They are still too lazy to make their own calendars with it, so they just choose to plagiarize from MODERN Chinese and bullying these Chinese by depriving their right to name their own holiday Problem easily solved if they just get their own calendar and name their new year with the name they want, and leave the Chinese holiday alone.

@iheartcryptoverse2857 Unfortunately, it was the only commodity European traders could use. The Qi'ing Dynasty made it illegal to sell or barter imported goods to Chinese consumers, which made it very difficult for European merchants to make a profit off the goods they were sending off to their home countries. But Opium was tolerated by the Qi'ing because their Han Chinese subjects became addicted to it, and thus less prone to protesting or rebelling their rule. It was the Dutch that began importing the stuff in the mid 18th century from India, and other European traders followed suit. But the British started glutting Chinese markets with Opium in the early 19th century to pay for massive quantities of tea, and this led the Qi'ing and Britain to the First Opium War.

The more I think about it, I realized that while growing up in Asian-American communities, a lot of the Chinese culture have been taught by Taiwanese and mainlanders that fled the mainland decades ago; and there's been good reasons for that one. In Chinese schools, teachers are mostly Taiwanese and so are the textbooks they usually use, and most courses offered were in traditional script, not simplified. Even in grade school, the "non CCP" versions were taught but I'm pretty sure that's because of heavy local Asian-American influence so teachers can't just bullshit as hard. I can't say much on electives offered in high school as I thought taking it would just mean a waste of time, but that may have been a different story especially with how the AP curriculum was laid out. Funny because I've never heard of the term "Spring Festival" in neither English nor Chinese until just last year watching other KZfaqrs exposing the CCP. And I was born in Taiwan and moved to the US and grew up in Asian-American communities; nobody calls it that shit. Main point being, I'm so glad I've never heard of most of the CCP propaganda bullshit while growing up other than the color red part and not normalizing calling it **Lunar** New Year, but I probably may have loosely remembered that red wasn't the only color Chinese culture was known for. Too bad I can't say the same now that there are more younger, brainwashed mainlanders coming over to the US.

Fr. God damn everything is just so badly researched in here. It hurts as a Taiwanese. For instance, the Spring Holiday thing is factually incorrect. The word popped in and out of existence in Chinese history, and it was Yuan ShiKai during 北伐時期 right after the ROC was founded that he first officially started using it. It then got adopted by the CCP officially in 1949. Just because I hate CCP doesn’t mean everything they did is demonisable. Simplified Chinese was technically taken from old Chinese cursive made into proper writing, but just because it came from the CCP doesn’t mean I should hate it with every inch of my heart.

One of my favourite books on the subject is Red China Blues: My Long March from Mao to Now is a 1996 book by Chinese-Canadian journalist Jan Wong. Wong describes how the youthful passion for left-wing and socialist politics drew her to participate in the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Speaking little Chinese, she became one of the first Westerners to enroll in Beijing University in 1972. However, her idealism did not survive the harsh realities and hypocrisy she saw in the China of the 1970s, and she abandoned her support of Maoism.

The cultural revolution was terrible. Even aside from the killings and social violence, the formerly wealthy were viciously persecuted. I had a friend from a formerly wealthy family in China. They had to live in a single room of their old house. The Red Guard came through twice and stole everything they had. My friend wanted very badly as a 9 or 10 year old to take a special art class at school, but was told she was ineligible for being from a "bad family." She was frequently bullied by the other kids, but the teachers wouldn't do anything to help. Once she was playing alone in the school yard, and someone above dropped a window frame on her head, seriously injuring her. Her family was "sent down to the land" at one point to work on a collective farm. Her mother's milk dried up from the stress, and her brother became learning disabled because he didn't get enough nutrition at the critical early stages of brain formation. Her entire life in China was like this until she immigrated to the US on a student visa (this was the 80s, so she didn't get any cash card or other help, and had to pay her own way through college at non-resident tuition.). Naturally, she's not too fond of Mao or Xi. I doubt Gen Z today would be so in love with leftism if they had more experience with living in a communist country.

China has to build real alliances to even contemplate surpassing the United States. The world, America included, is content to take from China, but even their immediate neighbors which are also communist don't want to allign too closely with China. Alliances are built upon trust, and it takes time to build trust. You need to want a relationship based off trust, and China wants to be a hegemon. Their desire disqualifies them from earning the trust of their potential allies.

