Return of the diaspora - A personal experience

 

The early powerless China during the era of foreign invasion and under 毛泽东主席 was so poverty-stricken that there was no seeing of light at the end of the tunnel.  Chaos and starvation were rampant...  All that were left for the badly battered China was humiliation and a shattered country without money to pick up the pieces.  Impoverished Chinese set sail for the far horizons literally seeking for survival rather than fortunes.

I know this distressing dark chapter in history including the Japanese occupation of Singapore because they were passed down to me by my parents many times over.  I may be born many years later after these catastrophic events, it however did not give me a sense of ignorant to bypass such horrendous human cruelty.  The pages of precious story will forever ingrained in me till eternity.  The values instilled in me were strong foundations to build my self-confidence to able to appreciate and feel proud of my identity.  To many, it's strange that I have this weird yearning to search for my roots (寻根) and to study Chinese in China.  Perhaps it is wistful thinking but it remains my heart's greatest desire.

Having said that, I have completely failed to comprehend why there are so many Chinese desperately rushing to embrace and worship white foreigners by forsaking their ethnic identity.  They have lost their sense of identity and have no confidence about themselves.  Feel ashamed about their roots, not interested to know about their forefathers.  They cast away their Chinese name and proudly adopt Western or European names, dye their hairs and what else?...  I am not surprised they must be dying to expunge their DNA too.  I describe such group of people as shameless and pathetic 崇洋媚外 (chóng yáng mèi wài), 六亲不认 (liù qīn bù rèn), 数典忘祖 (shǔ diǎn wàng zǔ).

Many years back, when I chanced upon your blog, I was surprised to see your romanised Chinese name.  I thought this is a rarity when people generally are abandoning their own name and use alien name to boost their self-esteem.  It's so good to know that there are English speaking people out there like you and Southernglory1 who are feeling proud of their identities and share a keen interest in China.  I wish to thank you and Southernglory1 for the meaningful and well-articulated pieces.

The latest attack on China with the American mafia ganging up with his obeying no substance stooges cause me to think of the 八国联军 invasion of an unprepared China.  But they surely have gravely mistaken today's China..., no longer a hapless and helpless country to be trampled upon at will.  China is like a phoenix rises from the ashes, from strength to strength, constantly scaling new heights and is unquenchable.  The white gangsters are green with jealously, filled with rage and fear but unable to contain the super giant from soaring.  It's time for the dreamers to consign their rusty cannons to the scrapyard, save the previous space of the museum.

伟大的中国再接再厉吧，国外的华人同胞都在为您加油打气。衷心祝中国鹏程万里，前程似锦。(How I wish I could shout “我的祖国”, but it's not appropriate as I was not born in China.)

More and more of the diaspora would be reawakened to reconnect with their roots when they understand where they were originally from and would want to be a part of this ancient Civilisation again.  Redbean

Americans defending Muslim Uyghurs hypocrisy - 500,000 Iraqi chidren death worth it

 

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken caught flak after he praised the legacy of Madeleine Albright, who once appeared to justify the deaths of Iraqi children, saying that she made the country “more respected globally.”

Blinken took to Twitter on Friday to hail Albright, a former US ambassador to the UN and secretary of state under former President Bill Clinton, as a ‘woman of courage’....

His choice of role model struck many as odd. The replies were inundated with the clip of Albright’s infamous 60 Minutes interview with Lesley Stahl, in which Albright said that the deaths of half a million Iraqi children allegedly due to sanctions was “worth it.”

Well, I believe you're serious. A great choice as a role model!

The above is quoted from RT.

If killing 500,000 Iraqi children is worth it, made America more respected globally, and this woman is now a role model for Blinken, what kind of people do you think the Americans are? Do you really believe they care a damn about the Uyghurs, a Muslim tribe?

How much more American lies and hypocrisies would it take for the unthinking to finally remove their blinkers and see the Americans as what they really are, mass murderers!

Albright called the killing of 500,000 Iraqi children worth it, Hilary Clinton conveniently called them war collateral, not human beans, just numbers. It is not the point blank shooting of 1 or 2 unarmed Syrian boys by Australian mercenaries called soldiers, it is 500,000 children's lives. Ok, Ok, I must qualify, Muslim children, not white American children. Does it matter if it is Muslim children or white American children or black lives?

'Caitlin Johnstone: The entire world should be laughing at America for pretending to care about Muslims in China....

The US president's preaching about human rights in a nation he wants to undermine have never sounded as hollow as when he speaks about the 'oppressed' Muslims of China. Just ask any Muslim-majority country bombed by the US.' Quoted from RT

Chinese diaspora or Indian diaspora - Why?

 The Chinese would never forget the massacres and plundering of their country by the foreign invaders from Europe and also Japan. They ganged up to invade Manchu China and robbed China of its wealth, then the richest country in the world. The war indemnities from the invasion and the wars to sell opium in China bankrupted the Manchu Dynasty. They had no more funds to run the country as it was before and had to impose heavy taxes on the already poor citizens hit by wars, famines and droughts. There was literary nothing left in China and decent work was non existence. 

Then came the Japanese invaders attempting to colonise the whole of China, a second phase of massacres and looting and plundering. More unequal treaties, more land carved away by the Japanese, including the Ryukyu island chain of today's Okinawa, Diaoyu Islands and Taiwan.

When the Japanese were finally driven out of China, there was no economy to talk about in China. A hundred years of foreign domination, semi colonisation and wars depleted everything in the Chinese govt's treasury, depleted the soul of the Chinese citizenry.  China was robbed of every penny in the Treasury, in the whole country, and still not enough, still in debt to the invaders. China was again at Year 0, so to speak, to start everything from nothing in 1949. 

