i am not sure if you are aware of it, there are many people in South East Asia and in the Whole of the Middle East who views USA as the real terrorists.Especially to the muslims from Asia, when you ask them on the 911 incident, they really view it as that the american trully deserve it. they are not worth to be pitied or symphatized. They can even say that 911 is peanuts as compared to what the americans has done to others. let us look as USA. their history is short. but perhaps it just might be possible that they are war lovers or maybe not. throughout history, since their existance, how many civil wars to continent wars in the american continent to wars outside of american continent have the americans fought? it is too many ! Especially during the years of president bush, it was the worst ! too many people both within USA and outside of USA dislike him like anything. most likely it is the americans who has bases and soldiers in almost any nations around the world today. which other nation is also like them? very few i would say. which nation in this world gives the general feeling to most people as the most active and war supporter type? the answer is USA. which nation in this world is always fond of showing off their military might and power to the rest of the world? the answer should be obvious. Which nation in this world use military as the first few source and means to warn and threaten any other nation to get what they want instead of peaceful and diplomatic talks first? some years ago, the people of indonesia raped the indonesian chinese girls. China was extremely angry like anything. she gave indonesia a warning telling the government to do something to end it and to protect the chinese there. nothing else more to that. However , i do feel very confident that if the same thing happen to the Americans there, the first thing without a second word will the airforce and navy that will be dispatched by USA to indonesia. any other things else is secondary. don't forget again, who threw the whole world into financial and economic crisis in history? talk about the most recent one that the world is expericing. the culprit is USA. but again who save the world from this crisis? it is China. USA today owes China alot of money now!do feel free to rebuke if you disagree with what i have stated about USA and how others view of USA.
by the way this link is an absolute unfair comparison. it is like you take an apple, you a pear and then an orange and then you compare them. compare an apple with apple. 1st of all, China is a nation. Europe is a continent and not a nation. unless there is one nation called as europe then anything that you want to compare and conclude is correct about China or europe. 2ndly, the size of China as a nation by itself and europe as both a continent and the individual nations inside of europe is different. if to really compare it , compare all of individual nations inside of europe as well europe as a continent then it is really fair. 3rdly, is the population. the population of China as well the population of the individual nations inside of europe and europe as a continent is different. unless the numbers can really match in some ways, some how or rather. if not , in the first place it cannot even be compared. 4thly is enthnic groups! China has 56 official and recognize enthinc groups. if you include the unofficial and recognize ones it is more than that. so let's say there are 56 different types of chinese. how about europe as a continent an the individual nations of europe? how many are there? can they be on par? if they are then comparison is possible. 5thly, how many religions are there in the individual nations of europe and the continent of europe as compare to china? who has a greater number ? how many followers they all have? how influencial and powerful are they? is everyone evenly well match enough to do a comparision?6thly how many population is the invidual miniorities enthinc groups of in the individual european nations as compared to china? is the number sufficient to compare?7thly how long is the history of each and enthinc groups in the individual nations of europe as compare to china in order to compare the 2? 8thly how deeply rooted is the culture, traditions, customs and believes of all the enthinc groups in europe as a continent and individual in order to compare with china?9thly, how many languages and dialects does the whole of europe has as compared with China?the list can still go on longer, but i will stop here. and again don use statistics , numbers, figures, percentage, graphs or charts to compare. if really to compare, use ratio instead. ratio will be fairer in this manner
perhaps in some sense you just might be correct that these people natural rulers or businessman.
So it's in your deepest nature, your naturel destiny ...- I can't really understand you because I don't speak your language or is it just that I'm not Han ?- Just looking for some links with google isn't a reference, I was expecting you to give me some credible authors.- Vietnamese kicked the Chinese empire many times, I wonder why they are so reluctant to your peaceful Han kindnessNo serious evidence so far.However I understand why Singapore is so praised : a great tiger about economy but not a military threat. Moreover Singapore has the largest majority overseas Han Chinese population at 78%.You've just confirmed what I was suspecting about you, Propaganda Kamarade.At least Ivkhan doesn't seem dangerous.
