Some of those earlier people could've been the scholar classes of the old chinese imperial dynasties you know ? Not all were slaves... and that is the ultimate saddest thing of all !

@Trevor : Because if you see the ultimate "Japanese" royal bloodline, they are indeed altiac... and they did have relationships with the Northern China... So at some point in time they split. At the same time... The Japanese political tier, also absorbed some of the Han's Qin huang Di's civil servant set of people. So therefore, they do have SOME "chinese" blood, if you want to call it that... today, PRC has around not just Hans chinese (austronesian, not the altiac one)... They also have some of the muslims, from Ottoman Empire, or Mughal empire (mongols)... ruling the actual country. So this is why, you would never get a "single china agreement" from them at all ? So.. if Japan wanted certain Southern China... they ARE literally entitled. Like, seriously entitled. Cos their previous governors moved there... so shouldn't that land belong to them ? Bearing in mind that, those civil servants WERE actual... "land gentries" gifted land via an Imperial system, kind. Not the kind that fought their way and won the land land.... This is why, if you look at Japan today, they absorbed, and integrated their migrant's heritage, and cultures, and civil service tier system.... They made it fair, basically. (FYI, this is exempted from those "elites" who left China and went abroad to do cultural exchanges.. those were the kids of the scholar classes, and those who wanted to over throw the eventual Qing dynasty... And yes, I think I fell into this group. Well.. some people call it this, but then again, it WAS post second world war, and Qing dynasty DID send SOME people abroad to work, and of course, for them, it is not their own Qing people.. It was the Hans race people who went abroad to work as slaves... Or so some people in HK keep referring to those work as slavery work. But didn't some YT contents now showed that, the Eight Nations helped the Qing to fight back the Boxer's Rebellion, and then in the end, they demanded the payments and bond ? So then they took the people instead.. and got them to work off those... bond. And this is how the financial system was created, cos of those people... Not because of greedy Qing, whose empress asked the chinese-muslims to fight the Hans and rebellions cos they rose and went up towards Beijing to overthrow this government ?? Did she not created a coup ? Western media and academics often call it a "coup", but in reality... there is no single China. Only the US cos they signed those financial treaties and things will always refer this to be the case.) No ?? I am still quite sore about HK...

Really ? Are you saying that people in that village in China, is actually of Italian descent ? I never knew this... And how much of China actually had Europeans on their soil too. Now, this is surprising. And also, was his ethnicity, part of the so called "56 ethnic groups" ? I bet not.

@nevion5533 : The whole social media, and the whole "metaverse" and the tech sector, is genuinely doing my head in. It really is !!! My idea of the fact that.. well.. I can see that, even I am brainwashed by the media, is all I can say. I used to think that, I was..."the only chinese looking child in my town"... into a whopping..."there are no white people any more in my town!".... This is actually really true and true of the UK now ? I used to think that "Existential Crisis" or that "Quarter-life crisis" was something that you go through as a person. As an adult. But I realise that now... This is really both the effect of this era of ours... which is internet, and then digital media... On top of... gazillion people, connecting... "But they are NOT allowed to speak the truth".... Which is absolutely crazy. Copywriting just do not exist in social media. "Written tone", or "interactive desires" ?! Which ??? I can really relate to what this man went through.. but at last... He still managed to have a future family. Yeh... we may think that he looks insane. Or from the bystanders' viewpoint, but at least he got on in life. As opposed to many of us, who is stuck in the virtual world. Which is also crazy.

