唐人街是一个很特殊的华人社区,尤其在美国最为突出,它以华人为主体构成,与外界较少发生关系,目的是为了保护自身的文化安全和生命财产安全,这不仅仅是因为中国文化具有保守性,也是由于美国或当地政府的排华政策促使华人生活区紧缩。 Chinatown is a very special Chinese community, especially in the United States. It is made up of Chinese people and has few relationships with the outside world in order to protect its cultural security and life and property. This is not just because Chinese culture has Conservative, but also because of the United States or the local government’s Chinese policy to promote the Chinese living area contraction.
