:coffee: Okay Mr. My-friend-is-a-hazara-and-they-made-me-the-"pan-mongol"-spokesperson. No I have not been to Turkey. But there is no need to mistake me for some Visa student busy killing time in karaoke bars and bubble tea joints in T.O., alright? :azn: Around here we are pretty close to...

!:what: :what: :what:! Even the ComIntern can't make up this sh!t. :smitten: Wait, didn't we all hail from the Great Bantustan a little while ago anyways? :D I used to think India was a tool for somebody with a design. And perhaps so was Turkey to an extent. But nooooo, there are clearly...

Not sure this is the appropriate thread for food lore. But even with the little that I know, I can tell you that 麻婆豆腐 is a heck lot more authentically "Chinese" than the 左公鸡 you take a fancy to. But that's alright - you are cool. :azn:

Master Dumb, I advised you not to get ahead of yourself - but you won't listen. Which district and neighbourhood of Shanghai did you grow up in? Which high school or university in Shanghai did you attend? How many hundreds of relatives in Shanghai do you have? So if I told you from personal...

First of all if I were, so what? Are Uighurs Chinese not PRC citizens, Mr. Zimbabwe? Did you not get the memo from Mr. Sub-zero? A word of advice: don't get ahead of yourself. I will defer to your "knowledge" when the topic is Bantu homeland ... In fact, much more likely I could be a Hui...

Thanks for preaching to the choir - LMAO! Anyways, I know what I am and Uighur I am not. But what the heck are you, Mr. UN?

左公鸡 is a quintessential "diaspora" dish catering to Yankee taste - I personally never had anything similar to it in China. It's way too oily. Anyways, ZZT never recovered anything lost in the 暧晖条约 to the Tsarists ...

Are the Romans not both a civilization and the Roman Empire? The Royal Sassanians both a civilization and the Persian Empire? What are you smoking, comrade? Empires and civilizations are not mutually exclusive ... Many empires are civilizations of their own right. And most, if not all...

Bravo! Going from anti-terrorism to Uighur-separatism to anti-Slav #$&* ... and to ... I love free-for-all! Pan-Mongolism and Bantu-homeland must be up next for discussion. :partay: Happy April Fool's to all!

Aye aye, Professor ComIntern! BTW, which of the "西北五马" put paid to "East Turkistan"? Care to educate us, Mr. Scholar? :toast_sign:

:partay: I am a "washed 'tad" alright, but libertad? Every buffoon knows a label these days ... I am gonna stick a few myself! :D

I am not so sure it was thanks to Genghis Khan ... The imperial Chinese history and certain amount of "mixing" stretches far, far back than the rise of the Mongols. There is little question that the grand-daddy Turks - the Tujue/GokTurks, and likely the Huns, as reflected by the likes of...

This is bordering on hilarious. :D I am far more entertained than offended. Heck - when did I ever imply that I am anything other than a member of the ethnic Han Chinese diaspora? And who and what exactly are your loyal devoteeship to "mother China"? Care to elaborate for us? And...

You impression is probably not far off from reality. The ones that "abhor" China the most these days are historical, imperial China's former "possessions" - Korea, (northern) Vietnam, and outer Mongolia. Familiarity breeds contempt ... I doubt anyone inside China has "easy" answers to...

Thanks for the link. Your last paragraph outlines the exact reasons why ASEAN has a trust deficit in the PRC. A hegemonic PRC will not be liked - and will be countered - actively and passively. Let's not forget the teaching of 墨子, my friend. If your mission is to struggle...

I see, now you think you know something about me ... No I am neither Tamil nor Uighur. :partay: However, what the heck are you, Auntie Lenin? :what: Otherwise, preach on! :cheers:

I am not sure about what Lee said exactly. Care to provide a link, and not just hearsay? At any rate - just as it goes without saying that the PRC's responsibility is first and foremost to her citizens, you will need to see that the PRC no longer has a monopoly over this so-called "Chinese...

Ooookeee brother, I know HKSAR has amazing free speech and what not, and you are clearly exercising it to the hilt ... But who are you trying to impress here? I assure you that the ones who read your comment above are not impressed, and the ones you perhaps are trying to "impress" (Pirates...

This IMO shows a naked "Uncle" mentality, and will be good for neither your health nor your morals over the long run. Standing up for yourself is necessary - but 倚强凌弱 (or the appearance of which) will not get you far. People do not have to fight injustices...

I ain't saying you were stupid, my man! I said you got a point and a good one at that ... with caveats.
