This is ChatGPT’s answer: There isn't a direct Chinese emigrant equivalent to Ayn Rand in terms of influence and the explicit promotion of free-market ideas. Ayn Rand's Objectivism and her emphasis on individualism and laissez-faire capitalism are uniquely rooted in her experiences and the Western intellectual tradition.
However, if we're looking for Chinese emigrants who have advocated for free-market policies or shown a libertarian bent, you might consider someone like Weiying Zhang. Zhang is a Chinese economist who has been an advocate for market reforms in China and has written extensively on economics, though his reach and influence are not as broad as Ayn Rand's.
Another name that comes to mind is Gordon G. Chang, an American author of Chinese descent, known for his critical views on the Chinese Communist Party and its policies, although he is not specifically a free-market ideologue like Rand.
It's challenging to find a perfect match, mainly because the intellectual and political landscapes are quite different, and the cultural contexts from which these ideas emerge are not directly comparable.

This is a good idea! For example, Luke does a AMA on Twitter every two weeks which he publishes on YouTube.
Before we start LARPing too much about how Nostr should take over the world and people should ditch other platforms, let’s acknowledge the fact that nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0, one of the best MMA fighters of all time, is on Nostr. Most of you don’t follow her yet, even though she has been here for a while now.
I personally want to tell Cris, “thank you.” We appreciate her presence. There is no better proof of work than full-contact MMA.
In order for Nostr to grow, it can’t just be bitcoiner techies. It has to be others too. I personally really like the MMA people but more broadly, we should reach out to non-techie people and actually appreciate it when they decide to care about decentralized money and communication.
Thank you Cris, for caring about decentralization and proof of work.
Lyn, bring Luke Gromen here! 😀
Is it growing? Do you have a link to user/usage numbers? I’d switch in a heartbeat if all/most of the people I follow move here.
What’s your take on the theory that Len Sassaman could have been Satoshi? https://evanhatch.medium.com/len-sassaman-and-satoshi-e483c85c2b10
For what it is worth, I read multiple articles about people speculating who Satoshi might be. This is the only one I find credible.
I see. No problem, I’ll follow you on Nostr! 😀
Is Luke Gromen on Nostr?
Out of curiosity: why did you leave Twitter?
