  1. Hakka is technically not a race per se. Just a term to describe the migrants of a set period of time. But.. as long as people document and trace their lineage.... Just remember who your families are and your extended families etc.

  2.  @laurencechan470  : You need to know that... the Qing dynasty... they were the mongolians and manchurians. The original Hans... were from the Song dynasties... and a few genuine Hans chinese are left inside China. Many individuals today, are actually mixed race. Mixed with mongolians (Qing dynasty)... and also koreans (Jin dynsty).... The last few ruling genuine Hans chinese were (Ming dynasty) And (Song dynasty). This is why.. when "Taiping Rebellion".... (太平 - 天國 - 運動 = Pacific - Heavenly Kingdom - Exercise ) took place... it was a clash of the Pacific (meaning, those from outside of China, the foreigners).... or the fight about the foreign trades... basically. I now get why... some people, like, the genuine cantonese and Ming's people.. literally would have second wives.. or mistresses in hope to continue to expand their own legacies. Cos frankly... why shouldn't they live as genuine chinese, and on their own turfs any more ?? And today, in Malaya... and SE Asian... so many people are now.. they intermarried with those local tribes. And aren't even chinese any more. Even if they have Hans Chinese names. Shouldn't they follow the rights... to actually erase those chinese written names.. and assimilate into those societies already? Cos the war is already lost. No more Chinese.

  3. What he said in the story is wrong. Cos it was punti that had land owner rights. Why do I say that ? Cos each village represents an actual family unit. Especially with the head of the family be house owner etc. That is why you can find a cluster of villages. They are all relatives. Why do I say that they own the land and the farms ? Cos those lands are gifted to them by their fathers before. And therefore would farm them to feed their own family first before actually pay or give to the family communal pool. For taxes etc. And why do they own that land ? Their ancestors would've been one of the imperial academics or other that would be given lands to settle on. And there are categories of actual civil servants etc. Therefore the whole system works. You can't just walzt into another turf or patch of land that isn't yours.... the thing which kicked off the situation was that the outsiders tried to assume the land via Qing when in reality Qing has no jurisdiction rights in that area. This is why the locals took up arms to protect their lives and killed off as many outsiders as they could. In the end around 1 million punti died or something. And then they built walls in their villages as well.... today in modern society... some people call these individuals triads. Some people also think that divide and conquer works. But you are also killing the "last of the emperor"... so why even call yourself Chinese ? Western media thinks the Qing is the single overall ruling imperial families. Inside China, they know that there are more than a single ruling imperial family and have consecutively different ones running in parallel.... If this was not so. Then you would not have separate land contracts between westerners and Cantonese in HK. Not separate schools etc etc....

  4. Not everyone in China is "chinese" ! And obviously, you could see that they are of different "tribes" or "race" as we call it in cantonese even. When you use this kind of English definition, you lose... Cos many citizens within China itself, does not classify it the way you guys do !!! They see themselves as another tribe/race.

  5.  @sixty4776  : It's very simple... Even if these elites were poor before but made rich. They should do what others did for them etc. i.e. pass that wealth onwards. Even in the UK, it's like that too. So if they don't pass it on then what would happen ?...

  6. ​​​ @gene.digger : No.. because they represent from different imperial dynasties of people. Aka... from different royal family trees.... and they aren't cousins cos it's from different race I think too. Check out their surnames and DNA etc. Fyi... Japan has a sophisticated system that actually keep things separate and legitimate as well. If you understand something then you understand something. Day chu = Landlord.... lol... I used to think, why do I need to pray in front of an actual alter with the day chu. I realised that is because that location is where my ancestors put down roots. Western philosophy calls it a religion or calls it a philosophy. How about seeing it as an actual method for documentation and to keep unity of the family clan ? Then the top tier actually has the real ancestors etc.

