List of Chinese Americans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of notable Chinese Americans, who are famous, have made significant contributions to the American culture or society politically, artistically or scientifically, or have appeared in the news numerous times.

See also a List of Taiwanese Americans, a list of Americans descended from Taiwanese people. 98% of the population of Taiwan is of Han Chinese descent, so there is some overlap between the two lists.
