  1.  @obsidianstatue  : The word "Fake" is used, when that something is not true. Hanfu would not be fake, if the person wearing it, IS from the Hans dynasty and race, and has never inter-married... or whatever. When the family-tree is broken... It then becomes fake. Fake by lineage, and fake by heritage. But the thing is.. in China, they refuse to define the definition of the "nationality".... instead of "race".. They call those who inter-married as "tribes"... or a "clan".... Do you see this continuous Manchu naming convention ? There is nothing very Hans and Chinese about this at all....

  2.  @obsidianstatue  : If you trace all the migrants into Japan... I think you will find that, they do not take in many immigrants... In order to preserve their race, and their heritage, and their family tree as well.... But this never happened for so called "China", even though so many people want this to be so.

  3.  @obsidianstatue  : There is the Manchuria, and then there are the Mongolians. They definitely are not the same as Hans.

  4.  @obsidianstatue  : As you say, those who are alive today, must belong to someone or some family tree. So those who are of the "56 tribes" must belong to some old tribal army, or units... from some nomadic families.... So how is this actually a "tribe " ? So you are basically saying, the state, supports these 56 old nomadic army units... just because they were part of the old kingdom... even though their rulers have fallen ??? So, in effect, those who now sits in central Beijing, are actually helping their great great great grand cousin, once or twice removed... using whose money ?? Does the money not belong to the people ?!!?!?!? Why do these tribes get subsidies ?!!?!?! Why are foreign companies, make money in China, and only the government take a big percentage of this.... so who do they help ?? And why are CCP members, how do they earn ? Why do they have lots of money ? What is their salaries ? Why do they earn as such ?? You tell me. In all other countries, all politicians... they pay to even enter the race to be nominated to be a governor. How and why does CCP members get the money ??? I repeat, in other countries, the citizen, PAY to become a politician... and let the people choose them first... Only in China, do CCP get a lot of state benefits... and money !!!

  5.  @obsidianstatue  : Lol. I was born in the UK. How can my English be poor ? Sorry to see that you do not like what I write.... So be it. The truth hurts sometimes. Facts are facts. But if mis-translation happened, then yes, there is room for mistake and misunderstanding, but facts remain as facts. It cannot be changed, or destroy, cos it is a piece of history.

  6. So where does that insurance comes from then ? I don't understand.... It comes back from the public funds ?

  7. ​ @canto_v12 : By political freedom, they don't mean an abstract idea. They mean an actual and literal impact on their actions... on final decisions on what the government does. For example .. I want to see... the ex chief exec actually donate a portion of her pension to kick start and to fund new businesses say. I want her money to be used in campaigns, say... that raises funds.
    1
  8.  @canto_v12  : In the UK.. it is common for charity events to take place... and then people pledges to the situation, so that it raises the actual funding. So if the hospital need money, it is the PEOPLE... who raises and do things, like a charity marathon, in order to raise the funding for the hospital. It is NOT out of thin air. And it is NOT out of a fund ? The funds are for pensions. They are not for private family's money !!!!!! It is people's OWN money, that looks after THEIR ancestors !!!! Or their elders ! You cannot have ONE system.. and not the other kind ???? Where would this end ?

  9. Cos the thing is...HK "uses those English words"... but when it comes to the Cantonese, how come the interpretation of the concepts are entirely different ? Why ???....

  10. ​​ @zacharycohen9985 : Because of the internet and of social media and because of the strengthening of the UN participation and the strengthening of the CCP party ... they are making assumptions and overtaking others politically when the original ideas or promises are not and should not be this way. That is why now you see those so-called officials as having the rights ? Cos they deliberately locked the law to trap you. And this is the fault of some overseas diaspora in Singapore or from malaysia doing business inside and increased those people's powers and greed.btgeregore this is a firm of kowtow exercises. Despite the fact they are protected under the constitution. The constitution stated clearly that you are allowed to live in your community and protect your families. The interviewer also made a mistake because Hakka and Hokkien are similar and are part of the Main nam grouping. The BBC way that languages are studied and researched is not done in a similar way as the west or from some of the earlier teachers from nearby within canton province. That is why the education bureau from this angle has let the side down somewhat and are deviating.... there should be a kind of think tank collaboration. Education is nothing but merely to get the individual to find jobs. If there are state council jobs or a split of the state council to exist in HK and therefore the individuals need to speak mandarin then they ought to say so or to have explicit such schools and we know for certain and sure who would sit in those seats in all honesty then the rest should be allowed commerce or languages like Cantonese and English for the financial sectors and trades. Cos half the situation that the city is in is being manipulated here !!!!

