That’s a good example of fusion though, taking Chinese inspiration and merging with American tastes.
Back to the OP, Asia has so many varieties of food that you do the region a disservice by just lumping it all as “Chinese Food”. However, the food in that region is comparable enough with ingredients that it lends itself perfectly to crossover. Most of the “Chinese” restaurants near my house now prefer to be called “Asian”, not because it’s more politically correct but because they offer a range of choices from the area including Japanese and Thai. They also have a number of newer items on the menu that are combinations of different styles.
