You have to know that the right is a far spectrum.

As a libertarian conservative I support abortion, but not late-term abortion or post birth.

That and religion in general is mainly an evangelical right thing and is less popular within the party nowadays.

I do know that. So, if you are saying there are chinese-americans of right views, who are appalled by what happened to the GOP and are opposed to the surge of religiously motivated (in my view bad) policy, I welcome it.

I'm not seeing this reflected in things said in the non-US media (I'm in australia) and my experience here, is that incursions into specific language and culture groups to garner votes tends to be crude, and in the margins: it works best when it appeals to pretty simple messages, and they tend not to be centerist ones.

I disagree that there's a "surge of religiously motivated" as an insider within the party I see the religious social aspect is less prominent than the economic, foreign policy, and security issues.
