Chinese culture is hard to understand I am half taiwanese. I consider taiwan trade vs immigration. I think Chinese culture is cool

​@@biker944 It is easier to immigrate to Taiwan, China than to mainland China. In order to immigrate to mainland China, many people choose to immigrate to Taiwan, China first, and then wait for the reunification of the two sides to officially become Chinese nationals. Chinese culture follows Confucian philosophy at the level of the relationship between people and society, but it follows Taoist philosophy at the level of individual inner spirituality. Danah Zohar: Chinese thinkers had been thinking quantum thoughts thousands of years ago kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecWVrZmL3teXYqM.html

most Asian countries are vassal states except China. :P

Why does the ASian country have to be accepted by Western standard though? YOu have your own identity. USE IT and BE PROUD! Not everything have to abide to Western culture or standard.

As I always tell people, Kpop and Kdrama got big in the west is because they are allowed to get big in the west. If one day South Korea stops aligning themselves with west then they will be the next 80s Japan or 2020s China, ex: getting media attacks left and right.

From a easterner on the net I found. Everything. When they don’t understand themselves (in the west) how could the west with over 500 years of living amongst their colonies in the east understand the east at all? They know very little because they colonised other nations for their own benefit and had no real policies of integration or educating themselves other than to plunder and destroy the east. Their attitudes towards the east, their relations with the east and their continued refusal to acknowledge their mistakes in the east supports the contention they had no intention of understanding the east then as they have no intention of understanding it now. They would find it easier that the east and easterners behave like them to make up for their ignorance. Orientalism can be defined as how Western societies perceive Eastern societies, typically in an inferior light. This includes the fetishization, obsession, and eroticization of the cultures and people of the East, or what is and was perceived as “the Orient” historically by Westerners. Present in photography, in literature, in film, and in culture, orientalism is in ways the lifeblood that sustains the social relations and politics between people of the so-called “Eastern” and “Western” worlds. Orientalism is the backbone of western society, in that many aspects of it and of its culture were directly appropriated and stolen from the East. The West was built with Eastern tears.

And if I, as a white person, live in China, will I be treated the same as a Han Chinese? Will I be able to join the Chinese Communist Party?

Eastern civilization is just as ethnocentric as Western civilization, if not more so, as they're not as welcoming of foreign people and cultures with how homogeneous their countries are, are they? I mean, it's not like multiculturalism springs to mind when people think of Asia.

Dumbest comment here.

They're not embarassed. They have to pretend not to be chinese or they cannot be a part of NATO countries societies. I have to pretend to be korean at work to avoid blatant racism, exclusion, and bullying. I also have to pretend not to be chinese to have sex. You have no idea.

That title should be shared with the Persians to be frank.... another "uncool" ethnicity in the west....

@@manullimis it tho never knew that

@@manullim Persians, Arabs, Pakistanis and Russians are all not very popular in the west. Coincidentally their origin countries all have friendly relations with China.

If we tell others that we are Chinese, people usually give negative responses to us because of the anti-china propaganda in the West.

This is a big one. Also if you are Chinese-American you are expected to be totally loyal to the US even if people treat you like shit. The gaslighting always comes about how rich Chinese/Asian people are, even when the person telling you this shit owns their home, and you're renting.

Damn

My experience with being confronted with and being associated with Communist China depends on cultural isolation and if one is in a hostile ethnocentric community. Last time it occurred to me was in the fall 2022 at Washington DC Metrorail station in Maryland while waiting for a bus - an old fat and short white man yelled at me to go back to China for about five to ten minutes. Another younger white guy interceded to protect the elderly racist who was yelling at the top of his lungs. Racism isn't a rational or reasonable behavior so asking him to stop would be a waste of time. However, the screaming racist did not pose a physical threat and knocking out the racist to make him shut up could be seen as an overreaction on my part.

Historic anti-Chinese racism in the US, coupled with the revival of McCarthyism and US domestic/global funding of media to bash China has succeeded in its intention to spread self-hate among Chinese in the west

CCP Crimes? No big deal compared to the pro-izreal US Crimes.

