Chinese Immigrants in Silicon Valley and Beyond

We are delighted to announce the launch of our “Chinese Immigrant in Silicon Valley and Beyond” project which is supported by the Santa Clara County and in part by The Awesome Foundation San Jose.

Silicon Valley is home to one of the largest foreign-born populations in the US. About 38% of the two million people in this area were born outside the US, and immigrants make up 70% of the workforce in highly technical occupations. Chinese immigrants account for a significant proportion of the workforce in Silicon Valley, particularly in Santa Clara County. Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, anti-Asian and anti-Chinese rhetoric and behaviors have surged. “My Story, My Community, My Home” photoblog showcases the wide range of Chinese immigrants and promotes interracial and intercultural communication and understanding. It also highlights Chinese immigrants’ contribution to local communities and beyond.
