mine workers or independent prospectors hoping to strike it rich during the California Gold Rush. Although many of the earlier waves of Chinese immigration were predominantly men searching for jobs, Chinese women also began making the journey towards the United States. The first known Chinese woman to immigrate was Marie Seise who arrived in 1848 and worked in the household of Charles V. [5] Within a matter of months of Seise’s arrival to the West Coast, the rush for gold in California commenced which brought a flooding of prospective miners from around the globe. Among this group were Chinese, primarily from the Guangdong Province, most of whom were seafarers who had already established Western contacts. Few women accompanied these early sojourners, many of whom expected to return from after they made their fortune. Although the oceanic voyage to the United States offered new and exciting opportunities, dangers also loomed for women while traveling and many were discouraged from making the trip due to the harsh living conditions. Chinese immigrants would have to ride in the steerage where food was stored. Many were given rice bowls to eat during the voyage. In 1892, a federal law passed to ensure immigrants who were on board, needed a certificate. Due to tight arrangements, unhygienic situations and scarcity in food, this led to health degradation. [7] Many immigrants were unable to board these voyages due to the Geary Act of 1892 which blocked the reunion of immigrants in America with their families not with them. [8] Many diseases found through these voyages were Hookworm Yersinia pestis which contributed greatly to the Bubonic Plague. “During the Gold Rush era, when Chinese men were a common sight in California, Chinese women were an oddity” and in urban spaces were rarely seen in public. Unlike the rural areas, Chinatown afforded few opportunities for women to come into contact with the larger society. “[6] Simultaneously, Chinese women also participated in urban sex work, which resulted in local laws like one passed in April 1854 that sought to shut down “houses of ill-fame, ” not racialized in name but practically deployed to “[single] out Mexican and Chinese houses of ill fame, starting with Charles Walden’s Golden Rule House on Pacific Street and moving on to establishments run by Ah-Choo, C. Lossen, and Ah Yow. With national unemployment in the wake of the Panic of 1873, racial tensions in the city boiled over into full blown race riots. Like much of San Francisco during these times, a period of criminality ensued in some Chinese gangs known as tongs, which were onto smuggling, gambling and prostitution. In response to the violence, the Consolidated Chinese Benevolent Association or the Chinese Six Companies, which evolved out of the labor recruiting organizations for different areas of Guangdong province, was created as a means of providing a unified voice for the community. The heads of these companies were the leaders of the Chinese merchants, who represented the Chinese community in front of the business community as a whole and the city government. Numerous white citizens defended the Chinese community, among them Pastor Franklin Rhoda whose numerous letters appeared in the local press. By the early 1880s, the population had adopted the term Tong war to describe periods of violence in Chinatown, the San Francisco Police Department had established its so-called Chinatown Squad. The anti-immigrant sentiment became law as the United States Government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 – the first immigration restriction law aimed at a single ethnic group. This law, along with other immigration restriction laws such as the Geary Act, greatly reduced the number of Chinese people allowed into the country and the city, and in theory limited Chinese immigration to single men only. Exceptions were granted to the families of wealthy merchants, but the law was still effective enough to reduce the population of the neighborhood to an all-time low in the 1920s. The neighborhood was completely destroyed in the 1906 earthquake that leveled most of the city. One of the more successful sergeants of Chinatown Squad, Jack Manion, was appointed in 1921 and served for two decades. From 1910 to 1940, Chinese immigrants were detained at the Angel Island immigration station in the San Francisco Bay. To be permitted entry to the United States, thousands of mostly Chinese immigrants crossing the Pacific to San Francisco had to enter through the gauntlet of Angel Island, and were detained for months in a purgatory of isolation. Some spent years on the island waiting for entry to the U. [11][12]The exclusion act was repealed during World War II under the Magnuson Act, in recognition of the important role of China as an ally in the war, although tight quotas still applied. The Chinatown Squadwas finally disbanded in August 1955 by police chief George Healey, upon the request of the influential Chinese World newspaper, which had editorialized that the squad was an “affront to Americans of Chinese descent”. Many working-class Hong Kong Chinese immigrants began arriving in Chinatown in large numbers