Ignorance sure is bliss

Knowledge is bliss in my way of thinking.

i don't think it's a good idea to stop teaching the second generation immigrant to speak Chinese, cuz it's always better to be able to speak one more language😂

As a European American, I feel that the Fungbros should show more upside of the Chinese diaspora, especially Chinese American subcultures and Singapore plus Chinese diasporic enclaves in East Asia. Unfortunately because of the current autocratic regime in China, most KZfaqrs will be too paranoid to appreciate the beauty of the Han and Tang dynasties, etc.

I don't think David is going to go for that. Every vid I seen he seems to have a hate boner for China, and a weird hyping up of white guys as if it's fair and balanced. Most crazy thing was when he was saying on average white dudes look better as an objective fact in a recent vid to this one. I mean even in this vid he's trying to say colonialism good actually cuz it brought Macau and HK "forward". Idk if he's doing it as character or if he genuinely believes this.

This is just not possible. For the starter China bashing is an entire industry on KZfaq. Hating China is a pastime for many China hating racists. McCarthyism and red scare are still alive and well. MSM and government do negative news about China non-stop. China is openly labelled as an enemy and a threat to the western world. Things will only get worse from here. We will be lucky to avoid a world war 3.

@@dylanblack3279 Nothing to do with what regime china has. It's the US propaganda machine that works and matters. KZfaq has no problem with the US/izreal/Saudi regime who have done more harm to the world.

@@dylanblack3279lol. The "autocratic regime" of China serves their people far better than all of your governments in the EU, including the EU itself.😂

I'd like to see if someone say to you "woy Cinaa" in indonesia. if you angry that mean you ashamed being Chinese hahaha

It probably also helps that Indonesians are generally friendlier to China compared to people in some other Southeast Asian countries.

@@jan1an Friendlier? Umm… genocide and riots targeting Chinese people? The last big Indonesian “kill the Chinese” event happened within the lifetime of people in their early 30s.

@@Alasterius41 Honestly, Chinese in Indonesia and Malaysia, in these regions are much complicated that no one outside Asia will ever fully understand.....

@@darrishng7674 Chinese in Indonesia is also very different from Chinese in Malaysia. Systemic ‘racism’ against the Chinese is ingrained within the policies of Malaysia (even though they call it a ‘Malay-first’ policy) - not so much in Indonesia national policy-wise, but the potential for persecution is much higher for Chinese Indonesians because despite talk of equality in the national constitution, Chinese Indonesians always end up being the scapegoats when things go badly in Indonesia - then that is when the people will actively go after the Chinese: raping, killing, destroying…. In Malaysia, so long as you accept that you’ll be excluded from privileges and benefits that majority of Malaysians receive simply because of your race, you’re pretty much left alone to build your own lives in peace.

😂😂😂

You must be a Sith lord

Are you in Ontario? Lets link up

Because of western media portray China so badly. A lot of asian started developing self hate.

This is the most empty version of showing pride for one culture. You didn’t provide anything virtuous or honorable about your culture, you just listed descriptions. Like learn to find things that you would be proud of about your culture that is salient and have some weight. Work on vocabulary to lift up your culture, there wasn’t much you’ve said that would make me think “dang being Chinese is cool, or honorable, or virtuous, or important”.

China doesn't have 10 thousand years of civilization 😂

They are BRAINWASHED. Also they are childish for being ashamed. What's so uncool about being Chinese?

​​@@henrytep8884China is not trying be a world policeman, doing regime changes and trying to start WWIII the way the US and its allies are doing. Is trying to maintain world peace virtuous enough for you?

Haha you mean Chinese are the biggest copycats in the world? Copied Korean cultures for 5000 yrs.

​@@migukin7492Lol, Korea was a thing 5000 years ago? The only thing that I recall is that both Korea and Japan copied a lot of Chinese culture and traditions, writing, food, heck even their traditional clothing, the Hanbok and Kimono are heavily inspired by different Hanfu styles throughout the dynasties

Eternal empire

@@johndoe-db1ku look at Chinese today. Biggest copycats with full of inferiority complex. That’s why they always fabricate and distort history.

@@migukin7492 I can tell you are a South Korean

That's true when China opened up the country Koreans expected much from them. But only disappointment left.

