You're basically asking "why do Chinese restaurants in America serve food that Americans are more likely to buy?"

It’s also the same in Asian countries. You can get Japanese-style Italian food in Japan and Taiwan more easily than authentic Italian. And Japan has Japanese-style Chinese.
Incidentally, there used to be an American-style Chinese restaurant in Shanghai called Fortune Cookie. It was pretty good.
在亚洲国家也是如此。在日本和台湾地区，你更容易找到日式意大利菜，而不是地道的意大利菜。日本甚至有日式中餐。
顺便说一句，在上海曾经有一家名为“幸运饼干”的美式中餐馆。味道相当不错。

I always assumed if I got stuck in a foreign land as an American I could at least make people hamburgers bc they seem pretty universal. Except maybe India.
我总是假设，如果我作为一个美国人被困在异国他乡，我至少可以给人们做汉堡，因为汉堡似乎很普遍。除了印度。

There are many hamburger places in East Asia, some owned by Americans.
However, they do not have Cincinnati chili and it’s pretty hard to find great bagels. Real American pit barbecue (eg Carolina or KC) is on the rise but it’s still not that widespread. I personally also feel that ice cream could be better (like old-timey creamy ice cream, not creative flavors or gelato). Chicago-style pizza is underdeveloped. Just some ideas for your venture.
东亚有很多汉堡店，其中一些是美国人开的。
然而，他们没有辛辛那提辣肉酱，很难找到优质的贝果。真正的美式坑烤（例如卡罗来纳或堪萨斯城）正在兴起，但仍不是很普遍。我个人还觉得冰淇淋可以做得更好（像老式奶油冰淇淋，而不是创意口味或意式冰淇淋）。芝加哥式披萨不发达。只是为您的创业提供一些想法。

Most places have some version of "slow cooking meat outdoors" so I could see how American style barbecue could gain traction in a lot of places.
The international success of KFC is genius because chickens are a pretty universal constant wherever you find humans. Chicken is acceptable under virtually all cultural dietary restrictions and they're very cheap to raise pretty much everywhere. They're also very useful for controlling insect populations.
大多数地方都有某种形式的“户外慢炖肉”，所以我可以看到美式烧烤在很多地方是如何获得吸引力的。
肯德基在国际上的成功是天才之举，因为无论在哪里，鸡都是一种普遍不变的食物。几乎所有的文化饮食限制都能接受鸡肉，而且鸡肉的饲养成本非常低廉，几乎在任何地方都能买到。它们对控制昆虫数量也非常有用。

Oh that's very interesting! Do people eat much fried chicken American style? lol I'm the rural US and we don't have many asian food options really but people love it. It's pretty standard old school Chinese buffets or sushi but with options. But Vietnamese style Pho has become more popular and some Japanese Ramen restaurants. Being from the south we mostly eat pork or beef here. So a lot of BBQ!

I’ve been told that Korean fried chicken developed as a dish because of the large number of Black American soldiers that were stationed there. It’s a fusion of culture and cuisine. I don’t have any sources to corroborate this, but it seems plausible.
有人告诉我，韩式炸鸡之所以成为一道菜，是因为驻扎在那里的许多非裔美国士兵。这是文化和烹饪的融合。我没有任何来源证实这一点，但这似乎是可信的。

Of course fried chicken, of a different style, is also popular in Korea and you can easily find Korean fried chicken in Japan and Taiwan too. If you haven’t had Korean Fried Chicken, you can find a place in the US.

They also have KFCs, Burger King, and McDs. But the menus are different, like Burger King sells hot dogs and the fries at these places aren’t the same as they are here.

Also, I went to a Red Lobster over there once and was heartbroken that they didn’t have cheddar bay biscuits.

Pizza was pretty standard and decent quality. I don’t remember much of what pizza tasted as my memory has been hazed by the fact that locals would be eating pizza with chopsticks.
All food in Japan was great quality yet affordable - Japanese don’t half ass at things, and take pride in what they do.

I went to Tianjin, China for a couple weeks and there was an American style Chinese restaurant right near where we were staying. It was waaayyy off the beaten path for tourists, so pretty surprising they had that.
The biggest surprise when going to China was that green beans were more ubiquitous than even rice. The only meal where we weren't served green beans was at a hotpot place.
我去中国天津住了几个星期，在我们住的地方附近有一家美式中餐馆。这是一个远离游客常去的地方，所以他们有这样的餐馆还挺让人惊讶的。去中国最大的惊喜是，绿豆甚至比大米还普遍。我们唯一一次没有吃绿豆的是在一家火锅店。
I went to Tianjin, China for a couple weeks and there was an American style Chinese restaurant right near where we were staying. It was waaayyy off the beaten path for tourists, so pretty surprising they had that.

