| Jan 19 at 2:31 | comment | added | zagrycha | @Will another easy way to see this, is with language. All chinese languages are called as "local variations", when by linguistic standards most of them are different enough to not even be grouped in the same branch of languages. A lot of terminology is set by social or political standards instead of being straight forward (:3」z) | |

| Jan 19 at 1:59 | comment | added | 水巷孑蠻 | @Will, well, think it in this way: mr 孫’s idea is, all ethnic minorities do not have the right to revolutionise, to establish their own nation-state (tibet for tibetan, mongolia for mongul, turkistan for uyghurs, manchuria for manchurian). the “chinese-nation” is invented for this purpose, that, all ethnic minorities abandoned their own identities, and used “chinese-nation” instead. so, the republic could inherit the chinese empire, keep the territory as a whole (not han-chinese’s china, tibetan’s tibet, uyghurs‘s turkistan, . . . etc), and, such republic would be lead by . . . han-chinese 😼 | |