I cannot Change what you choose to think. What you choose to think and what things really are can be different things at times. they are not always the same. I personally do not buy too much on numbers, stastics, figures, graphs and charts. it does not really prove or mean anything. at too many times these are use to wool over the eyes of many people and to mislead or confuse people. typically people in the advertising, marketing, sales and finance industry love to use such things best and i am familiar with their tatics and tricks. at times even the media and government also use such things as well.you really rather belive in authors and testimonies made by people? myself , base on life experiences i do not buy much on such things. these are people in alot of scenerios who are trying to use their influences, relationships with a person, sales speech, etc........ to get people to believe in what they want them to people in.and by the way i said " perhaps " perhaps this english word does not mean " YES " it is only in terms of numbers and historical records that the majority are such but it does not mean all of them are. If it is really all are such, can you really imagine what the world will be turned into? there are still some who are not. it is only a perhaps yes or perhaps no or perhaps by coinsicidence or perhaps this word perhaps can be anything. you are definately jumping into conclusion too fast. as to singapre wise, there are too many things they are world number 1 !singapore of course don have military threat. but however in the whole of south east asia, in terms of miliary technology, singapore has all the best and strongest. However, as to how soldier are the soldiers of singapore really are, i can tell you that they are not really soldiers at all. In fact far from it. Instead, there are some contract and treaties sign with western powers in which in times of war, they have agreed to send their men to protect and defend singapore against her enemies. this is something that many people are unaware off. the system works this way, in real times of war, the military of the westerners inside of singapore will be the first to go to the battlefield. the next will the singapore reservist units and then followed by those who still currently serving their national service. in the whole process of everything, the next wave of renforcements of the foreigners will arrive to continue their protection for singapore. There is no such need for singapore to be strong in military. even the government of singapore also know that they cannot rely and trust on their own people to protect themselves and that the real ones are the westerners. in the usual case those nations strong in military and who are real military threat are those communist nations. communist nations are very strong and powerful in military. sometimes from the way how the soldiers march you can tell their strength. look at the marching of the Chinese, the Russians, the North Koreans etc... as compared to south korea and Singapore. the differences is too obvious. However, there are too many things about singapore that is full of cover ups and propaganda as well by the media and government of singapore. perhaps you are not aware of it. in terms of the media, ( the papers, the radio, the TV , magazines, & education etc...) they are all under the absolute fullest and tightest control of the singapore government. anything that is harmful to themselves will not be released. that is it is only the good things and none of the bad to the public and foreigners. there are also secret police as well out to nap people who gives current ruling government of singapore a bad name as well. if such people are found, the next day, these people will become the next missing people of singapore in the records of police file as missing and unfound. the current oppositions of singapore can never ever win. whenever anyone who is strong in the opposition appears, before this person is of any stronger, this person will be elimiated politically for good by the ruling government ! what that is left is all the weak and useless ones in the opposition for show only to others that singapore also have oppositions. whenever voting comes, everyone all knows that the opposition can never win, as the ruling party always cheats. however there is nothing that can be done about it. singapore is not completely so much of a freedom of speech. much of it is for show only. there is a limit to their freedom of speech. if people go beyond this limit , they are in serious danger. in singapore, the government seriously discourages people to be involved or to have interest in politics. they do not want people to have interest or involvement in politics. they only people to have such is themselves only and no one else. More or less, there is some " LEE DYNASTY " thing going on in the governing of singapore.
As to what i understand and know from the people of China, there are alot of things that people talk about regarding on North and South Chinese. For an example, in terms of the appearances and features of the 2, there are also differences. But this applies on a general basics and not for all !North Chinese are taller. average height is 1.75-1.8 for the males. (this is only average height. the shortest and tallest , the gap is very big) 1.65 - 1.72 for the female as average heightSouth Chinese are shorter and this applies to all south chinese worldwide on a general basics. for the male they are of 1.65-1.73 as average. for the females they are 1.55 - 1.68 as a average height. North Chinese have a much fairer complextion, South Chinese are much Tanner. The Males of North are likely to have a hairy body and thick beard and moustage. South wise is very plain. everything all don't have. The north females have longer legs and their skin is more smooth than the south. the north chinese are bigger in size and their body is stronger than the people of the south.
