In the left lower corner of front page (page A1), USA Today, May 17 is a graphic:

"Persons naturalized in the USA in 2011, by country of birth; Top five:"

Mexico 94,783
India 45,985
Philippines 42,520
China 32,864
Columbia 22,693

Note:
(a) The map for China does not include Taiwan (difference in colors). The map is too crude to tell if the figure for China includes that of Hong Kong.
(b) Yearbook of Immigration Statistics: 2011. US Department of Homeland Security

"Table 21 Persons Naturalized by Region and Country of Birth: Fiscal Years 2002 to 2011"
includes for fiscal year 2011 the following:

China, People's Republic  32,864
Hong Kong 2184
India 45,985
Mexico 94,783
Taiwan 5,065
(c) Comparison of the two (USA Today and DHS) illustrates
(i) that the year is fiscal year, not calendar year implied by USA Today; and
(ii) that "China" (as used in USA Today for the purpose of the graphic) does not include Hong Kong or Taiwan, each of which has its own immigration quota under US law.
