the chinese

I don't think all greys are in the same exact spiritual stage of development, nor are humans. It's like saying "the chinese", as if 1 billion people think exactly the same and are interchangeable. I t…

Intermediaries to circumvent tariffs — What's stopping US businesses partnering with businesses in low tariff countries who can order the Chinese goods, amend/alter it in a material way to claim it as the country of origin/manufacturing an…

‘Bing’s Cherries’ rewrites the American tall tale through Oregon grower’s life — “Bing’s Cherries,” written and illustrated by Taiwanese American authors Livia Blackburne and Julia Kuo, is set for publication on March 10. **If you grew up in the United States, chances are the fol…

The term lunar new year was first used in British Hong Kong to quell Anti-colonial anti-imperialist sentimemts — “Lunar New Year” was first used to refer to the Chinese New Year in legal documentation in British Hong Kong in 1968. The holiday was officially called "Chinese New Year" in British Hong Kong until th…

Movie List: Chinese movies where the antagonist(s) are racist/imperialist White/Westerners and get their asses kicked — I thought I would make a list of some Chinese movies(mostly martial art action films) where the main antagonist is a racist and/or imperialist white. These movies are all fun and feel good, and while …

Major John Liu Fugh — I came across this guy during my general reading. This is Major John Liu Fugh. He was the first Chinese American who was able to attain rank of General in the US army. He was born in China and his …

Polish old man asking Polish girl why she's with a "Chinaman". — I can't post the video for some reasons but here's the link and description, An Asian man (Chinese) confronts an old Polish man after the older Polish man did not like the fact a Chinese man has a Po…

dealing with weebs? lol — hi all, i hope everyone is doing well! i (22F) am a japanese-american who just got into a phd program and will be further studying the asian american diaspora. i love my community very very much and l…

Feeling a little bit of shame identifying as cantonese over chinese — this is something i've started to think about more recently and am wondering if anyone else feels the same i'm first gen abc, while my parents are from the guangdong/canton region in mainland china. …

The Tragedy of the Chinese Music Industry (and Society) — If anyone's been following the recent controversy in China concerning singers Li Ronghao and Shan Yichun, you've probably seen the actually vile environment that is the Chinese internet (and Chinese s…

Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship is taking us back to the 1800s — Wong Kim Ark’s fight for citizenship is before the Supreme Court again. Opening arguments started on Wednesday in a Supreme Court case over President Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict birthright cit…

POC solidarity as an Asian — Firstly I would not like for this post to derail into other non-Asian POC hate, and I know this is not ALL non-Asian POCs being this way. I know this bc my own non-Asian POC (Black, Indigenous Blak, P…

At Portland’s Lone Fir graves, a long-awaited apology is finally heard — At a ceremony honoring ancestors and marking the start of memorial construction at Lone Fir Cemetery’s Block 14, Multnomah County’s chair and commissioners read their apology on site for the first tim…

TIL that in mid-19th-century New York, marriages between Chinese men and Irish women were incredibly common. The Irish immigrant community had a massive surplus of women (two for every man), while the Chinese community was overwhelmingly male, leading to frequent unions between the two groups. — https://www.speakingofchina.com/amwf-history/marriages-irish-women-chinese-men/

My parents tried to unalive me on Easter — I need to share my long story to feel some sense of relief. I am a female in my 30s. I did not fully grow up at home. I spent years as a ward of the state. After a siblings passing I tried to make a …

I'm a Taiwanese-American scientist running for Congress in CA-32. Another candidate called me a Chinese spy and asked a rival campaign to act on it. Here are all the receipts. — **Edit 2**: The full unedited video of the forum I attended on April 8, 2026, less than two hours after seeing the March 5-6 texts from Anna Wilding is now live on YouTube. I showed up, I did my job, …

Yep. Everything points to a rebirth, especially when cross-referencing the Chinese zodiac.