  8.  @jamesnordhoff5386 : Hakka people are not Bai Yue DNA descendents people. They come from the North ? And why this is "war" is because they belong to another Imperial Dynasty or family. Whereas the South, had an actual established structure and Imperial Clan tree. So this is why, this video reflects that as well ??? Google on Zhou Tou.... Some people accept that, cos if they studied science, then they would believe it. Some people who doesn't and assume that, the "current 2023 data that they are looking at, reflects history".... (Some people are also mixed race now in HK, because of the British. They allowed some Jews traders and Armenians to settle into HK, and hence, their European DNA existed and spread across the entire areas. The gentleman who posted his family tree online stated this as much. And today, why so many Indonesians speakers English so well as well ? I bet that, they are those disporas who were educated under an English speaking system, but doesn't know or accept if they are part of the Bai Yue or not.) .... Those people tend to call themselves "Asians" and they refer "Anything else, is classed as Chinese".... whereas I know the differences between hakka, Fuijianese, and Cantonese etc etc etc.... Cos I was raised under such environments both in HK during my mother's generation, as well as now in the UK... People who migrated into the UK in those earlier years would speak either Hakka or Cantonese. With 20 years of experiences, why wouldn't one know this ????....

  9. We should bring back the CRT actually... And sustain that as an actual small r& d site etc. Just like Japan did etc...

  10. This is not true. Actually. But this kind of history are news in the eyes of the West. Each country teaches their own history of the country. To teach these relationships.. you need to learn it as a separate subject as history.

  11. ​ @sho9214 : So you are a hakka-peranakan ? Did you know that some peranakan married with Cantonese migrants ? Lol... peranakan means mixed race.

  12. ​ @sho9214 : Are you sure ? This is malaysia we're talking about, right ?

  13.  @sho9214 : Did you know that in Malaysia, they also call the locals who intermarried with a chinese as "peranakan" as well ? I only learnt about this recently... from a FB group. It's funny, they do dress like the old wedding gears too.... Like, all the old frilly bits that has the metals... Something said it was aluminium. There's an actual push to "preserve the heritages" now in HK... but people don't know what to do. lol.... Or rather, they don't want to stand out, and then be labelled or to even be found and then killed off. So some weird hakka professor apparently is now preserving "hans weitou" knowledge... Cos why... under the so called UN treaty... they lumped the "hakka, weitou, hoklo, tanka" all into the same group. So now, he just does mostly hakka... more like a hakka TV. Some people say that they intermarried. I am not too sure about that one. Some people literally try to rebuild their villages back again by moving closer together. i.e. Hakka with hakka. weitou with weitou.... etc etc. So much for those stupid preservation deals. It's why people are now also so poor too.

  14.  @sho9214 : The same is also in the UK as well. If you go to Scotland, they can speak Gaelic. And also English. If you went to Wales, they can speak Welsh. As well as English. Same in Europe as well... So if you are a decendent of say German heritage... You could speak your own mother tongue, German, as well as the expected language of the country. So many Dutch people can speak Dutch + German, or Dutch + English. Cos their parents either married a German, or an English. It reflects their identity and who they are ?

  15. Interesting, I did not know that.... Really did not know that.

  16. The reason why HK failed, it is because the service sector needed IPs and it needed strong legal teams to maintain those advantages.. They should've reconciled this a long time ago. They should've patented those chinese fonts as well. So many things that they should've done, but failed to do so....

  18.  @斯卡蕾特芙兰朵露-x1i  : Any links of the full Hans character in writing to associate this aspect ? I.e. Can what you wrote in English be written in Chinese ? Anyway.. are you saying that Fujianese hold the O genotype.. which effectively makes them Southern Chinese then. And truth be told that.. why is Hans... not seen as the original Chinese ? I like to see the DNA of the past emperors be defined....

  19.  @ANTSEMUT1  : Because they were taught of someone else family tree and lineage.. and not their own DNA and family tree ? There is a Cantonese phrase... "marry the chicken, remove the chicken"....

  20.  @kimloonyong6599  : There was some Jurchen that turned Jin as well.... Or Jin tried to create a new dynasty and Jurchen became this. (There are Koreans in Chinese dynasties.... as in, mixed-race already... or rather, they looked Koreans.. if not the immediate Imperial Family, they they were part of their population or communities under that dynastic family.) Manchus were actually a mixed-race dynasty.... if you don't know the Northern conflicts...