If you truly understand the culture, characteristics and history of the HAN chinese, they are peace makers. they are not war minded. they are friendly. where else other chinese such as the Mongols, Manchurians, Kithians etc... they are very super War minded and can fight a war better than the Hans. the strength of the Hans is not fighting but instead governning. the Strengths of those 3 i have mentioned are in fighting a war but terrible in governning.
Do you mean that the Hans are natural born rulers ?
The Han Chinese from the north very strange to say many of them since historical days are very polical. Many of the North Han Chinese are strong in governning. However the Han Chinese of the South on the other hand are very strong in doing business. the majority of the South Han Chinese very extremely business minded people. During the last dynasty of China when Chinese were exported and sold to nations outside, the majority of them were from the south, and among them, the most were the cantonese. Those Chinese today in the west ( Europe and US) are mostly Cantonese. Their ancestors came from Canton back then. In Asia for the Chinese, people of Hong Kong and Macau are cantonese. the people of Taiwan are Hokkiens or so call MIN NAN people. the people in Thailand in particular are Teochews. People in Malaysia is very well mixed between the hokkiens and cantonese but they are more cantonese speaking. the majority of the people in Singapore are hokkiens. as to the other parts of Asia the majorities of the chinese there are also cantonese. perhaps in some sense you just might be correct that these people natural rulers or businessman.
Kentaoshima,bring some evidences to your assertions and I'd be very happyMeanwhile ...
perhaps if you able to read and understand languages of Asia it would be better. many of the things are common is those asian community or chinese communites sites. do a google search on the NANYUE empire. do a through and indept reading and you will see that what i say is correct about the vietnamese. most likely among them all, the nanyue empire is most likely the easiest to find. many of the others may be difficult to find on english speaking communities or search engines. mostly likely i should guess many of you have little knowledge or understanding of the EAST. as to what i can most of you are from europe or the US. how many are from the east and of those who are from the east, how oriental or so called "eastern" are you, may i ask? hope that you do not take any offences by my words. i have no means or intentions to attack at anyone.
Regarding on how Japan came into existance, ask any Chinese from South EAST ASIA and East Asia. especially the older generations, all of them will tell you something very similiar to what i have said. it will be difficult for you to find someone who will tell you something very different unless this person is not a chinese or no one has told him/her about it before.
as far as concern, Bulgarians are not chinese. but there are many nations that has been heavily mixed with chinese blood during their ancestor's days. on Asia itself, there are many nations in which their race/enthnic group is not as pure. many of them is very mixed. those that is very pure or so called original is very rare. these nations are such as philippines, Thailand, Myanmar(Burma) Laos, and Turkey. the people of philippines before any other thing in the event of history that took place was once very pure. but towards a later stage people from what we today call as indonesia wanted to conquer this nation. the renants of the song dynasty chinese who were escaping from the mongols landed in this land. from escapist, they became the invaders and established the LUZON empire. throughout this period of time from the rise to fall, the race of the philippines were very heavily and extremely mixed with chinese blood already. towards a later stage, the next blood to mix this race further was from Brunei, but this transition was very short. in no time, the spanish mixed their blood with this race , followed by the american during the colonia period and finally came in the Japanese. In all, how many groups of people and blood has already been mixed into this race? count it on your own. this is why when you look at the fillipino people, somewhat in terms of their facial features and skin colour, they can look very Chinese or Malay but at the same time very european. this is the reason behind to why. The people of Myanmar has the blood of the following mixed into them with their original natives ( Chinese from Yunan, Chinese from Tibet, Nepal people, India people, and some numbers of Thai people)Thai people known as the Siamese are also very mixed ( South Han Chinese from China, and some from Burma that mixed with the original locals and a large number of people from Laos)The people of Laos (a very large number of South China chinese which mixed with the natives.)The Huns were the ancestors of the Mongols. As i have earlier mentioned, Huns are a group of Chinese as well. These Chinese were from the north that move into the plains and became into normads. These Huns travel alot back then and most people have records of them seen and spoted in central Asia. however, they shifted into the middle east. Turkey this nation had not existed yet. but their ancestors were the Huns who established the Hunnic Empire and as to the fall of the roman empire, half of it contributions was because of the Huns in which Atilia had the most merits. In the later stage after the Hunnic empire was no more, it was some time later that the renants regroup themselves and eventually led to the establishement and rise of the Ottaman Empire. Finally after sometime, from the Ottaman Empire, it was rename and known as the nation of Turkey. In the whole process and transistion of everything, much blood has been mixed. that is why to many people they always wonder why Turks somewhat look like middle east Asian and somewhat Europeans?We do have a friend from Turkey here right? Pls do correct me if what i know is wrong about Turkey.

