The Chinese government today similarly monitors the activity of followers of unregistered Catholic groups, Protestant house churches, and Buddhism practiced outside of the licensed Buddhist groups. The government asserts the right to appoint the religious leaders of the five major organized religions: Catholicism, Protestantism, Buddhism, Daoism, and Islam. The exercise of this traditional claim of government authority has led to frequent conflict with those who follow the Catholic pope, on the one hand, and the Dalai Lama, on the other.

Chinese vermicelli (mien) is a clear, transparent and dry fine noodles make from mung bean starch. They are available at the grocery stores for oriental food, especially at those featuring Chinese and Korean items. There is ... a special kind of mushroom used in this soup, called "wood ears" or "cat ears" because of their resemblance in shape and color to cat's ear, and because they grow from a kind of dry wood. Wood ears do not have any mushroom flavor but they are used for their crispness.

In the late nineteenth century, Guild's Lake was home to a number of Chinese immigrants, who had small houses and vegetable gardens on the edge of the marsh. Like other Chinese people in the Pacific Northwest, they often faced harassment and racism.

Historian Arthur Thurner writes of parents threatening their children with being sold to the local Chinese proprietors to be butchered for chop suey (Chin 12). One boy recalled being frightened to pick up his father’s laundry at Ngan Lee’s shop, only to discover that Lee was friendly and jolly man (Chin 13). Views of the Chinese were often more explicitly racist as was the case of a Ontonagon newspaper which reported in 1907 that the town had “one chink and like most of his ilk he has an inquiring mind and thirst for the coin of the realm . . . He is not adverse to turning a few cartwheels in other lines [but] washee washee is his regular vocation (Chin 14).” In 1943, the Daily Mining Gazette reported that “the last of the celestials” had left Calumet. Ngan Lee, a thirty-year resident who had been in ill health for some time, had retired and moved to Chicago to live with sister. The brief article concluded, “ Ngan’s familiar little shambling figure will be missed by those who daily saw the friendly celestial making his calls at the business houses (Chin 15).”

There have been a number of changes to the Ethnic origin classifications between 2001 and 2005 entry, including the division of White into British/Irish/Scottish/Other and the introduction of other groupings such as mixed and Chinese. Direct comparisons between the years are therefore not recommended.