The outflow of Chinese gathered speed, from the 19th Century to the early 20th Century. There was no industry of reasonable scale to provide employment for the masses of impoverished Chinese, actually hardly any industry existed other than agriculture, handicraft and small traders. The hungry masses had to seek a living elsewhere. The British started by providing indenture labour to Malaya to provide coolie manpower in the rubber plantations and tin mining as well as coolies for the ports. Many left for the Americas and Australia to work in the gold mines, many were cheated and sold as semi slave workers.

China was like the proverbial rich village landlord being robbed and killed by the gangsters or bandits coming down from the hills. The people, the children of the landlord became poor orphans. Some died, some ran away, and a few were kept by the bandits as workers. When the children grew up, many forgot that the rich landlords were the bandits that killed their parents and stole their homes and wealth that forced them to flee their homeland. Those that were given better jobs by the bandits turned landlords were grateful to their benefactors and willingly served their new masters.  They forgot that the wealth of the bandit landlords were theirs in the first place and they were serving the murderers of their parents. These are the Chinese diaspora of today, descendants of a very poor and broken China.

Some of the children worked their way to rebuild their lives and their fortune. They grew up in the hard way and not forgetting how it all began and the history behind their sad past. Now they are strong enough to want back the wealth and properties stolen from their parents by the bandit landlords. The latter accused them of being assertive and aggressive and spread lies about their 'bad' behaviour, to want to live a better life and to want to take back what were stolen from their parents. 

Some of the diaspora could not understand why, did not know why, also sided with the bandit landlords and hate their forgotten brothers for being assertive and demanding the return of their assets and land. Some of these Chinese diaspora even despised their long lost brothers thinking that they are overbearing and over reaching, unreasonable, to want to seize the wealth of the bandit landlords that gave them good jobs and a good life, a life better than their long lost kins.

This is the tragic story of the Chinese diaspora, acknowledging the thiefs and murderers as their benefactors without knowing why they became the diaspora, eking a living in far off land, away from their impoverished country of origin. They think, live and act like they are part of the bandit landlords and yes, they hate their lost long kins.

They even could not see that the bandit landlords are getting poorer with no free wealth and properties to rob to feed their good life. They think their good life, a given to them by their gracious and generous bandit landlords would continue forever. They could not see that their long lost kins have rebuilt their fortunes and would be richer than their bandit landlords and deserved a rightful place under the sun. 

The diaspora have forgotten their roots, their origins and how they became the diaspora, also by courtesy from the good grace of the bandit landlords that killed their parents and stole their wealth and everything from them.  Their parents were like the refugees today running away from their war torn and destroyed homes and countries. When would the diaspora know who they really are and wake up from their fake existence, calling and treating the murderers of their parents as fathers, the bandits that made them poor and had to run away from home, from a place called China?

Xinjiang truth versus lies - A Canadian perspective (English version)

This video is made by a Canadian Indian on the Xinjiang controversy and hypocrisy of the Americans and the West. 12 min.

Genocide in Xinjiang or USA?

 Genocide is a very serious act of violence and oppression against a people. It involves not only the termination of a people from the surface of earth, but also their culture, language, religion and their way of life. The Americans genocided almost 100 million native Americans aka Red Indians in the 300 years of forced occupation of Indian land but today strutting around as the protectors of minorities and accusing China of genocide against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, China. This is not counting the their scorched earth bombing of North Korea, Vietnam and the invasion of Iraq, Libya and many Arab and African states and the killings of hundreds of thousands of Arabs and Muslims. Then there were the many massacres in Australia of aborigines, Red Indians in Canada and many Africans in Africa.

Just look at the words in the American notes, all in English. Not a trace of the original native Americans. This is genocide of the Red Indians to wipe them off and any trace of their existence.

Then look at the Chinese notes, on the back top right corner, the official languages of the 4 minority ethnic groups are included, ie Mongolian, Zhuang, Tibetans and Uyghurs. They are immortalised, preserved as living languages in China, taught in schools and practised by the minority groups, including their religions and way of lives. These are the hard proof of their existence unlike the complete wiped out of Red Indian existence. The Red Indians were forced to convert to Christianity and speak English. Many still stuck in their concentration camps called reservations.  Many had perished under the harsh environment of the concentration camps.

Below are a few pics of the reservations aka concentration camps in the USA when the Red Indians were dumped to live in the wild, at the mercy of mother nature with little help from the American govt. Many parts have no piped water or electricity in the richest country on earth.  The reservations are barren with little life activities and few survivals of the American genocide. No proper surface roads, barely any utility facilities. The reservations/concentration camps were like time stood still for centuries. There were barely any attempt by the white American govt to uplift the quality of life of the few surviving Red Indians, forgotten and left to fend for themselves.

Below are pics of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, a province teeming with life and happy people compare to the Indian reservations in the USA. The population of Uyghurs are several times more than the few Red Indians that are still alive today, with American historical records stating between tens of millions to a hundred million being massacred by the white Americans. They could not agree on the exact number as records were sketchy and the genocides was all over a continent of people.

Who is lying about the genocides in Xinjiang and in the USA? The evil Americans got the gumption to spread the lies that China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs.  Maybe this is the way to divert the attention to their genocide of the Red Indians in the land they stole from the native Americans. As the white men like to say, dead men tell no tales. 

From the pics one can see whether the Red Indians or the Uyghurs are thriving or dying, happy or oppressed.
