Immigration historians have often looked at the Chinese as sojourners, itinerant workers who intended to return to Asia, but the Chinese were not unique. Many people from throughout the world, including the eastern United States, hoped to go back home once they made their fortunes in Nevada. Few were, in fact, as tenacious as the Chinese, but eventually most left.

Whereas elite standards of gender were promoted as the ideal throughout Chinese society, in reality “feminine” behavior was shaped by economic class and social status. Among elite families, proper young women were sequestered in the “inner quarters,” their chief company the other women of the household. Their self-imposed cloister within the domestic sphere was considered a marker of propriety and restraint, qualities promoted for both men and women in neo-Confucian culture. However, this “restraint” was only possible for women who had servants to facilitate their seclusion. By contrast, rural women who lived in farming communities regularly left their homes to tend fields or visit the market, their economic situation making the division of their household into inner and outer (private and public) realms near impossible.

This position was rejected by the Republic of China and subsequent People's Republic of China, which claim that these areas were integral parts of Chinese dynasties even before the Qing, and that the Han, Manchus, Mongols, or other ethnic groups all established Sinocentric dynasties. China ... claimed historical control of these territories as part of imperial China over two thousand years.