in the 1960s, and despite their status and professions in Hong Kong, had to find low-paying employment in restaurants and garment factories in Chinatown because of limited English fluency. An increase in Cantonese-speaking immigrants from Hong Kong and Guangdong has gradually led to the replacement of the Taishanese (Hoisanese) dialect with the standard Cantonese dialect. The Golden Dragon massacre occurred in 1977. In the Sunset District in western San Francisco, a demographic shift began in the late 1960s and accelerated from the 1980s as Asian immigration to San Francisco increased dramatically. Much of the original, largely Irish American population of the Sunset moved to other neighborhoods and outlying suburban areas, although there is still a significant Irish American and Irish minority in the neighborhood. Informal Chinatowns have emerged on Irving Street between 19th Avenue and 26th Avenue as well as on the commercial sections of Taraval Street and Noriega Street west of 19th Avenue. About half of the Sunset District’s residents are Asian American, mostly of Chinese birth and descent. The immigrants in the Sunset District were both Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking. With the rise of the technology industry in Silicon Valley, many immigrants from China and Taiwan moved to the San Francisco Area. Many of them reside in the South Area cities of Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Jose, and Fremont. Chinatowns in San Francisco. Clement Street Chinatown, San Francisco, the “Second Chinatown”. Irving Street Chinatown, San Francisco, the “Third Chinatown”. Noriega Street Chinatown, San Francisco, the “Fourth Chinatown”. Chinatowns around San Francisco. Chinatown, San Jose, California. Milpitas Square, a Chinese shopping center in Milpitas, California. The Chinese Culture Center, a community-based, non-profit organization, is located between Chinatown and the Financial District in San Francisco. The Chinese Historical Society of America, since 1963, is a non-profit, and the first organization established in the US to preserve, promote and present the history, heritage, culture and legacy of Chinese in America through exhibitions, education, and research; the Museum is located in San Francisco’s original Chinatown on Clay Street. According to “Handbook of Asian American Health” by Grace J. Yoo, the late 19th century was a period of major epidemics in San Francisco, which included outbreaks such as the bubonic plague, smallpox, and cholera. These diseases were commonly found among the poor and working classes. At the time, many believed in the miasma theory, or the spreading of disease due to “breathing sick air”, rather than the now widely accepted germ theory. In 1876, the Chinese were blamed as the source of the disease because of the unsanitary conditions of Chinatown. The area was unsanitary and overpopulated because the city’s Chinese population was discriminated against, as Americans saw them as competition for work. This sentiment withheld services, such as access to healthcare or physicians, and property rights from the Chinese, causing them to cluster within Chinatown. Before the Chinese had any particular health care system for their community, all of them had to go through the following barriers: they had to walk a very long distance to receive any medical attention at a hospital, and they were denied coverage due to unaffordable rates of the services provided by the hospitals. Instead most Chinese relied on “folk healer” than on western medicine. The “Folk Healers” were those that provided Chinese traditional medicine to the Chinese community in San Francisco Chinatown. Therefore, many Chinese did not bother to go to the hospital unless it was a crisis. The first medical care place in San Francisco Chinatown was the Tung Wah Dispensary. It was provided by the Chinese Six Companies, and it was built in 1900 on 828 Sacramento Street. The dispensary was named after the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in Hong Kong, and it housed 25 beds, provided both western and Chinese medicine, free or to low cost care to patients, and its staff was volunteers from the community and physicians from outside of the community. Of those physicians three were American physicians and the rest were Chinese American physicians who helped with the Chinese medicine and translating from Chinese to English for the American physicians. In 1906, due to the great earthquake in San Francisco, the Tung Wah Dispensary was destroyed but was rebuilt in Trenton Alley. However, with the many injuries due to the natural disaster, a lot more Chinese patients needed medical attention, and the dispensary was beginning to overflow with patients. Therefore, they decided to expand the dispensary to a modern hospital. By April 18, 1925 the San Francisco Chinese Hospital in the San Francisco Chinatown was established. It is the only Chinese-language hospital in the United States. [16][17] The Asian Aids Project (AAP) was started in the 1987, it is made to help them fight the AIDS epidemic in the Asian Community including the Chinese Americans. This section needs expansion.