  11. She was wrong to say that, "there was a translation of the literary work into Cantonese"... That is the wrong usage of English, and even understanding of the situation. Basically, they translated a written book, in olden texts, into a modern screenplay. (With added speeches and more modern words.) It is like "interpreting" Shakespeare as it was written at that time, into the modern movie "Shakespeare in Love" movie. Interpretation into a different format, is not direct translation. This is wrong usage of the word translation.

  12. Maybe the government doesn't teach it is because they themselves aren't even Chinese. Has it occurred to you that might be the case ? If this is so.. then why would they teach you Chinese ? What does it benefit them ? How does it benefit them ? The original Chinese scholars that still teaches Chinese are the old imperial dynasties... So yeh.. the country is not Chinese. Not really.

  13.  @stevenhenry5267  : Apparently, they have used the WTO angle.. to manipulate the individuals that lost their incomes and banks, and such likes from the past.. and way even before the PRC creation as well.... cos they see it as an extension of their own rule ?? So therefore... people are now being "socially assessed" for the past bankrupcies. So instead of liquidating, which is a formal process. Or to regift back.. which was based on word of honor... etc etc... So many individuals are not doing this correctly. So now, people are being "caught"... inbetween... and with the WTO loans and money, people are being caught out.. or that they just run off from their own companies, but without an understanding how to formally close them etc. It is weird what is happening here.. cos here in the UK, the bank itself would have all sorts of formal processes as well... to either not to loan you any money to begin with, or to actually.... do whatever... It is so odd what is happening.

  14.  @pjacobsen1000  : Er.. if you came to the UK... In Wales, people speaks Welsh. Even if you are a Cantonese, your kids would learn Welsh. Exactly the same in all schools and with all the other kids as well. If you were in Scotland, then Gaelic as well. This is a diplomacy play. So now that NSL is enacted.. should it be mandarin ? And yet, despite it being actually NSL... noticed, all the chiu chow.. the hokkien.. the Malaysian... the Singaporeans all inside HK.. refuses to accept the NSL laws as well. NOticed this ? They ran off. lol... Despit their insistent that, "mandarin and the love for the mainland"... If you went to Chiu Chow... or Fuijian.. ALL of their economies collapsed. ALL of it. They don't even pool together their money or get the financial flow going. So why is this then ? How come it is not working? And yet, it works in HK ? Why ? Ask yourself why this is ??? People know that they are their temporarily as well... and what is their money and what is not their money etc etc etc. People are HONEST from this aspect.

  15.  @valorzinski7423  : Why does Robert Kiyosaki owns 14000 properties? Is this a joke ?

  16.  @valorzinski7423 : To me, it is very clear. Whereas, most of us, uses our own money. Most of these children or kids, they use a "credit card"... whereas our money is our own hard earned salaries, already deducted from taxes ! This is the ultimate differences ! This is why.. when they borrow an actual loan.. and then transfer that loan abroad.. whose.. money does it lose? Why won't they lose money? I get the impression that, the whole idea is kind of lost inside China somehow. Very weird.

  17. This is a badly written article... and this is why HK is now a bloomin MESS !!!!! And they are NOT taught in the correct ways. And her understanding is also actually quite bad as well ?? And this is why, the other kind of "languages" are lost ? Like Fuijianese/Hokkien/Min Nam..... and then Yue/Weitou etc... Are a grouping as well.... They literally ARE different. So there isn't a "standard" chinese. It is a writting TOOL of writing !!!! You don't call the "Alphabet is a National Language"... do you ??!!! Who is doing this translation !?!?!?!!!! What is "The national written standard language" ??? WHO dared to MIS-TRANSLATED this ????!!!!!!!!! So yeh...."The Alphabet is now the National Written Language".....

  21.  @Spoopball  : The PRC did what the Russian did as well.. to Europe... pollution. When you pollute something, then everybody has to be the same and stay the same.. til somebody finds the solution to fix it.... No food resources = death usually.

  22.  @addminustraitor8514 : HOW can you be an actual "refugee" when you entered the city with an actual passport ?!!?!! You're NOT a refugeee!!!! You came from somewhere !!!! Some country. You're a citizen of an actual country !!!!

