With provinces as big as some countries, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to China. Take Fujian for instance. It's almost exactly as big as North Korea but with nearly twice the population, so it could very well be a country of its own. But its not; it's just a small portion of the Chinese nation, and because of that hardly anyone has ever heard of it. How about we change that? Let's spend just a few minutes and talk about the Chinese province of Fujian.

I'm a Fujianese. Taiwan is extremely alike Fujian in both cultures and ethinics. Most of Taiwanese were Descendants of Fujianese who migrated about 500 years ago during Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty of China following Koxinga General (郑成功, also a Fujianese). That's why Taiwanese speaks Hokkien (the southern Fujian dialect). I'm a Fujianese but I speak only Fuzhou(Ningde) dialect (the eastern Fujian dialect). So Taiwan deems to be cultural connected with South Fujian.. Moreover, Taiwan and Fujian are deemed as one single province in the history ruled by Qing Dynasty..That's Min-Tai Province (闽台省。Min(闽): Fujian福建, Tai(台): Taiwan台湾) in Qing dynasty. After the civil war, Fujian has become the first line against Taiwan, so China central government only invested very limited funds to build modern Fujian. But Fujian people works really hard and smart, so Fujian has become one of the most wealthy provinces in China. That's what I'm proud of. But the location of Fujian against China really does harm to Fujian's Province. What's more, Taiwan government kills many Fujian fishermen (kills hundreds of Fujianese. Considering Fujianese Fishermen are justing fishing near 2km from Xiamen of Fujian during Chinese Spring Festival, obliged by the economic downturn, but those fishermen were killed by Taiwanese government and lost their lives, just 2km near Fujian), the Taiwan government even don't considerthe same culture and ethenics between Fujian province and Twaiwan province. This totally hurt Fujianese people and made me really angry..So I really wish the Taiwan problem can be well solved.

Yep exactly, and plus Fujian especially the counties near Fuzhou also contributed to the development of Okinawan Karate and this is attested and recognised by a variety of Okinawan Karate fraternities.

The Austronesian people originated from South China eg Guangdong & Fujian. Before & during the Han Chinese migration from the North, the Austronesians already expanding & migrating to SEA region. For those Austronesians who chosen to stay & didn't migrate out, they assimilated with the Han Chinese & became today Fujianese, Cantonese, etc

Sadly, Fujian is currently the only province where its own people (I am not referring to migrant workers) do not speak its own dialect. You go to Szechwan, most Szechwanese will be able to speak Szechwanese. You go to Guangdong, most Cantonese can speak Cantonese. You go to Hunan, most Hunanese can speak Hunanese. But when you go to Xiamen, many native Southern Min cannot speak Hokkien (Southern Min dialect). When you go to Fuzhou, many native Northern/Eastern Min cannot speak Foochow/Hockchiew (Northern Min dialect). Sad! 😖😥😡

Because the "Republic of China" also known as Taiwan nowadays and the "Peoples Republic of China" also know as China nowadays had a civil war (meaning a war that broke out between their own people). The Peoples Republic of China ended up kicking off the Republic of China from the mainland. After this the Republic of China started a country on the island and named the country "Taiwan "and claimed to be China. "The Peoples Republic of China" however stayed on the mainland and also claimed that they are the real China which is why it says in the video there are 2 china

The ancient name of Fujian is Minyue (Chinese: 閩越) which means Min Viet. In other words, it was part of the ancient Vietnam.

Incorrect. Minyue is totally different from the Baiyue that existed in Guangdong area. Minyue is never a part of ancient Vietnam and Baiyue as well.

“越”is not one nation. But a term similar to“羌”，or “蛮”，a general name for non civilized clans around ancient Han people. That’s why the whole southern part was called “百越”. Which means “hundreds of tribes”. There were no writing system, hence no civilization, no country/kingdom. Most of the lands were then occupied and civilized by Han people. That when they start to use Chinese as their writing system. So you totally made it opposite, vietnam area was a part of China. Civilized by Han people with confusionism. Named “交趾”. Then Vietnam was rebelled and became an independent kingdom. Since it was too far away from Chinese central gov of that time, the next few dynasty just gave up the reclaiming of Vietnam. And Fujian and Guangdom provinces had nothing to do with Vietnam.
