emperors in ancient China treated merchants as low class people. on top of social ladder was mandarin teachers. that is a fact. many of chinese merchants came to Vietnam, seeking home and business. Vietnam is liberal. nowadays many chinese businesses in Singapore or Penang or Indonesia have their forfather roots back in Vietnam.We were treated as low class citizens? Chinese merchants were bosses and employed Vietnameses as slave labor with corrupted Vietnamese government approval...before communist Hao formed an elite society dominated Vietnamese economy...LMAO you're so funny that like to twiste the fact and reality.
I wonder that I have to educate you in history.
in order to understand Chu Com, you must master Mandarin.Also @Viet I have a question.
You know like in these "Vietnamese" things or places and they put Chinese characters on there does it mean it's Hoa? Like you know in some pho shops I think they slap Chinese characters over everything to give it more of an "East Asian" and "exotic Asian" feel to it. So is that indicative of a Hoa place or not?
And yes I'm aware about Chu Nom and Han Tu but most Vietnamese can't read it
chinese characters and language were in use for 2,000 years, so it is not a major thing seeing them in VN.
and overseas. here in Little Saigon Philadelphia
