    I think that it would not be fair to generalize. On one hand you have China Town in Yokohama - which could indicate that Chinese do not integrate. On the other hand, you have so many Chinese women who marry Japanese men, and blend in by becoming "japanese housewifes".
    There are good and bad people everywhere

    I disagree with both your opinions.

    Having China Town doesn't mean that Chinese don't assimilate into a country, afterall, Chinese food and goods are very common internationally in most counntries around the world.

    I think everytown in Australia has a Chinese restaurant..

    Having said that, I am still to hear from a Japanese person if Chinese people do actually assimilate.

    We have an Australian Town in Australia which proves my point..

    Chinese women who "become" Japanese housewives doesn't really make much sense either on assimilation..
