"On June 18, 2012, U.S. Congress unanimously passed resolution (H. R. 683), which apologized for the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Acts and expressed regret for all the injustice inflicted on Chinese immigrants and Chinese-Americans during the Chinese exclusion period from 1875 to 1943.Congresswoman Chu made a statement shortly after the resolution was passed on June 18. ""The Chinese Exclusion Act enshrined injustice into our legal code - it stopped the Chinese, and the Chinese alone, from immigrating to the United States, from becoming naturalized citizens and even having the right to vote,"" she said, ""The last generation of people personally affected by these laws is leaving us, and finally Congress has expressed the sincere regret that Chinese Americans deserve and reaffirmed our commitment to the civil rights of all people."" The repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Acts in 1943 permitted Chinese immigrants become naturalized citizens.

The evolution has been spurred by changes in American immigration policies, labor markets and the increasing economic development of China as well. The history of Chinese-Americans is the history of dreams, hard-work, prejudice, discrimination, persistence and triumph of the American spirit."