  23. It's called the Rguby Seven. They're different leagues... nice to see the Sevens are still being held here though... and a lot of the attendees aren't naturally chinese race.. They are of mixed-heritages. i.e. Cantonese/Chinese and caucasians.. nice to see the turn outs here as well.. Many Hong Kong citizens are of mixed heritages and descendents of Europeans anyway.. as well.. so.... Nice of the HK SAR government to let this happen though, on their soil.

  24. Even in Europe.. people also don't do that either.. They don't necessarily randomly marry others etc... Only if there is a common ground or reason or something.

  25.  @stevenz9521  : It is so odd that this man says that... "imagine" this is what it is like... Actually, does he know that, many elderlies are also left behind as well... and ignored.. either both by their own children.. or by the societies ? Cos they cannot contribute in any way shape or form.. or give others money.... so many poor people in HK too. And they are ignored every day as well. So I don't get his point. Like, he has a higher priorities above those others? And often, those NGOs doesn't even cover those elderlies.. and the local homelessness as well.. and I bet you that, he refuses to acknowledge the other kind of competition and aggression that is currently going on in HK as well. i.e. Power struggles and legitimacies. Why should the city not function as a city, and itself relies on charities as well ? Lots of people just really just... flip buildings for a living. Does he even know where he lives? A concrete jungle.

  26.  @rukia6090  : If you can get to 400 characters, you can live and do daily chores and socialise already. 4000 or 3000 is because as kid, adults try to give them everything and try to teach them everything in case when we past as adults then the heritages would be lost. So kids are expected to be doing this anyway. Some of it are also based on Chinese literatures which is not used everyday in a laymen way. So unless you want to become an elite Chinese politicians and references history all of the time and use old Chinese in an every day way.... I don't think you really need 3000 or 4000. Get to 400 or 800. Then pick up the rest like most people do. Which is using a dictionary. To expand. And you would always work in teams even when in a company anyway, but progress is just slowly edging things in. So.... Just to keep things together is important. The problem with HK is that the most educated people are leaving cos they don't agree with the politics. So you get a high turnover of staffs anyway. And I am sure this IBEL CEO is laughing his heads off. But his failing grace is that he was not active and did not participated in politics. He should've pushed his students a lot harder to also bear the burdens too and then slowly integrate with the rest of society and run a side online course this way. But doing his way ends up splitting up useful resources that could have been utilised in other ways for society. I.e. to protect the elderlies or to see through life and death together. Right now... I get that the ethnic minorities won't think about deaths. They only think about life. I.e. what I can get out of living life. Not what do I need to finish off and do before my death.

  27.  @_to_-cn8wd  : I think this was an old thing.. but the calibre of people really aren't great though. Even this child... Teaching these kids. These children don't look half interested ! Lol.... She doesn't play with them. Lol. Whereas if you see children in the UK..it's laughing from schools to laughing at home.... A full day like this. If you look at HK..it's crying in schools to crying and lectured at home. Big difference.

  28.  @freemanol  : The issue is not that people do and don't speak cantonese. The issue is... who was the original settlers.. and who were the original people. And how come, today, you are giving opportunities to individuals whose roots is not even in HK... to live and be in HK ? Why ? So then it means what... their overseas's relatives KEEP buying their goods.. at an inflated price point, as well as give maintenance fees to run their homes? So we lose out like THREE TIMES ?!!?!?! Get out of here !!!!! And then only for us, who works hard to put in thos same pots... to then see.. the money be MISUSED ?!?!!??! And you expect us to NOT flip ?!!?! HK already uses Fin Tech... it means what.. it means decoupling from the global financial sectors... That is what it has boiled down to. And now, they have Green Bonds.

  29.  @too4627  : Rich men. Or presumed rich men. And wealthy oligarchs. (But they don't know that it is debts. As in loans, that needed to be repaid back etc.) That is because they were never raised with credit cards or lived with loans for their entire lives.. so when they see money. They think that they have earned the money, rather than that they would be expected to pay it back etc... as a loan. They don't know how it works. And this boils back to the financial crisis etc.... And the country refuses to reform as well ???....

  30. You are speaking to a netizens me. Whose ancestors were elites in HK before you foreigners moved in. Before migrants moved in. When you talk about corruption and that kind of bs. Sorry it does not include you ??? The official government name for HK was actually Sun On. You did not know this, did you ? It should indeed finally be accepted as this actually. The city is running down a trajectory that is getting worst and worst.... this is not about language. This is about political power and legitimacy.

