"Chiang lost to the Chicoms because he couldn't speak Mandarin"

Since when was Ningbo part of Shanghai? I mean I guess since Jiang Jieshi base was largely in Shanghai aka a foreign runned aparthied city state where the wealth of China was concentrated. But yeah He lost the Civil war because he was so fucking useless and backstabber that much of NRA specifically the Northwestern Armies had enough of his shit and joined the CCP.

Shanghai dialect is not even mutually intelligible with Zhejiang. They can't understand each other. They need Mandarin to converse. How do you think Sun Yat Sen spoke with Chiang?

Never heard of that. What's the background behind this usage?


Some suggest that the Chinese in Southeast Asia resemble Jews.

Throughout the history of Chinese immigration to Southeast Asia, numerous acts of ethnic cleansing have occurred, dating back to the colonial era. Despite their small population size, the Chinese held a very significant portion in the business world, which fueled hatred.

For Western colonizers, the connection between mainland China and the Southeast Asian Chinese was something to be worried. This is why the Communist Party had to be the perfect enemy to prevail and be contained at mainland.

Although the Southeast Asian Chinese once constituted a considerable proportion of the population in Malaysia, their political power is weak. And the security of the Chinese majority Singapore had to depend on the US.

This is why the Chinese in Indonesia and Malaysia are often very patriotic, due to the unequal treatment and brutal purges they suffered in the past.

Furthermore, Mao Zedong's Cold War strategy of exporting revolution to Southeast Asia was a mistake, doomed to fail. Only exacerbating the suffering of the local Chinese communities.

Malaysian Chinese is a bit a stretch because they sorta evolved into their own people (Nyonya/Peranekans) due to Zheng Ho. Don't forget they and Singaporeans are very westernized and a good chunk of them are no different then HKers and Taiwanese (Namsee is a recent example)