technically, she would've have had to make a choice regarding citizenship by now. but as with any country, legal and bureaucracy matters move as quickly or as slowly as the government needs. also, th…

Yes. having lived in Africa for a good bit, everyone doubts you are american. theres some pros and there are some cons. if you are east asian, a lot of them assume you are chinese, and some have a ten…

You’ll do great in New York if you’re 6’1” in freedom units and have good English. Main thing I’m guessing you’re born and raised in China and probably coming here on F-1+OPT or H-1B. Accent or Engl…

A few things. U can tell the guy is from Manchurian empire period by the hairstyle he was rocking. For context less than 1% of Chinese population are ethnically Manchu. Over 95% will be Han Chines…

Interesting. I will start by where I do agree with u. Being Manchurian will not be an advantage when it comes to racism in the US as most people won’t know (or care) the difference between different…

Mamdani was partying it up at the Chinese new year celebration. Does that count? /s Democrats in NYC have never done anything for Asians.

This is only a problem for Asian diaspora that are struggling with identity and whites with white guilt. People with a sense of identity call it whatever the holiday name is. Lunar new year, latinx, f…

In reality though, everyone in Hong Kong (when using English) says Chinese New Year. I think people should just use terms to reflect what they celebrate, and not stress over inclusivity. I say Chine…

I'm 2nd gen Viet-American and my family always called it CNY since they arrived in the 70s. Separating the date/calculations to label it "Lunar" ignores that all of the accompanying traditions eg luck…

A lot of people are commenting about how they call it this and they prefer this or that bc they’re not Chinese. That fine I’m not telling you to not do that, like I said I think it’s important to call…

Andrew Koji in Warrior is the only recent example I can think of where they cast an AM in a role traditionally played by XM: a silent, brooding, physical, romantic lead in a big budget movie/show.  He…

Then I think we agree. I also wouldn’t say Chinese new year to a non Chinese person celebrating it. And I agree the Chinese specific event should be called Chinese new year, which sometimes it is not …

I don’t agree that Lunar New Year is more fitting. Chinese New Year refers to the Chinese lunarsolar calendar. I do agree that both terms weird are terms because holidays are not really English in fir…

The best English word to describe what we’re trying to talk about already exists, and it’s not “Lunar”. We both used it to refer to the ancient Chinese cultural sphere. Calling the Chinese Calendar …

That’s a fair way to put it. However, classifying a Musical style based off its origin when a multitude of people can participate in it doesn’t seem too different, but again it’s up to an individuals …

I am going to ask you this because based on your profile, you seem to know what you’re talking about, and I’d like to learn more. What I don’t understand is why Chinese people will forever victimize …

I suspect that person is just concern trolling. They're just trying to justify and possibly support erasing the Chinese roots of Chinese things and expect Chinese people to be okay with it. The fact…

Thanks for sharing, just ordered a copy of Lew-Williams' book, as well as a copy of her earlier book *The Chinese Must Go*. My own area of interest for study is the Chinese diaspora in the Americas f…

Being subject to paying taxes that fund imperialist projects doesn’t mean that one is an imperialist themselves, and criticizing this exact construct is exactly the point of anti-imperialism, I don’t …

i mean, idk. i also have mixed feelings. for instance when my grandparents had the chinese exclusion act imposed on them, where were all these powerful asians standing up for us? i can think of only w…

Idk why people r downvoting you but ur right lol, capcom really putting their japanese (and korean like juri) character as white as possible, while making the chinese character as stereotype ish as po…

Then give shit to the Chinese hockey team. They hired white Canadians and US citizens too. 