[20]The Chinese Basketball Association (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Zhongguó Nánzi Lánqiú Zhíyè Liánsài), often abbreviated as the CBA, is the first-tier professional men’s basketball league in China. It is widely regarded as the preeminent professional men’s basketball league in Asia. The league is commonly known by fans as the CBA, and this acronym is even used in Chinese on a regular basis. The CBA should not be confused with the National Basketball League (NBL), which is a professional minor league. There is also a Women’s Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA). A few Chinese players who competed in the CBA in the early stages of their careers – including Wang Zhizhi, Mengke Bateer, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, and Zhou Qi – have also played in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Others such as Xue Yuyang and Wang Zhelin were chosen in the draft, but have not played in the NBA. Only a limited number of foreign players are allowed on each CBA team. Notable imports include former NBA All-Stars Stephon Marbury, Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas, Steve Francis, and Metta World Peace – as well as several NBA veterans who would become CBA All-Stars – Michael Beasley, Aaron Brooks, Jimmer Fredette, Al Harrington, Lester Hudson, Kenyon Martin, Randolph Morris, Shavlik Randolph, Jeremy Lin and J. Domestic players from the CBA who are known for crossing over to the NBA. Domestic players from the CBA who were drafted but have not played in the NBA. Domestic players from the CBA who have only played in NBA pre-season games. Domestic players from the CBA who have participated in the NBA Summer League. Domestic players from the CBA who are known for league or national team exploits. Non-Chinese players who spent 5 or more seasons in the CBA. Non-Chinese players who spent 2 to 4 seasons in the CBA. Non-Chinese players for whom 2019-20 is their 1st season in the CBA. Other Non-Chinese players who spent only 1 season in the CBA. The CBA began play in the 1995-96 season. The league should not be confused with the Chinese Basketball Association (organisation), which was founded in June 1956[1] and represents the country in matters involving the sport’s governing body, FIBA. Basketball in China is currently regulated by the Chinese Basketball Management Center. Other Chinese basketball leagues include the National Basketball League (NBL), the Chinese University Basketball Association (CUBA), and the Chinese High School Basketball League (CHBL). [2] At one time there was a league called the Chinese New Basketball Alliance (CNBA), [3] one of whose most prominent teams was the Beijing Sea Lions, but this venture lasted for just one winter (1996-97). The first non-Chinese player to compete in the CBA was Mihail Savinkov of Uzbekistan, who joined the Zhejiang Squirrels in the league’s inaugural 1995-96 campaign. [5] During the 1996-97 season, James Hodges became one of the first Americans to play in the CBA, and his signing by the Liaoning Hunters helped pave the way for many more imports from the United States to follow in the ensuing years. Some other notable foreign pioneers included John Spencer, who joined the Jiangsu Dragons later in the 1996-97 campaign, and David Vanterpool, who inked a deal with the Jilin Northeast Tigers the following winter, and helped the team move up to the CBA in time for the 1998-99 season. The CBA’s first international coach was American Robert Hoggard, who led the Sichuan Pandas for the last eight games of the 1997-98 campaign. For a full list of teams, see Category:Chinese Basketball Association teams. The full name of each team usually consists of three parts, in the following order. A geographic designation (except in the case of Bayi, which technically translates into English as “August First, ” the day China’s People’s Liberation Army was founded). All others are province-level designations (either a province or a Chinese municipality). A corporate sponsor name. This sponsor may change from year to year, and sometimes even in mid-season. A nickname, such as the name of an animal. The presence of corporate sponsor names can occasionally lead to confusion about what name to use in English because many variants may be seen. Team names are usually abbreviated (in Chinese or English), so that either the corporate sponsor name or the nickname is used interchangeably (rarely both). In addition, team nicknames can sometimes be translated into English in more than one way, and corporate sponsors tend to change frequently over time. Nickname changes are rare, but occasionally happen, such as when the Shandong team switched from Flaming Bulls (1995) to Lions (2003) to Gold Lions (2004) to Golden Stars (2014). Other examples include the Liaoning team dumping Hunters (1995) for Dinosaurs (2008) and then Flying Leopards (2011) — as well as the Foshan team’s evolving attempts to “Anglicize” its nickname-by going from Kylins (2001) to Dralions to Long-Lions. In previous years, the title of the league itself was available for corporate naming sponsorship. While teams are listed by division here, the CBA does not use these designations for regular season purposes anymore, as each squad now plays each other once at home and once on the road (plus eight additional games within each of the four rotating “strength of schedule” sub-groupings). Divisions are used for the league’s annual All-Star Game, however, and are shown here for the sake of convenience. Location of the CBA teams. Beijing Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium.

Since the 2012-13 campaign, two awards have been handed out each year, Domestic MVP and International MVP. At the conclusion of each season, the CBA Finals MVP award is bestowed upon the most outstanding player in that year’s championship series. Each campaign’s scoring leader is also recognized on an annual basis and the league maintains a list of single game, single season, and career record holders in various statistical categories. Furthermore, a CBA All-Star Game MVP award is given to the player deemed to have the most impactful performance in the league’s annual mid-season exhibition contest. Main article: Chinese Basketball Association scoring leaders. The CBA’s highest single season scoring average, depending on how many games are required to be recognized as a statistical qualifier, is either 43.1 points per game by Jordan Crawford, who played in 26 of Tianjin’s 38 games (68.4%) in 2015-16, or 42.0 points per game by Jonathan Gibson, who played in 36 of Qingdao’s 38 games (94.7%) in 2015-16.
