Vandalism, Self Edits, and Conflict of Interest[edit]

CAMDC

On May 7th, 2024 CAMDC deleted introduction sections identifying that per its own YouTube channel and the museum itself, that early promotion was by People's Republic of China state media and designated foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.

Previous article iterations, and article were essentially single source, self-edits, and self promotion, including by museum director David Uy. This is not objective and violates Wikipedia's terms of service.

Examples include the self proclaimed that the museum is "a bold undertaking". The only source is from CAMDC's website itself.

Furthermore even without the obvious foreign interference, the original article was not organized by exhibit, floor, or other events CAMDC sponsors. Even with identifying that CAMDC is part of the United Front Work Department, what I wrote was an improvement.

Updates[edit]

Sources

Sources for CAMDC are all from CAMDC itself. China Daily, CGTN, and SinoVision are designated foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.

CAMDC Philip Qiu is quoted in China Daily (cited) in a copy on display in the museum. The same copy quotes accolades by the Embassy of China in Washington, D.C.

Additions

If CAMDC is a museum dedicated to Chinese Americans, it is missing several groups, including those from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, and why they immigrated. FarEasternMarket (talk) 20:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
