>>But they borrow from other Chinese people in the US? And from Chinese banks in places like San Gabriel, CA (LA suburb)? << I do not live in CA, so not sure whether they borrow from the Chinese banks. But I think even if they do, they borrow it for buying house, or car, not other things. I think Koreans are borrowing from each other (a lot of Korean small business people borrow from each other), not Chinese. Relatively speaking, some Chinese from Taiwan who have lived here long enough are more likely willing to borrow personal debt (except for buying house or cars). My aunt has some credit card debt. I guess the group of Chinese I was talking about are from China (mainland), and most of them have professional jobs. But even if Chinese students who only lived on limited scholarships would not borrow money for every day consumption.
