Chinese community finds a pleasing lifestyle in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH: Optimistic, sophisticated and upwardly mobile, the Chinese population of Pittsburgh represents much of what's going right in the area.

The city's high-caliber universities and its opportunities in fields such as bioscience, medicine and finance have drawn a vibrant population of Chinese and other Asian immigrants, many holding master's and doctoral degrees. And they're glad that, as the Group of 20 summit comes to town, the rest of the world will see what their adopted home city has to offer.

Perhaps, they hope, it will even spur more Chinese companies to look at the area as a place to do business.
