As I read through the text for this week I found it very interesting how the treatment of certain Asian immigrants reflected America’s foreign policy. For example, during the Chinese exclusion China was unable to protest due to how they were seen as weak, while Japan was able to stand up for their people in America because they were seen as a powerful nation in Asia.