My two cents: grouping Asian-Americans in as a singular demographic is akin to grouping Dominicans with Ecuadorians; the only thing they have in common is language. With that said, grouping Ugandans…

We need to get familiar with the concept of selective enforcement so they can’t gaslight us regarding stuff like this. In social media comments, defenders of the Oscar show runners have been saying th…

I live in canada so I know what you mean. That's just north america in general. Depressing car brained suburbs unless you live in the city core. Speaking of the chinese job market, I saw a video abou…

you're looking at the chinese equivalence of iranian diasporoids who begged trump to bomb their homeland

You're actually on the right track with this. In Eastern astrology systems like the Chinese birth chart, there's no concept of a single "sign" at all — your chart has multiple elements interacting, an…

I just saw the movie today and I am disappointed that it’s not getting more love at the theaters (there were only 3 people at my showing), because I (and my Asian bf) really enjoyed the movie. Outside…

Most upper middle class families here in HK did send their kids to the UK at year 9, if I’ve any. I was an enjoyer and will let my kids do the same. Ofc there’re bullying and racism in some colleges b…

I really appreciate having lived in China for the early part of my life, as that truly opened my horizon on things, shaping my values, beliefs, world views, etc., despite the attacks from Western medi…

I identify equally as Chinese American and Asian American. Asian because I do feel a sense of connection to other Asian Americans regardless of ethnicity, but also Chinese because there are aspects of…

I think you’ve been conditioned and absorbed too much of the anti-China narrative, which you need to spit out and rehabilitate from. Take a break from the news or the internet for a bit if necessary…

At least the Chinese are greater than the Romans.

Yep, as someone of Vietnamese descent, the main Asian representation growing up was pretty much all Chinese- Bruce Lee was before my time but known, then there's Jackie Chan, Connie Chung, ~~Kristi Ya…

>None of my Chinese identity and my pride in it has to do with the Chinese government, just as none of my American identity feels tied to Trump or the current American federal government. A lot of Ame…

Anyone know what the Chinese spelling of her name is? It's not up on Wikipedia. Dare I ask if this is one of those cases where it is unknown due to illiteracy and poverty in early life?

So at that time there is surprisingly a lack of historical documentation from the Chinese perspectives. Whilst no doubt racism may have played a part but even taking that into consideration there may…

I think it’s fine to have personal preferences but it becomes offensive when someone presents their personal opinion as an objective fact. “I prefer the sounds of Japanese to Chinese” is fine; “the Ch…

This is easily the best answer I’ve seen that is pretty neutral in stance. A lot of my friends and I grew up watching anime, and for the most part, a massive chunk of us have not been exposed to Chin…

It's doesn't have to be one or the other :) We can have both budget and fine dining chinse cuisine. >younger people with new conceptual ideas aren't joining the Chinese restaurant industry That's no…

Chinese restaurants? Anecdotally, I see the chinese chains restaurants setting up in places where Chinese people (mainland immigrants) mostly live, and shop.  For the high end Chinese restaurants chai…

I mean it depends in what context ? Are you talking about in laws or are you talking about my about co workers? Or friends There is a balance. America is more of melting pot vs Canada. The Chinese C…

When I lived in Vancouver BC for 8 yrs., it made me wince whenever I biked by a downtown casino, I would be a lineup that seemed to have alot of Asians to enter in there. It's infuriating the long…

100% I don't get too upset at these occasional posts about people wanting to escape the US for supposed greener pastures of their ancestral country because I attribute a lot of this to youth and naiv…

At work do it the American way. With family do it the Chinese way. Friends - depends on whether they are Americanized or Chinese but same logic!

Also went to Yingtao, went into it expecting Chinese food, but got western fine dining with some Chinese elements. It was disappointing that a Chinese fine dining place couldn’t get the Chinese part r…

I'm Taishanese on both my mom and dad's side. My mom is from the Mainland and dad grew up in HK. While I was growing up, Canto was spoken in the household and for a while was the lingua franca diale…

I’m an ABC, and my parents only spoke Cantonese to me growing up as they were from HK. But they made me attend Mandarin classes on Saturdays when I was a kid. So I know a mesh of conversation Cantones…

You've got wrong numbers. Those 2019 NCD-RisC numbers are from the Lancet, and they are all estimations based on a mathematical model based on the scale of previous height increases, and not actual he…