@nevion5533 : FYI... funny story... when I was in my 20s.. I am now in my 40s... When I was in my 20s, and I back-packed across Europe as well.. and I recall that I went to Amsterdam with my girlie friends... We went to the Red Light District... and I will tell you THIS much.... We were truly freaked. The people cannot understand how come we can speak English for one, and then secondly.... they asked us if we were Japanese ? We said no. I presume that porn was a thing back then. (Until most people realises that this ISN'T a normal thing in society in general. If my parents knew of this, or realises of this, I think in those days, they will still want to protect their own child, and chase you down the road either with their shoes, or with a meat cleaver. Sad, but true.) So yes... they asked us girls who we were. Of which we said "We're from England." And they were kind of shocked. And I was ALSO shocked too. Cos I realised that they too have never ever seen another Asian looking face before ? I suppose, this is and should be natural... which it should be, really. (And I will always remember what my father said.... cos he used to be a seaman from HK, and he worked on those trading ships. He said..... : "We cannot discriminate the white people you know? Cos they also have a family too." I shall always remember those words, and what he said.) That was when HK was also a shipping port, and then you have a lot of people from different regions of the world going in and out of the ports and things like that. Maybe he too had people actually... people who helped him along his journey too. My grandfather used to keep a small store, and sold some basic items like coca cola, and instant noodles back in the 1970s, 1980s... and I would always remember the hikers that would get lost in our village, just stuck. And my grandfather would make a bowl of instant noodle with eggs for him, and a can of coke. That's what I would always remember. I think people, needs to take a step back... and remind themselves... How... life was, before the internet explosion. Well.. I cannot imagine a bowl of noodle soup... and an actual... pocket egg any more. I think people will shout in your face "cheap food" !! Well... I digress...

@chrisrudling9795 : I think it is the broadcasting aspect that is wrong, imho... I still recall it was not that long ago that most citizens could pick up a phone and call and complain to the BBC, or the C4 tv channels as well. Especially if we think something is quite wrong, imho. The same should be said of the "social media" of today. Laowhy is doing that typical American thing, cos it is allowed in the USA, but it does not extend to ALL countries though ! Obviously ! What I am surprised at, is still the fact that people can move across the world so easily, and not think about their futures.. or things like that. I mean, it was not that long ago that I would only travel one hour away from family for university. I certainly would not dare to dream of to travel across the entire world for study or for work ! I think just the travelling and to be displaced is already bad enough, in all honesty... I used to be so kind and nice to chinese migrants too.. but I have finally decided to "shut down", after being called a "turtle"... or whatever whatever BS that comes out of people's mouths... I've had enough. Don't care. Don't want to know. I've been bitten twice, by different chinese women ! Is it me that has the problems ? When I try to mind my Ps and Qs? Or is it them ? I cannot figure this out ! Isn't ASBO still a thing ?!.... I thought that was considered as a jailable offence ! ...Personal assault. Social media has certainly really brainwashed a lot of people really.

@Val.Kyrie. : During that period of the second world war too, it was so chaotic... My mom said that, the richer families, used to be given a baby to "register", in case you would lose this baby. Cos either you cannot feed it, or that it dies of starvation... Or that, the state would take them away. So my mom said that, she had to give away babies to families that can afford to look after them for a while. She said that my father was one of such child. And then when she was able to have her own child, he was given back. (Well.. I don't know whether this is also to show that, the childless families not be prosecuted or whatever either. So this "auntie" of our family... my mom calls her sister. He was informally adopted, although... he isn't her son. She eventually had more kids, and that changed things a lot really. Well, we were liberated in HK back then, and the British actually signed a lot of papers, which secured the land away from potential invasion from the Japanese. Although, yes, there were marches and fights and things, but not as extreme as in singapore or Malaysia, I've heard... And there was a recent video that I found out too. Of some of the armenian traders, that showed some kind of imperial seal that warded off their army from HK. (Was it not the Ho Tung family ? The Dutch-Jewish-Cantonese... ) So it was a collectively effort, which kept the people and the land safe.... (Although, by then.. a lot of invaders from Fuijian, the ones that were not families, have taken hold of the land too, away from Ming dynasties' rules.. but that was something I read later...) Just for the record.. in terms of different "chinese".. in the UK.. there is a mega big whopping fight, between those who are from Fuijian.. to those that are from Canton. Fuijianese, fighting Cantonese is a real and a big thing inside the United Kingdom.. and of course.. a lot of locals, would not bat an eyelid on that one, and assumes that "they are ALL chinese"... and steps right over that one. People need to connect the dots.. to get what IS going on. Some of the so called "mandarin" is literally a blend of actually... russian/turkic/mongol/chinese hans writing system... but of course, nobody bats an eyelid on that one. Cos why ? It stops people going into war.

Would you call such a group of people to be "Turkic" or even "turkish" ? Cos in truth, did Turkey existed before Indo-Europeans, or did they, or were they created afterwards ? Considering that we kind of accepted that Europe existed, and that India/Ottoman Empire existed too...