  21.  @jamesnordhoff5386  : No... "Punti" is the Hakka term for the local "Bai Yue" people.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhao_Tuo Read about Zhou Tou. (趙佗) "Bai Yue" (百越) (He was a Qin Dynasty general. Exited around 240 BC. Some or many of the "punti" were the residual Bai Yue people. In case you don't get this.) These people are not dead... in case you're wondering, even though it's since Qin dynasty.... Not Qing's... Qin's.....

  24.  @sunsetlights100  : UK did have manufacturing, that was the point.. We did have mining, and that lead to engineering.. the next phase is to make electronic components. So many cities or places, did not have mining either. They imported things in to build their buildings. Whereas for the UK, we built our own...

  25.  @gamevalor  : When many people call themselves "Hans" or the "Yellow river people", they mean that they are the literal and actual descendent of a specific set of people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpC1P6me5Ko&t=302s Just like, in the UK, people call themselves English, or Scottish.. it is because they know EXACTLY... every single generation, if not, then they know the rough estimate.. and things like that. The only reason why so many people do not know their own heritages IS because of the past wars.. But most people DO know it, and in fact, this century, they try to reconnect back as well. Why do you think that there are so many ancestries databases, and even a lot of post war period... so many countries accept and do not accept certain people back to their own family trees? (I think you are confused about the genuine "democracies".. like in the UK, whereby.. some of the ethnic minorities that look like they are indeed ethnic minorities.. but in fact, their literal family tree can be traced back to a King or a Queen of the UK.. or Europe.... ) What science says is not the same as what a group or a country decides. That North and South Hans thing was indeed quite regular... That of course is possibly due to the way that the region was governed then. i.e. WHOSE land belongs to WHO. That is why, since all lands were designated.. why should it be ruined by random people coming and going ?? Communism ruined things... basically... If your ancestor as gifted the land and you have farmed those lands and built on it, then it is your family ancestral land. It does not change. The government is only an administrative party. It still belongs to you. So sometimes when I see people say random things. They need to trace back the history... cos it does not stand. I got it. I found out why there was a "Northern Hans" DNA and a "Southern Hans" DNA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_and_Southern_dynasties Around 400-600 AD, the entire region was split up.

  26. You're kind of misunderstanding it based on this individual perception. Prc was newly formed. China does not equate to prc. Prc has more parts that is now generalised and classified as china. But some of these people who support the communists don't know that. But why the fights happen here in Macau and in HK is because these people are indeed the last or few remaining Chinese. That is why they fight for their rights. It's like Catalonia... In Spain.. or the Vatican... In Rome... But hearing in mind that nobody said that the two cannot coexists. It can. It has. They won't fight if they aren't some kind of imperial elite. Think about it. Even in Vietnam, there was a dynasty too... Mr Lai... Now it is part of that. So... What is happening with art. 23 is not good. It makes the whole UN notion a mediocrity. Cos you are killing off the remaining empire of another state. Imagine if somebody targetted the royal families.... Even everybody knows that Madonna is part of the royal family tree to the old Queen.... Similar to Mr Lai.

  27. It's not really gambling.. cos in Chinese history, learning to play strategy games is a form of moral civilian etiquette. So a lot of Chinese do play that for enjoyment. The issue is how western eyes see the Chinese situation and then the Chinese see their reputation dampen deliberately... Hence it would kick off. So because Macau was a shipping port along with HK as well. They tried to collect the customs fee. This kind of fee in the UK at least, ends up being public money. I.e. for the community or for the people. So in a way, what you lose in the game, you will see it back in your child's schooling. Since there wasn't an actual government structure at that time in Macau. So.... And Mr Ho being half Dutch and from Europe.... His forefathers have seen a lot of warfare before. Hence this son.. tried his best to avoid bloodshed. At the height of the Dutch Empire.... Their population was in the millions. Maybe around 100 millions ?... Of course due to war, they lost a lot of people. Many Dutch are also Eurasians too now. Many Canadians or Americans are half Dutch. Many so called Chinese or Asians have Dutch lineages.... But they don't know this in their history. If the video maker says that this was the history of Macau.. then does that mean he himself is the son or the descent of such harsh conditions ?... This is why the Dutch have a very very liberal mindset... In order to survive, they would rather be liberal.... Many people don't support them these days though. Despite the video tells you about how these people rose into prominence...

