Fuzhounese Americans

[3][4] There are also a number of undocumented Fuzhounese immigrants in the United States who are smuggled in by groups such as snakeheads.

[5][6][7][8] Fuzhounese Americans helped develop the Chinatown bus lines system, which originated as a means to transport restaurant workers from New York City to various parts of the northeastern United States.

This reflects a control strategy to balance two situations: the obligation to involve family in the operation of the business, and the prevention of collusion between the manager and the staff against the owner.

[12] A large proportion of these discount intercity bus services in the United States are operated by Fuzhounese Americans.

Destinations include most major cities, especially those with Chinatowns, as well as casinos popular with Asian Americans.

[14] Despite increased regulation and crackdowns in the early 2010s,[15] they have been credited for pioneering the curbside carrier model of intercity bus operation,[16] as well as having been touted as "an authentic urban experience" for travellers.

Second-generation Fuzhounese have high rates of educational attainment and often work in professional occupations like tech and finance.

Data from the 2005–2009 American Community Survey suggests there are around 1,450 Fuzhou speakers in the United States, although the number is likely to be far greater as most respondents simply wrote "Chinese".

Many of the earlier Fuzhou immigrants learned to speak Cantonese to find work and to interact with most of Chinatown's residents.

[19][20][21][22] The Little Fuzhou enclave slowly emerged on the eastern borderline of Chinatown, which was still overlapped with some Latino and Jewish populations.

Compared to previous Chinese immigrants, Fuzhounese Americans tend to have a more favorable view of the People's Republic of China.