@scottloar : Who ? Some people said that, some of the current people in HK are also of African descent as well. And that is due to the trade route, and the silk road as well... Due to the British bringing in actual slaves from African countries onto the Chinese export/import route.. So yes, as you can see why... The Qing dynasty asked the people, the indigenous people of that region to move away from the coastal areas.. and alas, when the "all clear" can move back... Their lands were stolen. And the trajectory of that land ownership is still being disputed even today. Fantastic... and of course, a lot of the assets are now belonged to different trade families...

@sosoable : South Korea is not a single race. It has at least 3- 4 that I can think of. It just does not officially recognise them. Cos you have SOME blood that is considered as Korean, so therefore only Korean.

Really? Fascinating. Really odd....

@lola-to9om : Naruto was probably based on this real man's life. And then they created it in animation format. Just like most materials are.. for the Netflix product. So.... There is a phrase in Cantonese... "Life is a dream"... What we create in art, is dreamy.. and here we are.. the source of that creation.

@harrygeocaris3179 : Er... that is not true.. cos some of the old graves.. have been destroyed? China has a policy..."i f the ruling party is still ruling, then destroy all of your enemies' things"... I think THAT should be noted. Actually. Being someone of weitou descent, from HK... even my language has been eradicated for one. And I am often given names and BS a lot as well.. if I translated into English, I think you will find it odd... Like very odd what people say to one another. I think the latest thing was "cockcroach"... in Cantonese.. by Singaporeans or Malaysians...

@Harry Geocaris : What is there to bite ? What I say is true and factual. "圍頭" = Weitou. I would not say this word and use it, if I am not descended from this. Search Weitou dialect for the wiki. It is really funny cos because of the UN and everything... they have now identified the language as a "lost language"... !! So weird. That means that... the actual old... dialects, and the people are basically being bulldozed over by. It basically implies that.. those who were and are genuinely Hans chinese, are slowly being made into a minority group today, inside the so called living mainland. That is the ultimate truth. From what I can indeed gather.. so many chinese also migrated OUT of China.. Out of the mainland, so much so that, people like myself.. are in the minority grouping ? And are also kind of rare.. as so many chinese also already intermarried in some of those original SE Asian Islands... So.. therefore.. we have become extinct ! (Meaning, the "original chinese" are becoming extinct.)

@jameswatson5807 : In HK, you now have a lot of non-Cantonese looking people speaking Cantonese too... and I mean, now they are saying that equality has to exist in HK. (And even my ancestral land has to be given away... yeh, seriously....) So... When you look at the people who are from Singapore, or from Malaysia.. and if you look at their facial features.. we say that.."learn feng shui".. and that includes looking at somebody's facial features... Then you can tell where they are from ? Some of the Singaporean, or Malays.. are really actually.... "Tribal Austronesian-European-African-Mongols"... Basically, the main major religion and races before, they have an actual DNA piece from every one of them. I am also surprised to find out recently that some of the old politicians in HK.. who has been serving under the old Legco.. actually had a lot of dispora British Civil servants from different countries of the commonwealth. i.e. Africa, or from Malaysia etc etc. This is why, I can see their actual big lips, those pouty lips from Africa, or other tribes. and then the high cheek bones are normally from Qing dynasties, and Siberian. The shortness of a person comes from Austronesian heritage. That.... "white face that does not darken even under the sun" comes from Europe. lol... I don't know if this is related to melatonin or what...

@jameswatson5807 : I would say around 80% now... for a 8 million city. It is getting less and less than you would think. I mean, even I reside in the UK.. So... and the problem is that, they also no longer hire the locals as well... and with the increasing movements of people in and out. So you do not get priorities, even if you have housing. And those who don't have housing, is experiencing the current socio-economic situation.

@xungnham1388 : He is an Italian citizen, cos China has trade deals with Italy.. and they signed up to the "one belt one road" ? Despite other countries not signing up to that.. They HAVE actually gotten a kind of trade process, based on the old style of treaties. Just not in control via the CCP party. Who wants to RULE the entire world ! And not just other countries ! There is NO need for them to create one belt one road. This is a fallacy.... They refuse to reform like normal countries would, cos they have now many multi-nationals, and multi-ethnic races within their land, and boundaries, and they want to control ALL of them.. via old and achiac chinese (made up ) rules. Hardly just, or fair. I'm sure that Italy is a part of the old Roman Empire... which was a big big big deal.. And I am sure that Laowei here knew that.