That's a little offensive and very arrogant.Mongols and indeed Uygurs in Sincan (Xinjiang) are not chinese. The Former is an independant state and an entirely different nation whereas the latters are an ethnic Turkic tribe who are currently Chinese citizens.
Agreed, but Mongolia isn't necessarily "independent." China and Russia have used it as a buffer between them, and Mongolia depends on them for imported goods etc.... Their independence is illusory at best.
Actually , basically to say all people who are yellow are chinese ! one of their ancestors was a chinese. be it Koreans, Japanese, Mongols, Vietnamese etc... they are all of chinese origins when it comes to ancestry. Vietnamese are Cantonese Chinese. there was once a NANYUE kingdom in the south. this kingdom was a Cantonese Chinese Empire. it occupied terrians of Yunnan, guangdong, guangzhou, guangxi and an extremely very large portion of north vietnam. it existed somewhere during and in between the Qin dynasty to 3 kindgoms period of China. after the fall of this kingdom, it become into 4 groups of people of 4 languages and one of them was the Vietnamese people. As to the Japanese, China created the existance of Japan. withouth China there will be no Japan existing today even. during the Qin dynasty, the first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang was a very brutal and tyrant emperor. he was the one who unify china as one. he was also one of those who is most afriad of death and he started the project of his tomb since the day he became emperor. there are too many legends and myths and stories of immortality during that time. he had a little ambition. he wanted to live forever and rule china ethernally. one day there was some news and rumors of immortality in some far away islands to the east. hence he dispacted 1000 men and woman to that island. when those men and woman arrived there, they refused to returnthey erased their identity that they are chinese and called themselves by a new group known as Japanese. that land is the land of rising sun known as Japan from that day onwards. as to Korea wise, it has been said that they were a bunch of chinese who were war prisoners, convicts, escapists, refugues and rebells who migrated to that land and settled down there. their blood has been mixed with much Kithians and Manchurains in the process of history as well. as to the mongols wise, they are definately Chinese ! before the Qin dynasty, the Han Chinese were not yet called as Hans. it was during the Han dynasty that the Chinese called themselves as Han Chinese. back then before the Qin dynasty, a group of the future to be Hans went north and settled down. they were nomads and called themselves as Xiongnu (Huns) at a much later stage, this group of people became the Mongols. during the Ming dynasty, the entire mongolia was conquered and became part of China. outer mongolia only gain independence through Russia's help at a later stage of time in history. be it by left or by right whichever the case is, Mongols are Chinese!
as to what i have understand from people that i have know of both living inside and outside of china, the minorities have actually been given many privilledges or so called special treatment is some sense. but those people still keep claim that they are being discriminated and did not appreciate the goodness done and given to them.If you truly understand the culture, characteristics and history of the HAN chinese, they are peace makers. they are not war minded. they are friendly. where else other chinese such as the Mongols, Manchurians, Kithians etc... they are very super War minded and can fight a war better than the Hans. the strength of the Hans is not fighting but instead governning. the Strengths of those 3 i have mentioned are in fighting a war but terrible in governning.
