NEW YORK -- Anthony, a software engineer in his 50s, moved from China to the U.S. in 1992 as a university student. In 2007, he became an American citizen. Over a decade later, many of Anthony's fellow Chinese immigrants and expats feel uneasy in their adopted country due to President Donald Trump's steady stream of anti-China invective.

But not Anthony: He voted for Trump in 2016 and intends to do so again this November.
