The laws were repealed in 1943, during World War II, as the U.S. and China were allies fighting the Japanese. President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] believed that making China an "equal" ally in every way would be important to preserve postwar stability. Public opinion in favor of the Chinese was mobilized by the nationwide speaking tours of Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the American educated wife of the Chinese leader, and by publicity in ''Time'' and ''Life'' magazines (owned by [[Henry R. Luce]], who was born in China to missionary parents) and from best-selling novelist [[Pearl Buck]].<ref>Xiaohua Ma, "The Sino-American Alliance During World War II and the Lifting of the Chinese Exclusion Acts," ''American Studies International'' 2000 38(2): 39-61.

Between 1944 and 1960, 42,935 Chinese immigrants entered the U.S, chiefly wives of American servicemen (16,985) or political refugees (10,376). Since refugees with relatives in America were given preference, postwar immigration significantly contributed to family reunification. The most stringent exclusions ended with new immigration laws in 1952 and 1965, that favored applicants with high skills and opened a route to full citizenship. Most of the Chinese Americans today are post-1945 arrivals and their children and grandchildren.