If I understand you well, even if Mao's policies and political purges from 1949 to 1975 are widely believed to have caused the deaths of between 50 to 70 million people, that was just about making peace. How come Minorities are always unhappy with all the kindness and goodness given to them ? or they are blinded by some foreign agitators plotting against China ?If so does it mean that bad things come from outside, good things come from inside China ?
Political things are very complicated. it is not with any few sentences and words that explained everything and resoved everything. if it really it, the world of today will be alot more simplier, merrier and peaceful already. the seperatist issue we cast it aside temporary. to the people of China, they see it as seperatist issue where which miniorites are encouraged by those people. but on the other hand, the minorites declear they are not well treated. but again if you look this statement of saying not well treated, it is very hard to define. China can show evidence of how well treated the miniorites are and the minorites can deny those evidences as the evidences are real. however again well treated cannot use policies, previlideges, special rights etc.. to define good treatment. a group of people may have the best of everything in such aspects but yet always declearing saying that they are not well treated. such things are actually feelings and feelings is the most complicated things. on the other hand mayb another group of miniorities may not have such good previlidges , rights etc......... in this area of aspects they can be considered to have the worst. but however to their declearations and sayings, they yet however say they are very well treated.how to explain and define such things? similiarly such example is like the case of China where the miniorities are of concern. to myself, i would that 1st of all those miniorites are not appreciative, 2ndly in terms of enthinc groups issues, China still need to improve and learn alot from other who are more successful. in this 2nd point there too many things to touch on. i will just name a few as there too many. 1st of all it is education. those miniorities are to be educated with the mindset that they well treated. next it is culturally they are still not used living together with one another. so things must be done to bond them together as well. when there is so many of such internal problem yet to reslove and to so called unite everyone as one, the seperatiest movements are one way miniorites see it as hope to break free thinking that , that is what they want which is in actual fact that is what the seperatists want them to do and want to see happenning and these mininorities fell for it.as to Mao's policy, he was a communist. he very super communitist ! this will another thing where it is the discussion of what communist is all about and many other things. some of the things he had were also almost or about the same as what other communist nations around the era were doing or have done before too. He was trying to unite China and secure the comminist rule in China. this will be what i will be personally think it to be as
Dear Kentaoshima`, I wouldn't look offensive but your history of China and its neighbours seems to be a bit biased. Moreover Singapore seceded from the Malaysian federation and became an independent republic in 1965. Not mention the Sino-Vietnamese war of 1979, Tibet in 1950, the Sino-Indian war of 1962, and the latest controversies... I hope you'll bring more precisions.(Btw, I've found an interesting report from the Pacific Rim Cultural Foundation wherein they compare wars and ... religion as well !!surprising ... :- )http://www.visualstatistics.net/Readings/Chinese%20Wars/Chinese%20wars.html
After most of the countries gain their independence from the British, the british has left too many undefine territorial issues behind unresolved for their commonwealth. the War between india and china is because of the british's undefine territorial borders issue that they have left behind for india to resolved it out with China. at the earlier days, China was too weak and poor but had never ever in the first place agreed to the border territorial issue with india. India ignored china's feelings and decisions on the matter and assumed that china has agreed. The british on the other hand simply hack care to what the 2 have decided and concluded. towards the more recent days, because of the earlier unresolved issue, renegociation took place and when there was no agreement a war broke off. if you look at this point to some sense, the british back then did not do a good job before they left. it is not just China and India. Singapore also have border and territorial issues with malaysia as well. there is some very tiny piece of land inside of singapore which belong to malaysia. for several years , singapore has been very hard to accuqiure back those land inside of singapore from malaysia with the means of money and others but to failure so far. there are also many more other nation with alot of territorial and border issue unresolved with their neigbours beisides those i have mentioned. as to those civil wars in tibet and Xinjiang. somehow it is seperatist movements. too many people and nations wish to seperate and make china smaller. previously in the past for Taiwan, Japan and USA are among those who gave the biggest support to them to fight for independence and to become a 2nd China. this was that anger china as to them there can only be 1 china.as to what i have understand from people that i have know of both living inside and outside of china, the minorities have actually been given many privilledges or so called special treatment is some sense. but those people still keep claim that they are being discriminated and did not appreciate the goodness done and given to them. If you truly understand the culture, characteristics and history of the HAN chinese, they are peace makers. they are not war minded. they are friendly. where else other chinese such as the Mongols, Manchurians, Kithians etc... they are very super War minded and can fight a war better than the Hans. the strength of the Hans is not fighting but instead governning. the Strengths of those 3 i have mentioned are in fighting a war but terrible in governning. in fact China to my opinion as too much to learn from singapore. Singapore is very and extremely successful in achiving racial harmony. they have almost any type of people that you can name of and think that exists in this world living there together with others peacefully. they have also many types of religion and there is not much of a clash there. China should learn from the success of singapore on how singapore did it and try to achieve better than singapore. if they don't most likely things will still continue as it is now. do try look things from 2 sides instead of one, my friend.