Well, in Vietnam, it's TET, and there was a bit of excitement for the TET holiday in 1968; things didn't fare well for the Viet Cong or the NVA, for that matter. But Walter just lied as usual. So here in 2024, Vietnam has become pretty much an ally of the United States once again. I find it funny that a Communist Country is seeking defacto protection from another Communist Country by seeking out Uncle Samuel. Never mind that Vietnam has become a major trading nation with the United States; one of these days, I am going to wake up and Ho Chi Minh City is Saigon once again. On the other hand, Huy Fong Sriracha has all but disappeared; I am not happy about that. All I want for TET is to have my hot sauce of choice back and in good supply!

TET is still the biggest holiday in Vietnam and the Yellow flag with three red stripes still flies high in the US although it is still not OK in Vietnam.

Not all Lunar Calendar are the same. Thailand has its own Lunar Calendar System which is not the same as Chinese one, and I believe there should be more systems out there. I understand the need for some countires to get rid of the word "Chinese" for obvious reason, but the fact is they inherited Chinese calendar system at some point in the past and is basically the same system. So, at least in places that has their own Lunar Calendar, the term Chinese New Year made more sense.

Close - if you listen between the lines, the Lunar New Year traditionally included WISHES for a prosperous spring. In an agrarian society that period between winter and spring is the leanest of the year, hoping you have enough food saved up to last through planting and waiting for the new crops to grow to edible size and ripeness. So in the second sense you're probably hoping you'll make it until spring 😨

One minor correction about the color red for lunar new year (Taiwanese here). Red, in the olden days, was not an easy color to get, especially for fabric. That might be one of the reasons why you don't see a lot of red in paintings of people's clothing back then. As a kid in Taiwan, we would wear red for LNY. So whether or not the CCP tried to associate red with LNY, I don't know. But I can say that red was already a color for celebration and for new years prior to the CCP trying to associate it with LNY. Basically, if they tried to associate red with LNY, it would be like spitting into the ocean.

Chinese new year is called Chinese new year... because it's Chinese new year. Nobody's stopping you from saying "Korean new year" or "Vietnamese new year". Why tf should Chinese people have to call it "lunar new year". "Chinese" is not just anything involved with PRC. It also refers to Chinese influences in culture not just exclusive to China but outside of it, as well. Such as the word "kanji/hanja" (Han characters), gofuku (Wu clothing), etc.. South China Sea is probably called that due to China being the largest country in the vicinity of that region. It does not automatically mean that all of it should belong to China. PRC also isn't the only "China". "Spring festival" was a term used since the era of the Chinese republic. And if you know anything about the KMT, they were the ones actively seeking out the communist sympathizers to kill.

