<i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In 1905, a special census was taken of Montana’s Chinese residents. Whereas the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act limited entry of laborers at the borders, this 1905 census built from harsher restrictions of the 1890s
seeking to find and deport Chinese lacking proper documentation. Concurrent with this census, two Chinese reformers, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, exiled from China following a reaction against their reform efforts, sought allies in overseas Chinese communities.
As Kang and Liang visited Montana, they witnessed unfair treatment of the state’s Chinese, notably through the humiliation of the census round-up and resulting deportations. Gaining empathy through this exposure to the plight of the Chinese in the American
West, Liang and Kang advocated on their behalf, initiating a China-wide boycott of American products to pressure the American government to improve treatment of Chinese in the U.S. The coming together of exiled Chinese reformers with a class of Chinese they
otherwise would never have encountered sparked one of the first manifestations of unified Chinese nationalism, with unlikely roots in the experience of the Chinese in Montana. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