I’m not sure why you had green beans more than rice. Were you ordering for yourself or was a guide ordering for you? It’s definitely true that rice is more prent in the south than the north but I’d still say that far more meals in the north would include rice than green beans.
我不知道为什么你吃绿豆多过米饭。你是自己点的还是导游帮你点的?米饭在南方确实比北方更普遍，但我还是要说，在北方，米饭比绿豆要多得多。

Even in India, you will find fusion Indo-Chinese food, nothing like what I've seen in the USA at American-Chinese restaurants or at traditional Chinese restaurants (Dim Sum and Szechuan style are popular where I live).
Though Gobi Manchurian (batter fried cauliflower with a Chinese inspired sauce) is so good
即使在印度，你也可以找到中印融合的美食，与我在美国看到的美国中餐馆或传统中餐馆（我居住的地方流行点心和四川风味）完全不同。尽管炸花菜（一种用中国调料制成的油炸花椰菜）很好吃。

I used to go to an Indian style pizza place in California. The owners' parents had owned a pizza place in India that catered to the local populace and was very popular. When they came to the US, they found a large Indian population and opened a pizza place that used the same recipes their parents used in India. The toppings looked odd to the locals but were welcomed by the Indian immigrants who had come to work in tech. It was all really good stuff.
我曾经去过加利福尼亚州的一家印度风格比萨店。店主的父母曾在印度经营一家供应当地人的比萨店，非常受欢迎。当他们来到美国时，发现这里有很多印度移民，于是开了一家比萨店，使用了他们父母在印度使用的同样配方。对于当地人来说，配料看起来很奇怪，但受到了来美国从事技术工作的印度移民的欢迎。那里的东西都非常美味。

Although Fortune Cookie did end up closing because for some reason people preferred Chinese style Chinese food in China.
尽管幸运饼干最终关闭了，因为出于某种原因，中国人更喜欢中国风味的中餐。

The owners left China after about 5 years running the restaurant. One of them preferred to raise his family in the US.
They didn’t really try to compete with local Chinese food. Their cuisine was always a novelty. It was relatively popular with both expats and locals. I’m not sure how it would have done long term but it wasn’t opened out of ignorance as you are suggesting.
老板在经营这家餐厅5年后离开了中国。其中一人更愿意在美国抚养他的家庭。
他们并没有真正试图与当地的中国菜竞争。他们的烹饪总是很新奇。它在外国人和当地人中都相对受欢迎。我不确定它会如何长期运作，但它不是像你所说的那样出于无知而打开的。

Adapting to local flavors isn't just a strategy; it's the key to the wok kingdom. Chinese restaurants in America know the art of tasty compromise.
适应当地口味不仅仅是一种策略；这是走向炒菜王国的关键。美国的中餐馆懂得美味妥协的艺术。

You could also look at the question as “why are Chinese American restaurants specifically managed by Chinese families and not people of other ethnic backgrounds, since the food isn’t really Chinese”. And there’s a more interesting answer having to do with an organization that helps Chinese families immigrate to the US and places them in these restaurants or locations without these restaurants, which is why pretty much every small town in the US has a standard Chinese restaurant. There’s a documentary about it called Finding General Tso.
你也可以将这个问题看作是“为什么美国中国餐馆特别是由华人家庭经营，而不是其他种族背景的人，因为这些食物并不是真正的中国风味”，这里有一个更有趣的答案与一家帮助中国家庭移民到美国并将他们安置在这些餐馆或位置的组织有关，这就是为什么美国几乎每个小城镇都有一个标准的中国餐馆。有一个名为《寻访左宗棠》的纪录片探讨了这个话题。

And sometimes they are people of other ethnic backgrounds, too! In my hometown there used to be a "China Buffet" run by a Vietnamese family. It wasn't their own cultural food or authentic Chinese, but that's where the money was.
有时也会有其他种族背景的人！在我老家曾经有一家由越南家庭经营的“中餐自助餐厅”。那里供应的不是他们自己的文化食物或正宗的中餐，但那才是赚钱的地方。

fun fact, pad thai was introduced in thailand by Chinese migrants. 'pad' translates to fried (specific to the type of pan used), and 'thai' implies it's 'thai-style.' So it's basically 'thai-styled fried.'
there's another claim that it's from thai people themselves, in a push to use rice noodles, but every thai person i've talked to insists it's from a Chinese origin.
有趣的事实是，泰国的炒河粉是由中国移民引入的。 "Pad" 翻译成英语是煎炸（特指使用的平底锅类型），而 "Thai" 意味着它是“泰式风味”的意思。因此，它基本上是“泰式煎炸食品”。
还有另一种说法认为，这是泰国人自己推崇使用大米粉的产物，但我与所有泰国人交谈时，他们都坚称这是源于中国。

as someone whose relatives and parents are in the industry, Chinese american allows us to keep the actual Chinese dishes high quality cuz the Chinese american stuff is shovelware and very easy to crank out
作为一个亲戚和父母都在这个行业的人，中式美国菜让我们能够保持真正的中式菜肴的高质量，因为中式美国菜的东西都是垃圾，非常容易做出来。

This is why you can find authentic Chinese food in large American cities - there is a big enough population of Chinese immigrants to serve
这就是为什么你可以在美国大城市找到地道的中餐 - 那里有足够多的中国移民人口需要服务。

Yeah Henry Ford's quote has been shortened but it was originally something like "the customer is always right about what the customer wants." They make what sells, this is business. If customers want MSG and saturated fat served over rice, that's what you sell.
是的，亨利·福特的那句话被简化了，但最初大概是“顾客总是对自己想要的东西有所了解。” 他们制造畅销的产品，这就是商业。如果顾客想要在米饭上加味精和饱和脂肪，那就是你要卖的东西。

This is basically also the strategy of Italian food just over pasta and the MSG is naturally occurring in ingredients.
这基本上也是意大利食物的策略，只不过是用在面食上，而味精则是食材中天然存在的。