  31. The more I realised this... why NSL seems to be suppressing them. Cos they have never used media properly or formally portray what they want to say or come across. I cannot imagine how annoying it might be for the 1.4 billion citizens over the border to be seen to make such big assumptions... The translation angle or the piece written by scmp here isn't entirely correct. Cos frankly I expected an actual HK paper to guard the angle from HK itself than to generalise as well. The viewer doesn't know the history of the SE Asian readers or the history of those countries. So the starting point is kind of pointless ? You don't see this in the USA or in Europe. They always refer back to their history. But it is clear that HK doesn't. And lots of rootless migrants tend to run into HK for its money which I find surprising.

  32. Your comment is very splitist.....imho.

  33. You need to remember that in the UK, we already have sophisticated financial products to deal with situations and scenarios already as well. On top of... People decide amongst themselves for an actual situation as well. So... This is way too scary either way ? This is why global trade happens.... And mobility. A question, what are the contributions that refugees are giving to HK ? Even as I live aboard, I am contributing via taxes... Heavily.. to schools.... We cough back up what we earn. Families help back families.

  34.  @ER1CwC  : It is their hometown, and it is their land. Why is this arrogant ? They are at home. And the reason why some cities look "multi-cultural" IS because.... their family members married somebody of the opposite race. And they are and have an actual home. So why are YOU migrating, if your family is not from there? .... This is why some people would attack others really. If you have a Malaysian passport, then you are a Malaysian. No longer a Cantonese, or whatever. Cos you must know some of your elders. Everybody is happy about their elders etc etc etc... So... I don't get the points here.
    1
  35.  @ER1CwC ; It is time that HK addressed the actual immigration issues that they are encountering? Time to truly deal with this as well ? Really, it is time. What does France's own political affairs have anything to do with HK's political affairs ? France also had an actual big colony as well... and it is now having the exact same issue as HK is doing.. with the people unhappy, and the colony's own people moving into France, which is fine. But then they aren't exactly gelling and working together either, which they should do and should have done so. But why ??? Even if a society is declining, they don't need migrants, that is if they don't actually have any kindof financial transaction or weight by other people. Just like, Japan has managed well here.. and their people work very hard to sustain this as well. They literally have a formal immigration process too. As in you cannot become Japanese either. So how come.. HK's immigration process has fallen over? Including their financial sectors as well ? Why ? Japan did not have this happened to them.. and yet, HK's become as such ? Why ???? HK have always had immigration control !!!!! I don't even understand why illegal immigration has ended up as actually becoming a "free for all" ?! It never used to be like this at all !!! Everything has gone downhill since 1997 !!!!!!! NOBODY was allowed freely to ENTER or to leave !!!!! So why do the individuals that moved back into HK or those that is in the civil service or the government dept assumes and thinks that this is OKAY ?!!?!?!!!!!!..... It is NOT OKAY !!!! HK before 1997, only had around 3000 high rises.. It now has around 9000 high rises, and it is EMPTY !!!! EMPTY BUILDINGS !!!!!! It does not and cannot even afford to keep those buildings !!! Chinese law stated clearly, if you are from this place, then this is your hometown. THE END. I am beginning to understand why Carrie Lam was in power.. same as Li Ka Chiu... actually. Both of their ancestral graves ARE in HK... So why should they NOT be in those positions ???....

  36. SCMP should NOT have gone ahead and published and contacted the newspaper yet. Cos.. what they should have done, is to also so a comparison tests with the original denivosan... and find that actual university, and have an actual collaboration. At this point in time, they are dating this specific actual bones, and comparing it to literatures only. Without compariing the original other bone, which was raised from that original article. Cos maybe when you have two samples to compare, you will find that there is an actual discrepency ?

  37.  @nigellei8591  : It is wrong to use "urban" and "rural" inter-changeably... because frankly.. some of those are literally taken up and misconstrued in English. SOME of those lands.. should be hands off from Western firms ! Cos they are imperial lands ! Just like in the UK and in Europe as well. There are Royalty's lands... gentry's lands.. and then there are "public lands that could be build on"... And EVERYBODY... including the Royal family PAYS TAXES !!!! So I don't get why some people tried to escape from paying taxes. I don't ? The reason why some of the lands the Queen had blocked to pay taxes on, is because she would be paying twice. i.e. She uses some of the money from that land for her charities already... so she cannot be taxed again etc... That is the only thing. But otherwise, she did pay her taxes too. (Normally to fill in gaps.)