Probably just because of kung fu and Chinese food.... Cultural export from Hong Kong seems to be pretty good back then. Even in South Korea, HK movies had gained some popularity back in those days. And in America you got Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. And later on you have Jet Li in the 2000s although he's mainland Chinese carrying on that kung fu export legacy. Most ppl back then in the US were probably like "wtf is a Korean" or that the only thing they're thinking of was the Korean War. And South Korea still kind of in its dictatorship phase before the 90s. But they really started upping their cultural export game around the turn of the millennium and it became noticeable in the US/Canada/etc. around the early 2010s.

Why did your parents adopt an Asian baby and not celebrate your culture? Seems abusive.

@@rickyayyI heard that in the past, white adoptive parents were advised to raise your kid colorblind. You know the thinking …I don’t see color. I see a person. You’re American, we’re family. We love you. That’s it. It’s like If you point out how someone is different, they’ll feel self conscious. So don’t do it. Today, the thinking when it comes to transnational adoption is totally different. They realized it was harmful to ignore the child’s heritage. I can see how sometimes you just want a child. And you just raise them American. Now adoptive parents have the added responsibility to learn, teach and embrace Asian culture or Black or Hispanic heritage cultures to support the child and develop a healthy sense if identity.

​@@cassiopeia309You are correct

Hey buddy, you are a cool person, don't let others tell you what you are.

Exactly because lifting 1000's of people out of poverty isn't considered "cool" because its not based on music, celebrity or pop culture. Take pop culture aside being Chinese is something to be incredibly proud of as one of the giants in the world who don't need to bow to the West.

Don't think what the Russian gov did was wrong at all, especially when compared to the US/izreal reg!mes.

I was introduced to the erhu from listening to the avatar soundtrack as a kid and it is my favorite instrument

It’s actually going to be athletics. Boxing, basketball, mma. Musical instruments aren’t relatable to the rest of the world and we can find excellent examples of Chinese athletes in each sport. Sports is the way for Chinese to build incredible influence.

I was only in mainland China for six months in 2018. The infighting may have eluded me, especially as I was not fluent in Mandarin beyond possibly HSK1.

I'm asian and I honestly didn't know about Hmong people until a couple years ago

@@maisondav1d Yea, we’re more known now than back then but it’s still up in the air with most people lol We’re basically undocumented Vietnam war refugees that aided the U.S and fled from communism after the fall. You likely won’t find it in history books though, at least the ones I read in grade school.

No surprise. Out of jealousy and panic they can blame anyone. 30 years ago it was Japan and now it's China. By the way, they also blame Mexico, Russia and many other countries.

Unfortunately the last part is mostly because they have copied western brands because they used to work for those companies. Then some western companies sued the look a like brands plus many companies are forced to report to CCP

Lol hanfu is recently made jackshit. Not even a tradition lol pigtail of qing is real chinese tradition

Yeah, china is portrayed really negative in the Western MSM due to geopolitical factors. But outside of the West, you will find out that the US has a much worse reputation.

They don't kowtow to the USA. They would prefer liberal democracy over autocracy. If India was as powerful as China or the USA, they would build stronger ties with India.

This is a tired trope. Stop embarrassing yourself.

@@HApqzr77 keep getting cucked

True

Not happening…. A few days ago I just got my queue cut by a young mainland Chinese man. Gives me the bad impression about Chinese in general. They just don’t follow normal social norms as it’s not their norm to queue up properly so they exhibit those “normal behaviours” they do in China in other countries and show us their culture. 😂

I noticed that about some of my Hmong friends. I remember talking about 23andMe and one of them felt proud that his sister had Han blood.

this is not really a common sentiment in mainland Vietnam though lol.

Nah, if you have small eyes (mắt hí) they will say you have Chinese blood or something and if your skin is darker than Vietnamese they will associate you with khmer or some other minority group. Kinh (my people) majority are very racist and discriminatingly against most ethnic minorities including Hoa (Chinese-Vietnamese)

@@icedragon7396Mostly because of political correctness, mainland Vietnamese admires Chinese a lot and a lot of Vietnamese girls want to marry Chinese men.

Or there is nothing to be proud of lol when they taunt your non Asian friends and assume they are poor and they tell the whole school your parents diss their class lolol and your Chinese parents aren’t even high class

@@quincy189 If you have Asians like that in your school that means you are attending sh**hole school.

