@BeijingDai I’d also like to see Sinitic dialects & minority languages strengthened (good for secret communications as Mandarin is globalized). Each province ought pick one Fangyan to incorporate in the curriculum—Hokkien in Fujian, Cantonese in Guangdong. Han in Tibet should learn Tibetan
@BeijingDai Not opposed to English education but I propose diversifying a bit—for ex: Portuguese in Macao, French in Zhanjiang, Russian in Harbin, German in Qingdao, Korean in Liaoning, Thai in Nanning, Bahasa in Sanya, Turkish in Urumqi, Farsi in Hotan, Dutch in Tainan, Tamil in Quanzhou
@CPTLbetsBIG@Prisikelimas@PaulGolding You’re conflating intermarriage statistics of Asian Americans (all ethnicities) with Chinese in China where 99% of women marry Chinese men and of the <1% who marry foreigners—vast majority are Overseas Chinese or East Asians…a minority marries Whites with Blacks a tiny fraction
@Tianxiashunv This is why we must push harder towards an East Asian Union comprised of Reunified Greater China, United Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Mongolia & Myanmar. Despite our historical beefs, we’ve got more in common than differences. With nearly 2 billion, EAU would be the foremost superpower
Buddhists in the Roman Empire. The most concrete evidence is a 2nd-century CE marble statue of the Buddha found at the Red Sea port of Berenike in Roman Egypt, which was carved by a Roman sculptor and dedicated in 248 AD by an Indian named Vasula.
@harukaawake We may have some minor territorial disputes over a few tiny uninhabited islands but neither Chinese nor Koreans have any desire whatsoever to invade or occupy the Japan proper. If we set aside our historical beefs to form a union, it’d be the world’s foremost economic superpower
@harukaawake As a Pan-East Asian supranationalist, I hold deep reverence for Japanese culture and consider Japan to be an integral member of East Asia but it’s hypocritical to fearmonger about hypothetical threats when you’re nation is literally under foreign military occupation for 8 decades
@Democritus1479@Ma_WuKong The Anglo-Zionist-Islamist cabal fund, arm and run media cover for various Salafi jihadist terrorist groups in Central Asia primarily in Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and—until recently—among Uyghurs in Xinjiang. The other nations in the region are too secular or syncretic for Wahhabis
@Ma_WuKong Overall agree with your point here but Asia Minor typically refers to Anatolia (Turkey) and maybe far northern Syria (Alawite Latakia, Kurdish Rojava, Turkmeneli) whereas Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Karakalpakstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan are considered Central Asia
Appreciate the honest Nepalese real journalist!
Nepal—which is half SinoTibetan—is considered a Peripheral East Asian country (along w/Bhutan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines) with great potential if economically and logistically integrated with Sinosphere
@woolyheadblog7 The Beja warriors in eastern Sudan were known to the British Imperial soldiers as ‘Fuzzy-wuzzy’ or ‘Wooly-heads’ so I thought your username was a cryptic reference to the ancient Semi-Hellenized North Cushitic kingdom of Blemmyes https://t.co/5MAEL29PYz https://t.co/dJxxL6SStu
@UGSP2 How do you know she’s even Ethiopian? She don’t look Habesha at all and the flag on her jacket is Rwandan. She’s most likely a Hutu from Rwanda, Burundi or eastern Congo where eating rats/mice is more common than in Ethiopia where it’s virtually unheard of outside the Gambella!

Exceptions can be considered for civilized nationalities/minorities like Persians/Iranians, Turks, Azeris, Armenians, Alawites, Zoroastrians, Yazidis who can apply for longer-term visas (3 months with possible extension) or limited residency in HK for an ultra selective cohort
The last thing East Asia needs is a bunch of Israэli/Jэwish or Arав/мusliм migrants importing their tribal Semitic blood feud. Once we have an East Asian Union(🇨🇳🇯🇵🇰🇵🇰🇷🇻🇳🇲🇳🇲🇲), we can have joint immigration policies that restrict most MENA nationalities to two-week tourism visas
Israelis hurl insults at Gaza protesters in Japan. I believe the Japanese shouldn't take any sides in this conflict and should go about their lives as usual, but these Israelis need to go back home 🤷♂️
@woolyheadblog7 Are you Beja? A Chinese former slave (of the Arab Abbasid Caliphate) turned explorer named Du Huan traveled through Makuria (ancient Christian Nubia) and Blemmyes (Beja-Cushitic kingdom on Red Sea coast) in like the year 800 or 900s. He took notes and eventually returned to China
