  5. For anyone who could read the old traditional chinese character sets... and if they read wikipedia, and then the chinese format as well... I think there is a mega big mistranslation which went on. I am beginning to think that this was deliberately done. How could the situation get so bad ?? All I know is that, historically speaking, and we are talking about going way back into the 2000 BC (before Christ)... back then, there were the people who lived near the two main rivers of China. The Yellow River, and the Yangzte.... These are, and most people classify as Hans.. or "Xia" (or.... "Hua" in Cantonese).... because... Either you could argue that, they were the same set of people, or were two sets. Some of these people moved upwards to be Northern, and population what became Korea, and Mongolian etc. However, there was this other oddball migration from the West China... which were actually from Europe !! It is this group, which brought the "dynastic model"... and Imperialism... Somehow, their dynastic model... became like a national model or other.. but then not everyone knew or accepted this. Hence, the continuous fightings and so forth... and then inter-marriages and "gifting" when the war was won, or if you took one side over another etc. This is why when ROC won the "Middle Kingdom" briefly... it only accepted that China had 5 major races. Not 56 tribes !!!! And the 56 tribes are kept getting state benefits... and now, the CCP members want to migrate them, and turn them into economic slaves... and move them into urban areas, in order to boost GDPs etc. This is why people are rebelling... From zero debt, to high debt. Outrageous.

  10.  @ireneserrano4570  : No... I think you will find that, they DO classify it as such. And that, they were living off lands that were part of the Imperial structure. and this is why they stayed. And this now, is actually part and partial.. and it is on their home registration identity card. i.e. Their "hukuo"... Which is even what I knew as a child... my "heung ha".... I think you need to understand the English language, to understand what it means and imply. Cos often, I hear and see the different interpretation from Singapore or from Malaysia etc. And yes... even in HK... families still keep an actual family tree book. So what are these newspapers doing ? Even in the UK... they still keep a family tree book as well !!! What has the "56 ethinc groups"... all registered... to people living in SE Asia... unregistered in the new era PRC's system? You're no longer included. lol... I find it funny how... people now.. keep saying things which were actually very old and very random as well ? Don't tell me that.. you want to live in HK now.. because they used the terms "ethnic groups"... in their constitution and you misinterpreted it. And that you had no sense of identity etc ? Isn't it funny then... plastered ALL over HK's media.. kept saying things like... "we want patriots to rule HK"... So are YOU wanting to be a PATRIOT ? Do YOU see yourself as part of the "56 ethnic groups" people ??? Is this what you are trying to tell me ? lol..... I don't get it. I really don't ? And you don't even understand who the "回Hui " people are... do you ?..... Maybe if you read or is able to read chinese characters, it might help. Funny how even though I am born abroad.. in the UK... I still could read and write the full set of Hans chinese characters.. even though the GCSE level then was very rudimentary and very basic as well. And yet... foreigners living in HK.. even after 20 years... still speak English and not Cantonese. Weird, that.

  12.  @ireneserrano4570  : First of all.. you are using the English language. Second of all... SE Asian dispora.. and the chinese history has NOT been translated properly formerly OR correctly. The word you arelooking for is "Imperial China". "Ethnic group" is by racial. By racial.. we mean by DNA racial classification. That is.. Caucasian. Black. Chinese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization) This is why when you guys keep using those "terms" but yet mean different things, come across to me that you're not that educated in all honesty ? And this is the start of the problem as well. Cos your translation or deliberate mistranslation is what is causing political divides as well. And considering that there did not used to be that many romanisation systems in place as such as well... Which then means that, what YOU guys are saying is actually wrong ? And when one mistake is made.. continuous mistakes happen again and again and again... over and over and over again..... I don't know what you mean by "ethnia". I am talking about "ethnic". Ethnicities.. according to British racial laws, define a person's actual race. Considering that HK was actually a BRITISH colony. Not an Indonesian colony. NOT a Dutch colony. Not an American colony. It was a British colony. This is whereby I know for certainty that you don't even know what you are talking about. And often mislead the other sheeps to follow suit as well. When people talk about "chinese" they don't mean the race, they meant the nationalities !!!! THIS is whereby you guys deliberately confuses and mislead others as well in the romanisation. 回族 = 回教人 = Muslims (Chinese-muslims aka "Hui" people, and this is defined on their identity cards in the PRC.) "Chinese" in many Western countries are basically implies that they are Hans Chinese. (Or this is the assumption.) Not Chinese-muslims. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hui_people Even if those are the surnames of the Hui/Chinese-Muslims... and then ??? I am trying to correct your language and you are trying to deliberately be obtuse about it ! So why isn't then.. that collective groups of surnames.. if they have lived in that same region... and that they are a community.. and that they are ALL of the Chinese-Muslim groups.. that.. they cannot be related ? The chances of them being related to one another.. because one muslim entered China many years ago... and then married a chinese Hans. So why can't those individuals now be classified as loosely related ? So why isn't this a "family clan" of multiple surnames ? Cos frankly, it IS !

