The new Chinese immigrants fall into two separate categories. One consists of the 4,000 Chinese students and about 1,000 technicians who were in America when mainland China fell to the Communists. Their presence brought about an upswing in average income and educational level for the American Chinese community.
新僑則大分為兩類，一是大陸淪陷後，當時在美國的四千名留學生，及約一千名技術人員；他們的加入，使美國華人的平均收入與教育程度暴漲。