Ruler and nobleman (Goguryeo , Baekje, Silla , Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..): Chinese local officials and nobles (royal members, monks, scholars, soldiers, architects, technicians, and their families ...). They are Chinese (Han) and their descendants born in the local area. They have always wore China in China costumes. They speak Chinese language (official and Han dialect) and Chinese characters. They are Chinese officials and represent the Chinese emperor's governance of the ancient Korean Peninsula (朝鮮). Local Chinese officials (Chaoxian king朝鮮王) and Chinese nobles in ancient Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮-Chinese territory). They all Chinese clothes (hanfu), headdress (hat and crown), silk cloth (including embroidery), soldiers (such as: defensive clothing, horses). Weapons (including cannons), Chinese literature books (including Chinese history, Taoism Buddhism), Chinese special architectural materials (including palaces and design paintings). Food materials (Chinese food and Chinese royal food), wooden wheels used, large military ships, etc. are made from other cities in China). Among them, the Chinese royal's (Chaoxian king /officials and nobles) Hanfu comes from Chinese han clothes, opera clothing, and hat crown headwear. Therefore, the fabric on the clothes is high -level. There are a large number of Chinese official dragon patterns and various traditional Chinese patterns (including Chinese characters) on the clothes. 2. Civilians and slaves (Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..only appeared in history after the 13th century): Civilians and slaves are indigenous Koreans (White Clothes Ethnic白衣民族). They speak Korean language. Long -term banned learning and use of Chinese characters 漢字(except a few descendants of mixed with Chinese people). Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. In ancient times, this was a beheading and destroyer. * Chinese patterns and Dragon's totem represents the symbol of the ancient Chinese and Chinese power. Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. Only the Chinese royal family and senior officers can use it. If the "White clothes Ethnic 白衣民族" (today's ancestors of Koreans) use the pattern of dragon and use Chinese characters. They will destroy the tribe and beheaded. Korean characters韓字 are text used by slaves. Ancient Korean can only use Korean characters (after the 15th century. Chinese officials - Chaoxian king and Chinese scholars who settled on the Chaoxian朝鮮 . Chinese officials use Chinese characters and Korean language to create "Korean characters韓字 ".) for slaves. These low Korean soldiers are used to protect the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島(Chinese territory) to prevent Japanese pirates from invasion. In ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 ) does not have any technologies and processes such as metal , Bend the wood and dye embroidery patterns. Most Korean men became low -level soldiers in the Chinese army (under the command of Chinese officers). There is no armor. Korean only wear pure white clothes and korean women's clothing is exposed nipples (Hanbok - Features of traditional Korean clothes). All Korean women use their heads to move anything (similar to other primitive tribal culture). Korean houses are cottage built with grass (only Chinese can live in Chinese palaces and temples). Korean people earn food in the market concentrated on exchanging items. They do not have any coins and any metal things. South Korea's national culture and tools for use are very primitive. Writing history is the tradition and habit of the ancient Chinese. The history of the ancient Korean Peninsula was written by classical Chinese. This was read for the Chinese and must be approved for the Chinese emperor. This is a record and governance story of Chinese officials and nobles on the ancient Korean Peninsula.

After the collapse of Qing Dynasty, Republic of China started to adopt western calendar. At first, Yuan Shikai wanted to remove Chinese New Year and force citizens to adopt Western New Year instead. But he had faced a lot of resistance from the public. So, he decided to keep the Chinese New Year but renamed it as "Spring Festival".

Also they didn't replace the dragon Manchu Ching flag, they replaced either the historical 7 stripe ROC flag or the Blue Sun flag that is currently representing Taiwan

I think you have much better job to do instead of trying to spread lies and propaganda misinformation on others thousands of year’s festival for their family members in the whole country. It’s a nasty thing to doing jobs like that!!!!!

Hey Chris and co! I was watching a Lei show and someone asked if in the chat if she had been on Chinese Uncensored, She replied with words to the effect that she wouldn't mind being on your show. How about it, guys!

So it's kinda similar what Americans did to Christmas or any other Christian holiday.

So there’s an atheist, communist regime that’s stripped the spirituality from a tradition and your response is “it’s no better than what the Americans do”..? Can u even link what the 2 countries have done that’s similar to each other?

That's rich! Gotta say that Christians did a number on Christmas by deciding it should be celebrated on the day of large pagan celebrations instead of in the spring/summer.....when he was most likely born. December 25th was the festival for Saturnalia. Julius I decided it was also the birth of Christ. It was no coincidence. It was purposeful manipulation. The idea of the Christmas tree, mistletoe, and reindeer all came from Scandinavian and Germanic peoples Yule celebrations. St. Nicholas (Santa) was a real person. A Christian. A saint. Giving presents on Christmas stems from a story where St. Nicholas paid the debt of a family in order to keep the three daughters out of prostitution. Perhaps it didn't escape your attention that none of this has anything to do with Americans. Either your education has failed you completely, or you just hate Americans and blame them for everything without cause. Which is it? Are you ignorant or just bitter angry person.

China learned 0 from Japan. Japan, China and other South East Asian countries were alike in the 19th century. You know, closed borders, limited trading with the outside world, limited knowledge about the outside world, with the intellectuals gnawing on old books and philosophies written hundred of years ago, basically an echo chamber before echo chambering was cool. Then came Emperor Meiji and Japan reinvented itself into an industrial and military power, and you would have thought China would have learned something when the imperial Japan navy kicked their asses in the Sino-Japanese war, and imperial Russia afterward. You would have thought that China would have realized that yeah, all of these humiliation happened because of ourselves, and our backward way of governing. But no. China never blamed itself, the one that let the oppressors in in the first place. They learned nothing.
