The Other Ellis Island
Between 1910 and 1940, roughly one million immigrants—mostly Chinese—passed through the Angel Island immigration station near San Francisco. Unlike Ellis Island, where European immigrants were processed within hours, those at Angel Island were detained anywhere from two weeks to two years, thanks to racist policies under the Chinese Exclusion Act. Read our piece here, about the newly renovated immigration station museum, set to open next month.

Any ill in China can be totally exonerated by an atrocity in the US. This atrocity started in 1910. It took the US almost a hundred years to come clean and show it all to the public. Therefore, China can wait for at least a hundred years to come clean about anything. Since China started in 1949 (therefore, there is no such thing as 5000 years of history), China does not need to come clean about anything for at least another 50 years.
