In this clip Evelyn Wong looks into the divided reaction of Boston's Chinese American community to United States-China normalization. Peter H.F. Wong, President of the New England Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, thinks the normalization of relations is entirely inappropriate. Overall the program examines the divided reaction of Boston's Chinese American community to United States-China normalization (through President Carter's December 15, 1978 announcement recognizing the People's Republic of China and the establishment of diplomatic relations). Show features a point-counter-point segment between Michael Liu, a member of the Chinese People's Progressive Association and pro-normalization advocate, and Ying Ma, a student from Taiwan attending Harvard Law School who is pro-Taiwan / anti-normalization. Program includes additional on-location interviews conducted by Evelyn Wong, with Peter H.F. Wong (President of the New England Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association), Susanne Lee (active community member of the Chinese People's Progressive Association), Yon Lee (Director of the Chinese Cultural Center, Boston), and attorney Thomas Hwang.
