What My Six Decades in America Taught Me
I immigrated to America on June 6, 1965, from Taiwan, carrying with me big dreams and expectations, mingled with fears of the unknown. I was 17, and it was at the height of the Vietnam War. A year later, I enlisted in the Air Force and instead of being sent to the frontlines, I was deployed to England for three years to do aircraft maintenance. Coming home from military service, I saw an America that was full of opportunities. I spent a year working on Wall Street but was drawn to public service, which landed me in the New York City Department of City Planning as an economic development researcher. While in that job, I also moonlighted as a writer for a Chinese-language newspaper, where I noticed that many Asian American small businesses were confined to small ethnic enclaves, competing among themselves. Asian American professionals working for major corporations were trapped in their jobs and regarded as good workers but not managers. U.S. flags flying in the wind are pictured. U.S. flags flying in the wind are pictured. Getty Images The small businesses lacked political clout and unity, making it difficult to get the attention of the government for resources and support. Many of the professionals were short on social skills and further hampered by cultural barriers that prevented them from rising to leadership positions. And yet, it was a time of profound societal change. During the 1970s and 1980s, I witnessed America's convulsions: civil rights marches, Vietnam War protests, and the rise of technology. These influenced me to be involved in community, social and civic affairs, and to take actions to affect changes in my community. I wanted to expand Asian enterprises into broader markets and create opportunities with other communities. I wanted to raise the representation of Asian American professionals in corporate leadership. This became the catalyst for the work of the Asian American Business Development Center (AABDC), which I founded in 1994 to be a bridge between Asian American corporate professionals and entrepreneurs to the larger society and to foster better integration of Asian Americans into mainstream society by deepening mutual understanding and collaboration. For decades, I believed in the alchemy of participation—I showed up at city council meetings, lobbied for fair lending policies, drafted proposals for minority business grants, and sat on boards where I was the only Asian American. Together with like-minded allies across the color spectrum, we worked for better representation in corporate boardrooms, pushed for equitable access to capital, and created programs to help Asian-owned businesses expand beyond ethnic niches. For decades, we worked with the belief that America was slowly, painfully, but inevitably moving toward inclusion. And then—the backlash. Just as we began to see the fruits of our labor—more Asian American executives, more cross-cultural business partnerships, more recognition of our community's contributions—the political winds shifted. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), once framed as moral imperatives, were suddenly branded as divisive. Policies we championed were dismantled under the guise of "colorblindness," as if decades of exclusion could be erased by pretending race didn't matter. Politicians who once paid lip service to multiculturalism now stoked fears of Asian Americans as "perpetual foreigners" or threats to "American values" and even to national security. This is more than disappointment. But disappointment does not mean defeat. The AABDC's work continues, not because the path is easy, but because it is necessary. I have spent 60 years in this country—40 of them fighting for a seat at the table. I will not now, at this stage of my life, let that table be overturned. I know there are others from all corners of society who feel the same, but perhaps are being silenced by the winds of change. I'm far from my 17-year-old self. But I still have big dreams and expectations, and a belief that this is still a land of opportunity for everyone. We belonged then. We belong now.

PSG's Champions League glory could have been Barcelona's if Deco's vision was followed
PSG's Champions League glory could have been Barcelona's if Deco's vision was followed Barcelona's incredible resurgence under Hansi Flick, culminating in a domestic treble in the 2024/25 season, has rightly earned widespread praise. Much of the credit has gone to the players and their new manager, but behind the scenes, one figure's quiet work continues to shape the foundation of this success – Deco, the club's sporting director. Advertisement It os easy to get lost in the glitz of silverware and tactical brilliance, but SPORT's latest revelation sheds light on how Barcelona's current trajectory might have followed a very different path, one that Deco had originally planned. What's the story? When the decision was made to part ways with Xavi, Deco had only two names on his shortlist for the job: Luis Enrique and Rafa Marquez. Deco believed Enrique was the ideal candidate to extract the most from Barça's promising young core. His impressive history with the club and flair for managing youth talents made him Deco's preferred choice. Barcelona did make attempts to lure Enrique back, but the timing was not favourable. The former Barça manager had just finished his first season with PSG and was not prepared to walk away. Deco wanted Barcelona to re-sign Luis Enrique. (Photo by) In hindsight, Enrique's continued brilliance was clear for all to see as he went on to guide PSG to a continental treble, adding a second to his managerial record. It is a development that quietly validates Deco's initial judgment. Desire Doue's case Deco's eye for talent has also stood out in other areas. While all eyes were fixed on Nico Williams last summer, Deco had Desire Doue high on his radar. Advertisement Barcelona had an interest, but financial restrictions imposed by La Liga and PSG's swift manoeuvres left them powerless. Luis Campos, the sporting mastermind behind PSG's recruitment strategy, ultimately sealed Doue's signing, but not without Deco having first identified the talent. Interestingly, Deco had long advocated for Campos even before joining Barcelona's internal structure. During Joan Laporta's presidential campaign, Deco, then still a football agent, urged Laporta to appoint Campos, believing him to be the ideal figure to unearth talent amid a looming financial crisis. Laporta opted for Mateu Alemany instead, and he was later replaced by Deco himself.

