Dr. Amy Chua 是耶鲁大学法学院的 John M. Duff, Jr. 冠名教授，研究国际商业。 她的父母均为中国人 (华裔)，从菲律宾移民美国。Dr. Amy Chua 毕业于加州的 El Cerrito High School (1980 年)，获该年度该校第一位毕业生的美誉 (Valedictorian，共 384 位学生毕业)。毕业后，她先后在哈佛大学获得了文科学士 (1984) 和法学博士 (1987) 学位。
在担任耶鲁大学教授后，Dr. Chua 先后出版了两部学术专著。在二零零二年出版的《燃烧的世界 - 自由经济和民主的输出是怎样繁衍出种族仇恨和环球不安的》(WORLD ON FIRE, Subtitle: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability) 一书中，Dr. Chua 对当前美国向全球强行推广自由经济和民主人权的政策进行了深刻反思。
Like her or not, she is a US-educated professor, working in a US university. She's been carved and will live in such a way. At least her view on "兼容併蓄" is plausible for immigrants.

You will not like her after you read her book "World on Fire". Believe me. From my point of view, she is quiet limited in her life circle, such as rich Chinese overseas in Southeast asia. She created or developed two theories: minority dominated market and hyper-power. Not very impressive for me at all. In her book "World on Fire", she repeated samilar case to different countries again and again. Her attitudes towards mainland Chinese were really bad. She even said that 'the most recent arrival Chinese are the most disliked, and they are impressed people by talking loud and spite everywhere'.She totally distinguished herself from other Chinese, especially mainland Chinese.

She analyzed all the questions according the so called comparative history point, and never did she consider the dynamic developments of the other countries -- especially China and Russia.The main reason for the US is the No.1 in the world nowadays is benefited from its political structure which can find the suitable people to do the suitable things rather than 'tolerance' itself. The connection between the US and the other countries through is too weak and I couldn't see that can create anything related to 'loyalty'. The presidential election of 2000 between Gore and Bush shows that the US changed already -- the government is also dominated by families and really brilliant ordinary people don't have the chance to live in White House anymore, which indicates that US loses its advantage of its political structure and that's the start of its declination. In the last 7 years the Bush administration is nothing but 'a fly without its head', many other countries suffered from that but the Americans didn't get any benefit from that either. For 2008 presidential campaign, I haven't found any candidate can compare with Clinton yet.
