True, but I would argue that American Chinese food is a distinct cuisine in its own right, just as Anglo-Indian is.
If the argument is that the British Empire didn’t incorporate seasonings and spices into its own traditional cuisine, then I’d argue that none of the European powers did. French cuisine is still undeniably French and spice-less, despite their colonialist history in Africa and the Caribbean.
