From the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937 to President Jimmy Carter's recognition of the People's Republic of China in 1979, transnational politics played a large role in shaping the Chinese American experience in the United States (U.S.). This study examines the activities of Chinese cultural societies in Seattle and Los Angeles. Their Chinese American members stayed connected with politics in mainland China and Taiwan and acted as cross-cultural mediators to educate the American public about Chinese culture. Transnational politics was a major factor that drove many Chinese Americans to increase their public presence outside of their ethnic enclaves and demand for acceptance as American citizens. Chinese Americans were also able to leverage white American interests in transnational politics in order to gain greater racial acceptance and respect of being both Chinese and American. These Chinese Americans adapted to changes in Sino-U.S. relations by using Chinese culture as a tool to craft and convey their own evolving political messages that suited their political and social needs at the time. Over the course of more than five decades, Chinese Americans used Chinese culture to show that they were non-threatening model American citizens who were educated, civilized, cultured, hard-working, and freedom-loving people. Teaching about Chinese culture was a way to show the mainstream public that Chinese Americans were not so different from white Americans where they shared a similar underlying passion for good food, music, and art. This study also shows that Chinese American involvement in transnational politics not only helped Chinese Americans gain cultural and social acceptance in American society but also played a role in helping some Chinese Americans further integrate themselves into American politics. Their activism in transnational politics ultimately led these Chinese Americans to find greater acceptance, integration, and inclusion in American society.
