Ultimately, anti­Asian sentiments have diminished drastically in Canada between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. New immigration policies, urbanization of Chinatowns, and the establishment of Chinese organizations have enhanced the quality of life for Chinese Canadians. In the 1880s, Chinese Canadians faced poor circumstances with racism emanating from both the Canadian government and its people. When the Chinese Exclusion Act was established, it faced resolute opposition from Chinese organizations; however, the government did nothing. It was only until the end of World War Two that the Act was repealed, and immigration was once again possible. Due to the efforts of Chinese organizations, Chinese immigrants in the 1980s achieved respect and fair treatment; ultimately, a group that was severely persecuted grew into a resilient, strong, and prosperous community.