Champions League final: What time is PSG vs Inter Milan today and how to watch on TV
Paris St-Germain take on Inter Milan in Munich in the Champions League final today in a battle to be crowned champions of Europe. The Italians were the first side to book their place in the final courtesy of an incredible 7-6 aggregate semi-final victory over Barcelona that Telegraph Sport called the greatest-ever Champions League tie. Advertisement The following night, PSG joined them thanks to a 3-1 aggregate win against Arsenal. PSG have never won the Champions League/European Cup, but did make the final in 2020. Inter Milan are three-time champions (1964, 1965, 2010) and have been beaten finalists three times (1967, 1972, 2023). What date is the Champions League final? Today! Saturday, May 31, 2025. What time does it start? The match is scheduled to kick off at 8pm BST. What TV channel is it on? TNT Sports 1, with live coverage of the game starting from 6pm. It will include analysis from Karen Carney, Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves. How can I stream the Champions League final and is it on YouTube? TNT Sports will not show the Champions League final on YouTube in the UK, unlike in previous years. Advertisement However, viewers can watch the Champions League final for free on Discovery+. It is necessary to register for a free account to view the live stream. What is the host stadium? Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, which will be known as the Munich Football Arena for the final. This is due to Uefa, the tournament's governing body, not recognising stadium sponsors under their rules regarding sponsorship. Munich Football Arena Can I still get tickets? Tickets for the final can be bought on the official Uefa website. What is the latest news? Paris St-Germain boss Luis Enrique has challenged his players to write themselves into the club's history by winning the Champions League. Advertisement In a video clip posted on the club's official X account, Enrique said: 'There's only one match left. There are only two teams left in the Champions League, Inter and us. 'Inter is a more experienced team than us. There's no doubt they deserve to be Champions League finalists, and I think we can be proud of what we've achieved. 'But we need to finish the job because our aim is to go down in history.' PSG, who were beaten by Bayern Munich in the 2020 final, have dominated domestic football in France in recent years, but Champions League success has remained elusive. This season's campaign has been far from straightforward – they needed to win their final three league phase matches against RB Salzburg, Manchester City and Stuttgart to book a last-16 play-off against Brest, and then edged past Premier League sides Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal to make it to Munich. Advertisement Enrique said: 'If we analyse everything that's happened in the Champions League this season, it would make a great thriller or horror film or even a very good series because there's been a bit of everything from the very first home game against Girona, when we would have deserved to win before the 90th minute and by taking advantage of an error by our opponents. 'We deserved better results in every game in the league phase, especially at home, but we didn't get them. 'Then for the last three matches of the league phase, we had only four points - four points - and we were more out than in. If you don't score goals, you don't win games.' Who is the referee? Romania's Istvan Kovacs. What is the prize money? The winner of PSG-Inter will take home £21.5 million, with the runner-up banking £15.9 million. Advertisement Champions League prize money increased by a third this season after the competition's revamp. The total prize pot went up to £2.06 billion for the new 36-team format, compared to £1.74 billion in the previous iteration. Each club that qualified earned an automatic £15.7 million – even if they lost every game and went out at the league phase. Every league-stage win also earned a club £1.8 million and a draw £590,000. For finishing in the top eight of the league phase, which sealed automatic qualification to the last 16, Uefa awarded £1.7 million to each team. From then on, each team that went no further than the last 16 got £9.4 million, the quarter-finals £10.7 million and the semi-finals £12.9 million. The runner-up gets £15.9 million and the winner £21.5 million. Which music act will perform before the final? Rock band Linkin Park, famed for songs 'In The End' and 'Numb'.
