1997 Hong Kong. 950k Hong Kongers , most of them moved to Canada, USA , Australia etc etc
by 2001 80% of Hong Kongers moved back to Hong Kong. With an American passport, Canadian passport of course, since it allows dual citizenship

The Chinese born, New American Citizens and green card holders whom migrated to USA are now moving back en masse due to Geo political tensions

After the Hong Kong protest in 2020, there is at least 300K Hong Kongers who moved to UK, Australia etc etc ... now at least 30% moved back...cannot find jobs, jobs given to other guys from Sub Sahara Africa, BLM, and the "refugees" from Mid East.

It is going to get worst for Ethnic Chinese / Han descent in the West in the up and coming years due to the tension. It has happened before to the Japanese and it will happen again to the Chinese. Simple as that.
East Asians are basically at the bottom of Society in Western countries at the moment. That is the reality.

Ahh yeah I heard some of this. Hopefully things get better for the Chinese. Even more sad cos I heard everyone in Asia seems to hate them. Maybe just specifically the main landers.

You can't expect mainlanders who have went through Marxist indoctrination
Who 30 years back are still eating tree barks and field rats to suddenly become "civilized" there is 1.3 billion of them.

The newer generation will improve every decade. They have lost their culture due to Maoism and before that subjugated by the Japanese for 4 years, before that semi subjugated by 8 Western nations in the two opium wars and ruled by Manchurians for 350 or so years.

Sucks to be them.. Not everyone in Asia hates them, just like not every central and South Anerican countries and Caribbean countries hates the USA.

Being neighbors to an up and coming "power" is difficult. The Chinese have no doubt became arrogant. How they succeed in future comes down to how they are going to manage their Ego.

My Ex Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, said this and predicted this about them in 1995.

I'm more curious about the Taiping war and it's implications, was that the event that destroyed pre-Modern China?

Not really, if you look at the Taiping rebellion, it was lead by someone whom proclaim to be the brother of Jesus, although modern in some sense especially when it comes to woman, a lot of their ideologues are very similar to Marxism.
Furthermore their version of so called Christianity doesn't belong to our Lutheran / Methodist traditions. It is kinda warped.

Basically using the Lord's name in vain in order to gain the mandate to rule. Unlike the Meji Restoration in Japan, The Qing Dynasty ruled by the Manchus are never going to be modern. They think too greatly about themselves. because from the Early 1700s to Mid 1800s China was extremely wealthy.
So when you think you are rich and powerful, you think you own the world and everyone bows before you, you will end up getting fxxked and so they did . Furthermore Manchus are a barbarian tribe up north, their culture is even more egoistical and arrogant than Han Chinese.

The only dudes who are more barbaric and arrogant than Manchus are the Mongols who controlled China during the Yuan Dynasty. And you know how far they went.

On the one had i like trump to stick it to the muslims

On the other hand I like dems to stick it to the jews

Unfortunately there is no party that caters to both Islamophobia and antisemitism

The true Anti Semites are probably hidden amongst Trumps voters. They are all posting in Stormfront.

Trump just did a gathering for remembrance of Oct 7th hours ago, undeniably showing his support for Israel.

Just because he respect Israel and Jews it doesn't mean there aren't groups within the really really far right do.

If the current threat is woke / LGBTQ / BLM / Muslim. They will do whatever to handle it first and after that they will go after that particular diaspora.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend for now.

No I'm not.
