Abstract

Chinese American suburbanization mainly stems from the improvement of Chinese American social status and the prosperous Chinese American economy. Not only does Chinese American suburbanization promote the improvement of Chinese economic strength and social status, but also results in the diversity of sociocultural adaptation. The paper verifies that living in suburbs is a symbol of spatial assimilation of immigrants, which is an important step for immigrants to integrate into American society. Chinese Americans suburbanization plays an important role in the changes of Chinese American sociocultural adaptation and the integration into the mainstream society. On the basis of contemporary research, this paper summarizes the sociocultural adaptation models of contemporary Chinese Americans as: "traditional", "self-isolated", "transplanted and adapted" and "transnational".