  28. There should not have been a Tencents at all. You can't have both Tencents, as well as Alibaba listed. Either/or. What should've happened then, is really to have a Tecents IN HK. Which means that creative industry, like animation, platform computing, distributed computing. Which links in with finances. And there are links that links with HK to other countries and cities as well. So why is this overlooked? When Li Ka Shing was peeved off.. he was not wrong. Cos his son created that so called smart alec telecom company, that kind of ruined things. Cos it disrupted the politics. And now, where is it ? Ruined that dynamic, and disturbed their competitors... and this is why they were basically squashed asap. No thanks to his move. How can a father and a son, both open companies to compete with one another? Alibaba created TWO data centers in the United States.. and they cannot even deal with their accountings. Why ? Why not file ??? Why doesn't such data centres exist in HK ? Why play landlord games ??? And now Shenzen is talking about a "metaverse" with Singapore... so now Singapore is going to privot and steal that limelight once again for HK ? If I was HK SAR government, I would invite the CEOs, or the representatives of HSBCs... for a cup of tea, and for a questioning in their Legco sessions !!! And basically broadcasts this everywhere ! That is what they SHOULD'VE gone.... And make sure that ALL your local television companies have the rights to broadcast that as well. Cos that is so not on ? I don't even know why they hired an actual Brazilian CEO for their exchange ??? I'm sorry..... I mean. Don't these people watch the news ? Or are they too confused to know which way to turn or to run ????.... I thought that HK is going to go into healthcare.... or are they deliberately going to miss that boat too ?

  29. It's quite bad when there are actual bad crop. This is why those small suppliers might work out when there are like shall cooperatives to cushion the actual fluctuations....

  30. It's because they never "monetised" to this level before.... they don't follow a set procedures etc etc. So basically, what you experienced, is basically a "bank run". i.e. The bank ran out of cash. It's gone above its quotas. This is why they ran to another bank to withdraw etc.

  32.  @Asianometry  : Where did you get your dirty data from ? Cos this is potentially biased data anyway ?? The country has a 1.4 billion existence.... and you have not even backdated them to the actual ancestors and the Chinese mummies either. That is why it is controversial. You are using a small sample data size to generalise on the rest of the country.

  33. Have you noticed that people don't get such news any more ? Prc has now done the utterly wrong thing of expanding their tech sector to bury two sectors into one. The worst is yet to come..... Even if you are a skilled engineer. You cannot find the company to work for to hold their stability.... This is insane. I thought that it was odd too with these various vertical integration which is common in the UK or Europe. But this is another level altogether. Cos he tries to be like Li Ka Shing. A lot of SE Asian holding companies are like that. You would think that a typical manager has an actual fiscal budget control ? They didn't even have that. It is all about sell and buy. I get these people don't even have the basic understanding of a set of books and account. I mean... Most people know how to run a household budget. What comes in. What goes out. Simple maths. What are they doing ??... And in such a large scale too.

  35.  @Jack-mm3bl  : "Punti" is not a race as such, but this is based on writing or diaries or observation from somebody who wrote about this. And this is why it is now translated as directly because... "punti" means that there were people already there. As opposed to.. which the British did in terms of their writing to say that nobody was in HK at that time ? So this article dispel that myths. And in fact, there might have been people, even if the figures were not beyond 100k people. But there were people there. Just not in the millions. So when people were "dictated to move to the coasts"... by the so called Qing dynasities... this is whereby a war broke out.. the assumption that nobody was there.. and then the people came back to defend their homes and everything.... maybe somebody sent the signal.. but in the end, this is why they broke out in war. Around 1 million people died. So who were these people that died ? Why did they come back then ??? Or did those families or established registered residents, called "their relatives" from nearby to fight back this invasion ??? What do you think really happened ???? Did they went to their local provincial governor and called for back up ? What do you think happened and why the 1 million in deaths ???? When you see a sitation, and "facts", and the timelines and everything, isn't it weird that... sometimes, certain information is missing from the written work ?????