  38.  @willy_gooseling69  : That is what you think.... rapes, and also robberies have started.... and also money laundering... and more... The locals are not happy. And that they don't even get to eat local food or produces. And then... rents are too high. So therefore no decent pricing of food ? On top of this. There is no commerce except finance and the service sector, and tourism. Because of this... currently a lot of people cannot afford the rental. So they shut. And then those who cannot afford mortgages... rents... and some even local oligarchs.. and selling their lands, to release money.. in order to plough back into the economy. Some of the insurance companies, and various entities have leased out sponsor money.. to raise money for concerts.. in order to indirectly boom the consumer spendings. The treasury cannot balance the books. So they are now offering, or using the tax as consumption vouchers.... Cos frankly... the... city in the brink of collapse. So I don't get your point ? Try and read the local news.

  40. Lol. It's got so much history that I don't even know about too ! And I thought that my Lonelyplanet guide is quite up to date ! Obviously not !..... I just feel bad that I never got to ride on those junk sails... Cos that was on the cards before in the 1980s... People were still sailing those too... And then life happens. It's definitely a city that had lots of opportunities...

  42. Andrew Collier...."Bank of China USA".....(So he invested in those tech companies originally. And now, they are naturing. He now owns the data or the marketing data of those tech companies and what they produced.) And now... the MD of Orient Capital Research...... (Data or market data of those specific investments, and watch them mature.. and he now takes a different position in society.) Global elitists ? Yeh.... And instead of a video blog or a social media.. but going back to one generation's back... the podcast... the radio..... Meanwhile.. the rest of us, once again.... How do we know what has been happening, or not ???

  43. "State-owned enterprises".... Really? Don't they mean..."taken/stolen money from other citizens in another province"... kind of BS ? Yes, that is what it was !!! And it is WELL documented !!!!! Even the ex-employee of the World Bank SAY SO !!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Ree4Dtg2g&t=321s Other countries are also in debts.. but they stay within their own boundaries.. as well... So the point is to at least build slowly... and then be clever with the profits... Cos once people literally have experienced wealth, they don't want to let go. And this is quite harmful really isn't it ????.... And those notes about property as well.... Er....

  44.  @セイデン : "little red book-er" is a social media analyst that either gets paid, or doesn't get paid.. but they bad mouth their opposition. Whoever wins and bat down their opposition party, wins. And when they win. This is noted as well with their so called online... company, and the state companies as well.. in which case then.. it activates some kind of action. Either everybody is banned, or censored or edited.. or whatever. Sometimes, they edit things out cos it violates actual laws. Other times, they edit or filter, cos it is not paid competition etc. So. .. you just dont know what you are dealing with, at all ? And they also take other people's datas as well, without authorisation. Like, foreigners' data.... (like me).... and try to monetise that as well, to their advantages. (Which is actually illegal. Cos they fall into different jurisdiction.) This is the fault of china, for trying to "copy"... but not actually filter out their own different markets etc. They basically merged news with online sales, and marketing etc. So this is why nobody knows what is going on any more.

  45.  @セイデン  : Cos they have actual "analytics" apparently... that either supports or doesn't support.. the government. Kind of like, an opinion poll.... but this is not very accurate since censors can manipulate those figures too. And this causes basically life and death. Cos borders could change. People could lose jobs. Money or state loans could be stopped. etc etc etc. All based on these kind of so called opinion polls etc.

  46. Macau only existed before was because there were not any type of formal banking, or systems in place. So this was why itwas created. People know how to play games... but really, what it tried to become was a kind of bureau de change. For those idiotic communists. And yet... some people also see it as against them as well. This is an indirect lie. But here now in 2022... we have no reasons to lie any more.. or to pretend... The so called CCP signed onto the WTO... So... this basically destroyed, any potential form of banking, or mechanisms for that at all. It is done and dusted. It is finished. Lots of these so called politicians.. just doesn't want to see their own salaries die down.. and they don't want to see themselves as without a job. This is why they want this to exist. But to be frank, nobody sodding cares. In all honesty..... china has ruined the world.. what and why does this need to exist? PRC now can rob other countries.. in many different ways. Why does this casino still need to exist.. and to grab the taxes from individuals ? When you see other casinos that exist as well... across the globe... I mean... This form of mechanism... and organisation does not need to exist in modern day society any more. It is finished. The end. Grow up !

Maybe it is time that, people are taught how to best best pieces ??? Even the West, would not be THIS frivalous... Most people buy the best one that they like the most, and keep it forever... And even the nicest ones, I will pass to family. Only daughters ! People ARE greedy in China. Extremely greedy.
