Chinese work ethic outdoes Americans
Sunny K Park • October 10, 2023
Your editorial on the first business day of 2005 is a disappointment (“Chinese new year,” Jan. 3).
I am frustrated by the loser’s attitude I see among young, healthy Americans. Attitude is an effective strength China has over us. The Chinese work many more hours than Americans, who play many more hours than the Chinese.
Our trade deficit will never be fixed until all Americans start working as many or more hours than the Chinese. I fear we may have to read the same editorial every year.

The Ellis Island Honors Society honors the importance of immigration to America’s prosperity and celebrates the contributions immigrants and their progeny have made to our nation. In 1986, Ellis Island Honors Society founded the Ellis Island Medals of Honor to commemorate the indefatigable spirit of those who immigrated to the United States during the Ellis Island era. The Medal is presented annually to those who have shown an outstanding commitment to serving our nation either professionally, culturally or civically, among other criteria.
