The few Chinese immigrants I've met can either be really anti-communist or just apolitical. Some move because of "repression", some moved because they were fooled like a lot of other immigrants that the "streets are paved with gold" or in other words basically a guarantee of success.
My in-laws are not really political at all. It's funny because whenever I discuss politics with them, I can bring up my dirty commie ideals and they don't really bat an eye at it. Other families I can think of in my dating history? Good lord; I'd be skinned.
As an immigrant I can tell you for a fact that a lot of immigrants tell stories of repression to get into the good graces of Westerners. I have heard people say shit that was absolutely untrue. I am not Chinese or Cuban, but I have heard it from others.

I swear, I’ve never met someone of Chinese descent in the US (citizen or not) who ever even opines about communism the way Cubans do.