  13.  @ireneserrano4570  : When Britain joined the UN.. it created that "global model" because... those were the genuine archeological finds. And those 3 neolithic bones are indeed just those three. There is a talk about dividian as well... so possibly a global 4. Maximum. Anybody else, are the descendents of. So you cannot further classify something which was million years old.. with your current a mere under 200 years of inter-mixing ! When Chinese people references 黄帝, ... they mean that they are the descendents of him. The children of the yellow rivers. The beginning of Hans chinese. This is what they mean. Cos frankly, they have a right to claim that heritage. And why should you stop them ? To use the term "hans chinese" or "chinese" to denote that they mean Hans. Is not wrong, imho. Cos "chinese" = "middle kingdom person". Are those Silk Road traders "the middle kingdom people" ? Actually... the chinese nation does not include them to be so ! They are merely living in the boundaries and areas of the chinese state. But they are not classified as "chinese" ! Otherwise, then they would not have those classification under their own identity cards to be of another "race" !!!! Would they ???!!!..... And with Hans Chinese.. there is a distinct culture and ettiquettes surrounding how they live ! Or how they are supposed to live !!!! So I don't get your point in teaching Cantonese, or Chinese.. to non-familial non-chinese ! Cos by right... those who are taught Chinese... often have to have the family ties to imperial civil servants etc !!! The fact that... they don't include them. Speaks volume. Don't you think ????.... It's like Latin... in the UK.. not everyone is taught Latin. And not everybody would become part of the Church of England either. So yeh... I don't get why these individuals, despite being given the money. The resources. The opportunities. And still come back and insult the government of negligence... when the opportunities had been there. IF Imperial Tang Dynasty Code existed in HK... once again... these individuals would have actually been sentenced to death already. Literally. For being unfair to produce an accusation... when their own efforts on doing is not even there.

  16.  @madsam0320  : Because there are no lands any more. Each time land is used.. it will affect the other building's prices. And yet... people keep wanting to use this piece of city.. as an actual leverage to their own finances, back in their homes. And they only do this.. cos they know that the special contract and condition that it is currently in. So.. instead of dealing with things in the right way.. even the government did not do things in the right way.. Cos they did not expect globalisation to also attract other issues onto their soil as well... These individuals.. have no place in HK... Why ? Cos the situation is getting a bit desperate as well. They're at risk either way. Cos there is like an energy ban... so some companies have to reduce their energies as well anyway... So.. why stay in a place, that is now 1) losing electricies... 2) losing food.. and local farmers refuses to farm.. bureacracies blocked food from local production, importing food is getting pricy.... 3) people aren't wanting these refugees or maids any more.. if they wanted to do business, then they should enter further into the mainland.. BUT.. the PRC also locked other regions too... now... So therefore.. they can't get past HK into the mainland anyway... They absolutely blocked the internal way. 4) Odd and weird criminal offences are starting to occur.. or maybe reclassified... so therefore... even if ... people could do things like they did in the past. They no longer could. Cos why? The internet brings both the laws and legality.. and also to spot criminalities in an easier way.... So.. I mean...

  45. China is stuck because.. the smartest people that they need, they already have inside the company. So then.. outside the company. They don't have the knowledge or the creators? So it ends up top heavy. If this was the situation... what a "free market" like the USA would do.. is to kick out those people... and then those people enter the actual market.. and they create or demand from the manufacturers... products that they want. But because China is a closed, and tightly controlled "state-owned enterprises" as well.... This is what normally happens. They are kind of kowtowing, and somewhat blinded. This is why... they would always want overseas people... Cos they have better idea sometimes. But doing this... also invite social harassments from the locals too. Cos then, they don't even actually... they will resent the overseas' candidates in getting the job, but not themselves ???.... And by right, the teaching sector should focused on continually.. keep repeating the next 10 year's goals to the kids and the children.. but of course, forward planning is not a thing in China. Cos they plan bakcwards... mostly on the national level.. and not on the local level upwards. Some said that was what happened... but in reality... well... Now people are lost. Cos you cannot trump... the future.. by doing the everything now. And not earn to keep and to create a future? In some smart countries.. They will use the "wrong methods for 10 years to hold the forte"... only for the next turning point... the year 11... for the next generation to do. This is what other countries does. Of course.. China won't learn these kind of tricks...