  38. ​ @Asianometry : Can you do a research too on a Nokia phone ?... The ones by hmd oy. Since these kind of android phones are using video compressions as well. I want to know whether it has an actual satellite piece as well without the actual network or the Telco piece. I bet it goes direct to their global satellites. Cos why would a phone still work without a SIM card ?

  39. And this explains why some arsey people tried to actually intermarry other races and then would go as far as to take their hands as well.... rather than to have inherited them from their fathers etc. This is what is wrong with the world today. Even when the British ruled HK... it never was this messy. People were kept apart. And most played their parts.... today, the renters scam the landlords.... This fight is carried on into the UK... as well....

  40. It's not a Ponzi scheme. It's running like an imperial model. Is how I describe it. But.. it isn't structured like South Korean or Japanese companies. It should be so.

  42.  @azulahuang3154  : You need to double check that as well... cos the "punti" surnames are quite specific.... if my understanding is correct. And some people assume that, certain individuals are "hakka", but they are not ? Actually. Why so many people assume others were "hakka" could have been because ROC.. were actually running the UN then. At that time. So....

  47.  @zhangjeff238  : Why don't you read the comments created by my ID alone ? In the English, we say , "people from China is called Chinese"... but if you can read, and write in Chibesr, then you will know that there are different family trees, some people consider a family tree to be a single "clan", or "race"... in China. Disturbing and creating a new definition which forces the people to not accept themselves is like country suicide.... A membership to a country, by "nationality" definition does not mean that it is their own race. (FYI, I am also an overseas' British Chinese.... In case, you assume that I cannot read or write Chinese. )
    1
  48. This isn't entirely true, cos it was the actual overseas' slavery and trade, which brought in a lot of money, which stopped them from killing each other as well. So.... By right, people could actually have their own currencies and whatnots. Something is just actually something to swap... so.... you can set your own ratios, and ways to live life.

  49. Whose fault is that then ? When I see every other citizen, running around playing "journalists" without education on those journalism laws, and without license to broadcasts as well.... What the heck were they thinking of ???? They literally ruined that reputation ! "Educated" ? By whose standard?? Many years ago.. when Microsoft first entered China, I think even HK at that time, you could type in Cantonese. Or their softwares allowed many various education and tools and things like that. How come those "softwares" were not bought and consolidated as a piece ? They SHOULD have had their IPs of those softwares bought out. And then repackaged and recoded.. so that it can be installed into different OSes.... THAT should have happened!!! These days... so many companies inside China just " Copies".... !!!! HOW THE HECK CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF IF YOU KEPT GETTING COPIED !!!!

  50.  @Al-ng2wn  : Japan(Keiretsu), South Korea (Cheabol) <---- THIS... even these countries are oligarchs.. They pooled together their families resources, and uplift an entire generation. WHO lives in HK ? It is not the indigenous people that lives in HK. Why do I say that ? Cos I live in the UK !!! The only person who SHOULD've been is like that Tang guy.. who is now a police officer ! Why is Li Ka Shing, who is not even an actual CANTON's provincial governor, should RUN HK ?!..... The people in Japan are the royal families, and some of those people are literally the descendents of the Qin Dynasty... So again, why is Raffles' that woman... that family dominating HK ? Isn't the only Western family that should dominate HK to be Mr Robert Ho Tung ? How come HK has to deal with the Portugese issues as well then ? And how come HK also now have to have so many "SE Asians" from Malaysia, or from Indonesia, and Philippines.. and all of these regions.. to pool together to make HK ? I don't understand this. How is that possible ? Those countries already locked down their borders. and reconciled those family trees already. Do we really need to check all families first and again ? Japan protected themselves from foreign invasion a long time ago... that is why those companies were formed. And they threatened the world with nuclear first, until the US bombed them. Does HK need to be bombed in order to reform ? Maybe it should ! Surely it should. And I am saying all of this as a weitou person as well. The fact that people cannot even speak Cantonese is one. Shouldn't those who cannot speak Cantonese NOT be employed in HK ?!!! And yet we have SO many English speaking concubine maids !!!! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE !!!!