It was very hard for Chinese Americans in 2020 to the current day.

Tell people you’re from Middle Kingdom our rightful name not accepting China or Chinese when non Chinese say it it’s almost like an insult or mockery to us. Our rightful name is Middle Kingdom nobody in China calls themselves Chinese. Chinese is a made up word that came from the Portuguese how we gona just accept a word they made up to basically mock us. Rightful title is Middle Kingdom. People from Middle Kingdom I would love to see trump try to say China to mock us while the crowd laughs with him when he says “China” in a funny way literally trying to mock and belittle us the rightful name is middle kingdom 中国 we are center of the world. Fucking United Kingdom name themselves United Kingdom when their original name is Albion. Fcking these albinos call themselves Great Britain after and than United Kingdom as if they some royalties with rich history when Chinese history is richer and older than them and we let the fucking Portuguese change our name from Middle Kingdom to fucking Chinese something that sounds ridiculous and funny. Every Chinese should take offense to being called Chinese like the N word cause we don’t call ourselves that in our Chinese language it’s Middle Kingdom and rest of the world needs to acknowledge. When trump says “Middle Kingdom” instead of “China” I would like to see who laughs and giggle. The word Middle Kingdom has power behind it and history and is seen as royalty not some made up Portuguese word China that literally sounds like a taunt or mockery

Fake news

Even from this comment you made, i can clearly see you are unconsciously ashamed. And you said something about Chinese from china. But most Chinese from china I've met said to me that the US has a much worse reputation worldwide.

And the last sentence "if anything we're the ones who are promoting Chinese food to the WHITE folks and getting them...", don't you feel that it's kind of weird? A proud group/race doesn't even need to expose their food by deliberately Promoting, especially in the office. And more interestingly you ONLY mention White folks, which seems to have ignored so many other non-chinese people in a automatically unconscious way.

so many self hatred thanks to the media fxxk.

that's only around other asians. around other races they are not proud to state they are chinese. especially not around caucasians

very well put. chinese are akin to the anglo saxons of asia

Who cares? The Chinese also in the West are the group of Asian whose threats the worse than all other Asian groups.

china is only non white , non anglo saxons countries and cannot be tolerated to be superpower.

The current China isn't the real or good representation of Chinese (Taiwan is on another topic).. it's a evil cult at the very top level of the government. As a Hokkien abc myself, I don't down play on being Chinese, but I definitely exclude myself apart from China and its government

I don't think any American's care about China prospering, it's more of the rhetoric that they have been pushing lately. A lot of it is due to Xi Xinping and his push for more authoritarianism and threats against America. I've been following Chinese news for a long time and it got a lot worst when Xi got in power.

Global Chinese, this prosperous age is as you wish! Global Chinese, YOU MUST HAVE CHINESE CULTURAL CONFIDENCE!

​​@@blockraven22and what might that be? He came to power under anti corruption campaign and has reduced corruption by a lot, as well as a lot more regulation. He has also taken China to the global stage in terms of soft power (China has a lot of soft power outside of the western influence, Brics, Africa, etc). Under his reign, a lot more has been invested into Chinese local companies to the point where there's now several Chinese companies that can trade blow to blow on the world stage like BYD, etc. I'm not saying that everything he does is correct and that he can't control everything, but how is that a negative?

🤣 we see Taiwanese guys as fem sissies, com'on you should have known that

The United States is still a country where racial discrimination exists, at least when it comes to Chinese people. America spends 500 million tax dollars a year spreading negative news about China. They make up fake news, they pay foreign news channels to demonize china and their own people don't know what is true and what is propaganda. （Imagine the Chinese spend $500,000,000 on building infrastructure, fixing the infrastructure, helping homeless people, and providing medical care to the average person.） Don't try to see the truth about China from the mainstream media in the United States and Europe. They don't even dare not broadcast the entire process of the opening ceremony of the "Beijing Winter Olympics China 2020", the opening ceremony of the "31st World University Games Chengdu 2023", and "19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022" to the Western world. They are all constantly in a state of shame and sensitive inferiority, trying to blindfold you to cover up the facts and not let people in the Western world know the truth about China.