Wow... that is weird... I went to Milan in my 20s, and I was quite surprised at the dustiness of the place. And my friends and I tried to find a lot of the "local food" to try.. and we couldn't find it. So we went to some chinese places. And I was quite surprised at how BAD.. chinese food were back there too. Some people just cooked a weird "wishy washy food", which I would not even serve my worst enemy ! I was so surprised at that. Whereas in the UK, we have a really large reportoire in general... and most people ate like a King in all honesty. Because most people from the previous generation migration, were farmers.. Well.. in my family's case.. we were farmers in HK... and then my father worked on the ships. And then we landed in the UK, most people just cooked their own food, and chinatown was kind of born... I never ever ever knew that of Italian leather culture... I mean, I was so surprised. Yeh, I love a typical Italian brand in design... I never knew this piece of history. Used to be so besotted with Color Magazine, or Benetton in general... WELL !.... I take that back now after so much insults coming out from the mainland.. I take it back !!! The amount of money I spent... from goods from China.. is just... I could have fed generations in a family !!! My mother used to be so angry about that... so am I now with myself...
1
So basically, that piece of land, is right, and it is just.. if the British ruled over it then. Right ? Just like how some of the current export docks are owned by the Chinese. Why are they owned by the chinese ???.... Li Ka Shing has like gazillion quid... and if people noticed.. he did that explicit thing... He has two sons. One is to be a legitimate chinese heir.. the second one, he has done a lot, which over threw his own father, and meddled in the financial sector of the HK land.. (which is going to force it back to the PRC government)... and THEN... he also actually.. married a Portugese-Chinese wife. So he shall never be part of the true Ming's elite sets... His father's legacy is now passed onto his first born. And the majority of his father's wealth is now donated into an NGO type organisation away from their family's holdings... into a nunnary/temple.. Isn't this like a move that says.... "we still abide by chinese rule" ? 1 Remove all money from financial institutions. 2 Donate or move money into holding vehicles that have no impact politically. 3 Create bridges that may in the future rebuild the structures...
1
Why can he not be seen as Chinese any more ? Er... it was the chinese foreign money that over threw the qing dynasty.. so.. Why should those money stop flowing then ? In fact, China today, PRC today wants to alienate and kill off Sri Lanka as well ! If anything IS to go by... on how China conquer other regions.. It will lend those money, then send their own people in.. and then KILL off every single one of them. That is how China ruled the world. It was before. It shall be now. It will again.

@Metamerist625 : Actually, that is not too strictly true... but I shall digress...

@sosoable : Yeh... I don't know why I think otherwise, in all honesty... and even though I keep stating that I am of chinese descent ! .... Social media has opened my eyes a lot, in all honesty. Like, really open. This is so weird.. I also came to realise that in HK, the traders, a lot of them were armenians...(this is a strange one)... and then also Jewish traders too. Not just even the Scots that build up the engineering and the railways... and the financial sectors. The banking etc. It isn't genocide for South Korea is it ? Cos what they did was the same thing what the Japanese did. Which is that, they pooled together their businesses. So therefore, this is whereby they created those so called "Keiretsu", and then their central bank surrounded these multi-family corporations, and provided them stabilities. This was to fight against being overtaken really. And in a way, it also draws together their country too, cos unity in this way, means an actual stake in the actual say of the corporations, as well as the banking sectors, as well as their community's welfares... So... But what happened for the mainland wasn't how things panned out. I am sure that there are some kind of surname/family groupings... But I don't think that it worked out the way that it was expected. South Korea is similar too. Hence the welfare of their people is high. UK had something similar as well... in a roundabout way. People created mutuals.
1
@sosoable : If that is so, then how come the whole of China, do not write in the Hans writing systems then ? But it uses a different type of writing systems and that even the simplified format is now created just for the UN and PRC status ?? You tell me... This is hardly integrating anything. I don't even know why I find all of this surprising, since, I am in a similar boat. So is Laowhy here too. I don't know why... or maybe because in my case, I have family that has been here for an awfully long long time ? So we don't see ourselves as either /or...
