Whether they are a burden or not would depend where the Chinese came from. A 60 year old person who worked in rice paddies won't catch up. They usually come from a good family background and any of the SoCal neighborhoods that had an Asian invasion got an upgrade, crime went down and school test scores went up. That is what happened to the neighborhood my High School was in, the sports teams went downhill other than tennis and badminton, but the school dominates the intellectual competitions. I am sure the chess team now kicks ass and takes names.