Oh yah, Suddenly i recalled of something. During the ancient times when the Jews first settled in China during the ancient days, The chinese had mistaken them to be as Muslims instead of Christians. I wonder why this is so? are they too Similiar in many ways? should a christain and a muslim be very obvious of their differences?also 2ndly, it is regarding Hong Xiu Quan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!in brief, it is something like this:1) Hong Xiu Quan had much Christain influneces around him for many years2) one day he had some sharing or conversation with an american pastor3) that very night he had a dream4) GOD and Jessus appeared inside his dream5) He was told that he was the 2nd son of God , the Younger brother of Jessus Christ6) he has a mission in China. to establish the heavenly kingdom of god, to liberate the Chinese, to save their souls, to welcome them to god's kingodm and to establish god's kingdom in China!7) he soon hold his claim that he is the son of god, god's 2nd son, jessus's younger brother8) he eventually established the taiping heavenly kingdom in China to overthrow the Qing regime and to establish a christian dynasty in China. he wanted to turn China into a christain dynasty.9) his forces were indeed formidable and many of the things he did and events that happened, somewhat seems to be history repeating itself. Jessus's history repeating on him, somehow. many of the establisments, impacts, things done and said etc.. were very culturally christain.however, very very very few christains know about this person and the bible did not even mentioned of him, if i am not mistaken.isn't the bible a compilation of things that happened during different times and words of god in it?
I do agree with both of you however , from my own experience, I can tell that this is a Western vision of humanity. About Asia, it's totally different, as if it was another planet : Vietnamese hates Chinese, Thai hates Burmese, Chinese hates Japanese, China despises its neighbours and waits for revenge against Westerners, and so on ... Even inside asian nations there is no mercy towards their own people: if you have a dark skin or a light one, you'd feel what it means, same about religion, philosophy, values, social order, etc ... If one day you live there for awhile, be prepared for a huge culture shock.
