Plan to Contribute to Chinese Boycott of 1905

Chinese Boycott of 1905 The article has a good lead article but it lacked information regarding the Boycott. For example, under the section: Events Leading to the Boycott, there was not enough information as compared to the lead article. The bullet points are good but I would think that perhaps having sentences that summarized how that event lead to the boycott would be good.

Draft

A majority of Chinese migrated out of China to go to the United States suffered a huge amount of discrimination and prejudice compared to Chinese who have gone to other countries.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was created to ban more Chinese immigrant from migrating into the United States. Once the Chinese Exclusion Act was enacted, the government officials were merciless and arrested every Chinese men they could find, regardless of the fact that some of them do own the proper paperwork to stay in the United States. The U.S government official's ill-treatment of the Chinese men has created tension between the Chinese and Americans. ~

The beginning of the boycott began on 10 May 1905, where the Chinese were upset with the United States immigration policy towards their own people. Telegrams were sent by Tseng Shao-Ching, leader of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce to merchants to boycott American products. The boycott extended itself not only within China but also to other countries like the Philippines, Singapore, Japan and Hawaii.

The Chinese Boycott of 1905 was a large-scale boycott of American goods in China that began on 10 May 1905 in reaction to a string of anti-Chinese events in the United States. Due to the Burlingame Treaty of 1868, an influx of Chinese men was brought to the United States to help with building the Pacific Coast railroad. The anti-Chinese events includes violence against Chinese immigrants, such as the quarantines of Chinatown during the San Francisco plague of 1900–1904, also known as the Bubonic plague and the Boston Chinatown immigration raid in 1903, as well as discriminatory laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act, 1882 and Geary Act, 1892. The boycott originated when the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of San Francisco called upon the people of China to pressure the United States into treating the Chinese immigrants in America better. Afterwards, telegrams were sent out by Tseng Shao-Ching, leader of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce to merchants to boycott American products, if the merchant refuse, the boycott committee will ensure that they follow their instructions. The boycott extended itself not only within China but also to other countries like the Philippines, Singapore, Japan and Hawaii. The boycott lasted for almost one year and garnered support from all major Chinese organizations. It came to an end when the Qing government, under pressure from the United States government, revoked its support for the boycott. Ultimately the boycott did not change any discriminatory laws, however, the Chinatown raids eventually ceased.
