DPP is just cheating Taiwanese with its fake propaganda & fake democracy. DPP anti China? I don't think so, DPP had a price tag, whoever can afford this, DPP is going to serve anybody, including China. Only KMT will care about Taiwanese as they are the original founder of modern Taiwan. Look at kaohsiung those stupid voters elected stupid DPP leader, they are going to be suffered from this fake democracy.

                  And the one-China thing? wasn't that a concept that started centuries ago when China was first united and Taiwan wasn't even colonised by Chinese people yet?
                  We live in Australia now, I like to think of my family roots and what would have happened if scenarios… but then again I realize I am part of new ones here… Learning Traditional hanzi now… way more elegant than simplified.

        Yeah nothing bad about China except mass ethnic cleansing of Tibet, East Turkistan (Xinjiang), Inner Mongolia.

        Plus organ harvesting of China's version of Scientology.

        Not forgetting millions of Muslims imprisoned for their having religion.

        Turning a great, liberal, enterprising city, Hong Kong, into another land of false imprisonment and corruption.

        Did I mention a total lack of freedom and privacy of its people who were gunned down in their Capital's main square for disagreeing with the government.

        The Cultural Revolution where millions of their people starved due to maniacal leadership akin to North Korea.

        Oh, they've got lots of shiny new shopping malls. Cool!

                      i'm interested in evidence, you can't make a strong argument based on anecdotal evidence, particularly when they start sourcing "Radio Free Asia was founded and funded in the 1950s by an organization called "Committee for Free Asia" as an anti-communist propaganda operation funded by the Central Intelligence Agency"

                      "Radio Free Asia went off the air in 1955.[13] In 1971 CIA involvement ended and all responsibilities were transferred to a presidentially appointed Board for International Broadcasting (BIB)"

              Do you know in 2009 there was a well organised riot which resulted in thousands of civilians injuried and even murdered on the street? I know that happened for a fact because I was only a few kilometers away and I was 17.

              Do you know how big of an impact it was to the city and people who call it home?
              It's funny and sad that some media intentionally only label those people as Uyghur muslims and leave out the unsettling committed crimes behind the curtain.

              If you wanna know the truth, go visit Xinjiang yourself, it's not on the moon. If you don't care at all, at least plz stop spreading racist negs on a bargaining site.

                  5th July 2009 is the most well-known.

                  Do you really believe there was no precedent and government just started imprisoning people for nothing? As far as I know, when it comes to domestic cultural issues, there is no simple solution. Well, NZ has been doing an amazing job.

                      It's Falun Gong, not Falon… and it's a cult. Do you really know what are you defending…? See this

                      I just don't like the way you spread misleading info. And it's truly disrespectful since all you see and use are their labels "minority Muslim, Christian, practitioner" . There are also many mobs who got put in prison without public trials. Why don't you use this?

              There's a billion of them, there'll be heaps of bastards and arseholes etc etc.

              Many of them act under instructions of authority and justify their actions based on their boss or colleague or culture against certain others. Think of our soldiers who have committed war crimes.

              Which is why i state the CCP itself is wrong, why is it wrong? Because you have one man, who is effectively king, and wishes to keep his throne forever (as you can imagine), and does this by any means necessary. This is what is wrong, and i am against, and i support the free HK movement, and etc etc. But i do not hate chinese people or language, there's no reason to target a whole race (oh which i am part of mind you). Plus, there are many dissenters whom are chinese who speak out too, many risk their lives to speak out, often in mando as well.

              I'd wager the % of Chinese who are bad people are probably no different to westerners who are bad people.

        It's called expressing an opinion based on facts.

        Low intelligence is just criticising people without a valid reason.

      Surely you know Chinese is spoken in many countries/ethnic zones and not exclusive to people in China, right? Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan just to name a few, even Japanese kanji was borrowed from Chinese characters which goes to show the vast cultural significance the language has throughout the region. As @sinewaves7ā€™s said, itā€™s a useful tool to negotiate and forge new partnerships in times of need.

      Say what you will about politics, but picking on the language/culture seems really redundant to me. I get the sentiment, but why discount a language based on the actions of a single regime? Idk do people in Asia laugh at the English language because of what a joke Trump is? Did Dutch-speaking folks get shit back in the days of their appalling slavery? And who are we to speak when our kids rarely get taught indigenous languages at school? Oh yes, we were the overlords. Regimes fall, alliances alternate, political stances change over time, yet culture remains and thatā€™s what many identify with.

      Make your voices heard by all means, but learn to differentiate between politics and culture yā€™all

        All true, but this is a free country and this is a language spoken mostly in a country where people have basically no rights and no freedom of speech.

        Trust me it's both politics and culture. Most Taiwanese, Hongkong people and even Singaporean who speak Chinese don't accept they are Chinese until they need to, e.g. if they are holding a Singaporean or Taiwanese passport, they proudly deny being Chinese, but when there's a job position that requires the person to be Chinese then Chinese they are, or when it comes to China on Corona virus, the majority of Chinese speakers in these countries stand up for China as they believe that is their mother country (But is China mother country of Singapore? Of course not). That's the unofficial double standard every Chinese person in the world has. I'm not just saying this out of nothing, I have asked many of my friends from these countries on this particular topic.

    • HaiG on 24/09/2020 - 10:42

      Because anywhere in the world when you travel you will encounter some stranger coming to you asking something in Chinese as if everyone speaks Chinese - I'm Asian and I'm in that situation all the time. If you learn it you will then be able to talk to those, maybe : ))

        That's what the CCP wants you to believe. Unless they are mutually intelligible, they're separate languages. Cantonese speakers cannot understand mandarin and vice versa

          Many Cantonese speakers are biliterate and trilingual (can read English and Chinese, speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin)

          • [Deactivated] on 23/09/2020 - 18:42

            @Rain Cloud: Yes, they need to learn a NEW LANGUAGE to communicate with their Mainland oppressors.

              @[Deactivated]: Canton refers to Guangdong, which last I checked was very much on the mainland.

            puts me to shame, there's like 3 words i can understand of mando, lol, i even went to do a subject in uni for mando and can't remember any of it its so different.
            So my conclusion is many Cantonese speakers are not bi-literate and trilingual, just depends on whom you speak to.

            • Rain Cloud on 24/09/2020 - 06:46

              @cloudy: I said many, not all. Or to some degree/variation. I speak Cantonese but not Mandarin, but can understand a few common words and phrases as they sound similar to them in Cantonese. I can read some (traditional) Chinese but can't write it. I also grew up in Australia and don't know or socialise with people who speak Mandarin so thats probably why. You mainly become fluent in a language only if you use it often.

              • cloudy on 24/09/2020 - 08:22

                @Rain Cloud: I know you said many, so did I. Just saying our individual observations are pretty meaningless.

          I know Mandarin. I can understand Cantonese and Shanghainese. From my perspective, they are effectively dialects. They also utilize the same system of characters - hanzi.

            @HentaiEnjoyer: Yes they do but culturally Cantonese has evolved a lot. There is so much in Cantonese where the expressions just donā€™t translate well even if you wrote it in Chinese characters. Thereā€™s been a lot of research from linguistic experts interested in the area and they cite that Cantonese had more permutations of expressions than mandarin. But the fact is I donā€™t find them interchangeable.

            @HentaiEnjoyer: No they don't. Mainland uses simplified characters and HK and Taiwan use beautiful traditional characters.

                  @lone0113: I think this may have been one time when the CCP genuinely wanted yo improve China. Or maybe they wanted to have more control over the people. Knowing them, probably the latter.