I Don't really see it as hate between Chinese and Vietnamese. In Fact the ancestors of Vietnamese and Chinese are the same. Vietnamese are actually Chinese. Their Ancestors were acutally Cantonese. After the fall and Decline of the NAN YUE kingdom which exists only during and in between Qin Dynasty to 3 kingdoms, this kingdom was splitted into 4 groups of of people. the Vietnamese was one of them. China has been at good terms with many of her neighbours especially during the ancient times except for a few which they had bad relationships. Chinese hate for Japanese is because too much bad blood has been spilled since historical days. The Japanese has done the Chinese much wrong. Not just the Chinese that the Japanese owed them many things. The Japanese also owe Korea many things too. There is much blood debts that the Chinese and Koreans have with the Japanese. Korea during the ancient days especially has been a Victim of Japan at too many occations. China during the ancient days has helped Korea too many times. they both have very good relationship all along till during the Sui Dynasty of China, the Emperor decided to Conquer Korea and relations between Korea and China sour during the Sui and Tang dynasty period. Most of the time, China had good relationship with South korea and bad relationship with north korea during the ancient times. but in the event of the korea war, China had good relationship with north korea and seem to have bad relationship with south korea even till today. During the Vietnam War, China gave the strongest and biggest support to Vietnam. they were friends. it is during the recent years due to job empolyment competitions and border issue that vietnam people dislike China but there is no hate going on. China has the longest good relationship with India all along since the past until the recent years that they became bad.People of Laos, Myanmar & cambodia has the most bad blood with Thailand due to history and border issues. Even Japan also don't Thailand. Thailand is viewed by Japan as a Traitor and dishonorable ally of WW2. Malaysia and Indonesia has always been most interested to have Singapore to be claimed as part of their own land all along. It is just that they do not have this opportunity to do so, currently! Malaysia , Indonesia and even the Philippines are not really the friends of Singapore. The ones who are friends of Singapore are Bruinei, Oceania countries, Europe and US. Singapore is trying to have good relationship with Indo-China and China currently, hoping to that they can be friends of Singapore as well. The only enemy inside of the middle east , that the middle east nations has, is Isreal and i don't think i need to explain why even?In fact it is not just Asia, racism , discriminations etc....... is also face even in europe, Australia, USA etc... let us me more neutral on it. it is all the same. Such issue that USA has is not any lesser than Asia in fact. USA is in fact one country who has the most enemies around the globe. China wise, it all depends on who the leader is. on the overall, China is a friendly nation. They are not those Warmongers etc.... They just want to make friends. They will only fight if it is really neccessary. They are not really the warlord types unlike some nations. However i do got to understand that serveral americans viewed China as an emerging global threat. I do come across aritcles and believes from americans that they believe if there is a WW3 , it is will be China's conquest of Asia. They also believe that RUSSIA will join force with CHINA to attack USA inside their own homeland.Such Alliance believes could be a possibility that China's relationship with Russia is improving alot in the recent years, i would suppose.
Beats me, I'm just a Euro-American if one wants to split hairs....
Why the need to classify either as European or Asian? Can't you be both?
Just in case you don't want to be confused with your decatent neighbours ? ;DAnyway let's wait for Kent Aoshima` to be more precise about this...
Be both? of cos can! look at Singapore!A person that is half malay and half Chinese = peranankanA person half Chinese and half caucasian = eurasianA half malay and half indian = Chittyand the list just goes on downwards all the way. they can declear themselves to be a peranankan or they can also declear themselves to be malay or chinese as an example. it all depends on what they want to declear themselves as. the citizens can be very mixed. most likely in this whole world, Singapore is the one and only nation that has the highest numbers types/variations of mixed people. but the nation cannot be both definately. most is very grey is some sense. in certain aspects, Singapore is just like Isreal. but it is not in all aspects, just that few certain aspects.
Russia is definitely European as most of its population base resides in the European continent.Turkey is also European/Mediterranean having its history tied to European affairs throughout the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, and even today hopes for inclusion into the European Union.Papau New Guinea is Polynesian, but I would argue the most "Asian" of the three you listed.Australia and New Zealand are "European" since they were colonized by Europeans but they are their own continent anyway so that point is moot.
but actually Australia and New Zeland were orignally not a nations of the Whites. it was the native's land and the white snatch it over from them. most likely if i am not mistaken the natives from this 2 lands are probably the same as those in Papua new guinea (PNG). the people in PNG somewhat or somehow has some relations with the tribes of Indonesia. Why is it that Turkey wishes to join Europe? Is it due to because they are muslim country and part of the middle east and that their ancestors were the HUNS which orginated from Mongolia and China that they are being labeled as Asia?As to Russia wise, I have noticed that their traditional buildings in terms of design and structures as compared to the others in europe, they are less european to me. in fact i don't even get am european feeling about the buildings of Russia. Instead i get a very strong feeling of the Russian traditional buildings that it is so very muslim. I really don know their buildings gives me this feeling
