Editing Chinatown, Manhattan (section)

===Chinese cultural standards===
Despite the more recently emerged large Fuzhou population, many of the Chinese businesses in Chinatown are still Cantonese owned. The Cantonese dominated western section of Chinatown also continues to be the main busy Chinese business district. As a result, it has influenced many Fuzhounese to learn Cantonese for businesses, especially large businesses like the Dim Sum restaurants on what is known as [[Little Fuzhou]] on [[East Broadway (Manhattan)|East Broadway]].<ref name="RosenbergDunford2011" /><ref name="Inc.2007">{{cite book |author=Let's Go Inc. |title=Let's Go USA 24th Edition |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SMGOgKLHbz8C&pg=PA99 |access-date=July 25, 2012 |date=November 27, 2007 |publisher=Macmillan |isbn=978-0-312-37445-7 |pages=99– |archive-date=March 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240314172505/https://books.google.com/books?id=SMGOgKLHbz8C&pg=PA99#v=onepage&q&f=false |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://nychinatown.org/ebway.html |title=A journey through China town |publisher=Nychinatown.org |access-date=November 15, 2009 |archive-date=March 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240314172606/http://nychinatown.org/ebway.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The Fuzhounese, the subgroup of non-Cantonese-speaking Chinese with the most interactions with Cantonese, also constitute the majority of non-native Cantonese-speaking Chinese. Many of the Fuzhou immigrants in the 1980s and early 1990s learned to speak Cantonese to maintain jobs and communicate with the Cantonese-speaking population in addition to the fact many of the earlier Fuzhou immigrants had lived in [[Hong Kong]] adapting into the [[Culture of Hong Kong|Hong Kong culture]] and speaking [[Cantonese]], which gave them better advantages to integrating into the Chinatown community as it was still very dominantly Cantonese speaking.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3jUTCgAAQBAJ&dq=fuzhou+immigrants+in+hong+kong&pg=PA151|title=God in Chinatown: Religion and Survival in New York's Evolving Immigrant Community|isbn=9780814731543|last1=Guest|first1=Kenneth J.|date=August 2003|publisher=NYU Press|access-date=January 30, 2022|archive-date=March 14, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240314172606/https://books.google.com/books?id=3jUTCgAAQBAJ&dq=fuzhou+immigrants+in+hong+kong&pg=PA151#v=onepage&q=fuzhou%20immigrants%20in%20hong%20kong&f=false|url-status=live}}</ref> However, since the 2000s, newer Chinese immigrants have largely spoken [[Mandarin Chinese]], the national language of China.<ref name="Keefe2009" />{{rp|38}}<ref name="Chinesechange" />

A significant difference between the two separate [[Chinese province|Chinese provincial]] communities in Manhattan's Chinatown is that the Cantonese part of Chinatown not only serves Chinese customers but is also a tourist attraction. However, the Fuzhou part of Chinatown caters less to tourists.<ref name="Lin2011">{{cite book |author=Jan Lin |title=The Power of Urban Ethnic Places: Cultural Heritage and Community Life |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7a2_J2Z8s-YC&pg=PA226 |access-date=July 25, 2012 |year=2011 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=978-0-415-87982-8 |pages=226–}}</ref><ref name="Wang2001">{{cite book |author=Xinyang Wang |title=Surviving the City: The Chinese Immigrant Experience in New York City, 1890–1970 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PzynALMFtEEC&pg=PA79 |access-date=July 25, 2012 |year=2001 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-0-7425-0891-0 |pages=79–}}</ref> [[Bowery]], [[Chrystie Street]], [[Catherine Street]], and [[Chatham Square]] encompass the approximate border zone between the Fuzhou and Cantonese communities in Manhattan's Chinatown.<ref name="Chin1999" />{{rp|112}}

Unlike most other urban Chinatowns, Manhattan's Chinatown is both a residential area as well as commercial area. Many population estimates are in the range of 90,000 to 100,000 residents.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nyhabitat.com/blog/category/new-york/new-york-travel-guide/new-york-neighborhoods/lower-east-side/|title=New York Habitat Blog : Lower East Side|website=www.nyhabitat.com|access-date=April 11, 2019|archive-date=March 26, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190326112705/https://www.nyhabitat.com/blog/category/new-york/new-york-travel-guide/new-york-neighborhoods/lower-east-side/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/04/24/magazine/there-s-more-to-chinatown.html?pagewanted=all%3Fpagewanted%3Dall |title=There's More To Chinatown |work=The New York Times |first=D.
