Hi there, appreciate the video, keep doing~few things to clarify 1.12:24 fake singing, it's refer to the band Mayday for sure , but they are from Taiwan not China. Most of normal Taiwanese will take it offended been called chinese, we are proud to be Taiwanese. Btw, that scandal happened because ccp demand them to do propaganda for ccp in order to influence the young people in Taiwan before 2024 presidential election, but they refused, therefore ccp tried to oppress Mayday by spreading rumors of Mayday fake singing to humiliate them and to make them lose fans in China. 2. 13:12, it refers to a Taiwanese talent Raine Yang who claimed that Taiwanese are so poor to afford seafood, clearly she is in tune with ccp propaganda. 3. 13:18, it also refers to a Taiwanese talent Jam Hsiao who is the descendent of Taiwan aboriginals, he claimed we Taiwanese are brought up by drinking water from Yellow River( known as mother river in China), what's funny is that the aboriginals of Taiwan don't even share the common ancestors with China. And the rest of Taiwanese, we may have ancestors came from China but that's it, we won't think ourselves as Chinese. Will people of the U.S. think themselves as British?

@denkinaga 3 ай бұрын

"And the rest of Taiwanese, we may have ancestors came from China but that's it, we won't think ourselves as Chinese." In my experience, 90% Taiwanese people will be proud of their 5000 years of Chinese heritage and culture. Zhong hua min guo song... BUT that truly depends on the context of conversation. Boils down to, we are Chinese but not communist. And just to add I am talking about young , mid and old age people, and none of them are KMT voters. EDIT, if Taiwanese are not Chinese why do you claim mainland-west Taiwan and Tibet in your constitution?

@zerostyx 3 ай бұрын

Good point! My answer is because our constitution is outdated. It was found when ROC aka Taiwan was still the government of mainland China, and then KMT was defeated by CCP and retreated to Taiwan. The leader of KMT of the time, Chiang Kai-shek, thought he would fight back and take back mainland China, so he wouldn't revise the constitution. As time goes by, taking back mainland China seemed impossible, then why the constitution still remain the same? Obviously, CCP threatens to wage a war between the strait when we try to announce independence, and to revise the constitution of Taiwan equals independence to CCP. We are a small country and they are giant. On the other hand, U.S. would not hope we try to change the status quo between the strait because that's better for every bodies benefit, and we are ally of the States and of the free world, so we should take allies' benefit in consider. Finally I want to quote this "90% Taiwanese people will be proud of their 5000 years of Chinese heritage and culture", well, ten more years ago, maybe so, because after KMT came to Taiwan they tried to brainwashed all Taiwanese we are all Chinese and our text book is all about China history and geography, even more our local Taiwanese language is prohibited to speak in public for a while. However, as you may know the behaviors of Chinese wolf warrior or little pink all over the world, I'd rather say that nowadays 90% Taiwanese people don't want to be mistaken as Chinese from China, it's really embarrassing.

14:18 In Malaysia, we have a group of people who their nationality is Malaysia (truely born and grow up in Malaysia) but they pro-ccp/China just because their ancender from China (the truly the people of the dragon haha), and of course due to the influence of the propaganda on social media such as Tik Tok, We chat and TV Shows. In Malaysia, we call them "中华胶”（literal translation: Chinese glue) and we give them a cute nickname "胶胶”(little glue？😂), Namewee writes it in the lyric. In the English translation, the "Jingoistic" refer to the "little glue". To make it easy to understand, just consider them as Malaysian little pink. I as a Malaysian, I really proud with Namewee.

@brianhsu_hsu 3 ай бұрын

And a little correction. In 3:18 here 666 doesn't refer to lucky number. It's come from that 6 is sound like 「溜」, which means someone is good at something. When it comes to 666 in Simplified Chinese internet culture, it's means compliment someone is awesome. For example, if your favourite FPS game streamer head-shot another player in the game, you could type 666 in the chat to express that you feel he / she do a really good play.

She uses a heavily edited beauty filter and sings these annoying kindergarten songs that go 挖呀挖呀挖 over and over. She blew up online some time last year with thousands of simps (both domestic and foreign) flocking to give her "donations", and of course there were a ton of memes mocking her going around the Chinese speaking internet as well haha

Truly, with all due respect to the courage shown by so many in HK, the best opportunity for HK independence was when the British Navy was still in port. That was the time to protest against the CCP and then the Brits could have backed it up and pushed for independence. In failing to do so, the HK people of the 90s let their children and grandchildren down. But as covid showed, very few people stand up for things when there is the chance of real consequences. No offence intended, I respect what you are saying (free HK) and the real courage (not just my internet courage) that it must take to stand up for these causes.

You’ve done a great job as in helping English speakers understand deeper towards potential meanings of the song. Btw, I texted and suggested Brendan to have a talk with you, as I’m really worried about what may come to him in the near future. You may give him more effective actions to tackle what pink commies may do to him, and this is not what we are able to do. Pls help him at your convenience, thanks heaps!

Buying milk powder in HK is because of the 2008 Chinese milk scandal. Quoted WIKI -- "It was a significant food safety incident in China. The scandal involved Sanlu Group's milk and infant formula along with other food materials and components being adulterated with the chemical melamine, which resulted in kidney stones and other kidney damage in infants." Since then a lot of people from Shenzhen traveled to Hong Kong to buy formula milk every day until the government had to issue a purchase restriction order since mothers in HK could not buy any for their babies. The same happened to Japan and Australia. Basically, it's just teasing that the food quality in China is not safe. All this fake meat, Waste oil for cooking, etc.

Namewee is a genius of the dragon people. The song begins with the playing of Chinese folk instruments and the vocals are accompanied by background music of some Chinese movie song. The lyrics and images are metaphors that cover everything happening inside and outside China. A unique production that combines entertainment and current affairs which could be Included in history textbook.

The milk powder might’ve been a reference to the scandal with the baby milk powder which caused disabilities in children not too long ago. Just a thought.

That can't afford the seafood and love to lie parts thing is a parody of Taiwan actress Rainie Yang. She once said in a China Henan music concert that Henan people love to lie. You can see in the Talent list, there have the "Rainie Zero" name on it.

14:20 - it's a reference to that CRAZY popular viral song by a teacher that taught her students about how to grow a garden and the importance of digging. The song is hella catchy though and technically has a good message.
