Who are you on foreign soils?
Two years ago, we visited an old temple in Japan. At the entrance, we saw an notice that was written in simplified Chinese with a somewhat irritated message that goes like this, ‘we treat you with courtesy, and please treat us the same'.
We were at ease because we knew from the bottom of our heart, that this was not meant for us, who read and use traditional Chinese only.
When I was in Australia, a European blue collar told me that there are three kinds of ‘Chinese’: those born in here (Australia), those from Hong Kong, and those from China. The identity will reveal itself by how the person behave.
//the term Huaren 華人 meaning “ethnic Chinese” became popular. It represented the ethnicity, and somehow it also represented that they do not have the Chinese nationality... Ethnic Chinese, meant that their ancestors were from areas in China...
//But in English, there is no distinction between the two, both refer as “Chinese”.
//Many Chinese moved to Canada, were furious about Meng Sabrina arrested (Huawei's CFO), but were indifferent when two Canadian were arrested in China for policial reasons.
//In the Little Pinkies’ mind, it is absolutely normal for others want to join them in China and "kowtou".
//they wanted to be buried in China after death. Only a few truly settle down in overseas, and viewed their new homeland as their forever home... these oversea Chinese changed their mind, and see the country they settled as true homes.
//their attitude reversed and they have the same mindset as in the old days.. people again call themselves as Chinese, instead of “ethnic Chinese”...
//Ethnic Chinese, has no obligation to become Chinese nationals, and have no moral reason to love China, a country which he/she has no say or involvement at all.
//We, ethnic Chinese should also give ourselves a new name, to distinct ourselves from the country, China.

Chinese Official Media Globally Recruit Reporters and KOLs are “The Media Challengers”
The Chinese official media CGTN, who has been fined and revoked license by England during the beginning of the year, recently held a “The Media Challengers” program. It is recruiting English-speaking reporters and KOLs. Those selected will receive a $10,000 bonus and get a full or part-time job in CGTN. Besides the Chinese international students, there are also some from Zimbabwe and Zambia. Some British experts believed that local audiences may think that the international community admired CCP if Western social media KOLs announce official Chinese messages on certain issues.
According to the official Weibo of CGTN, “The Media Challengers” is a “Recruitment of Global Host Reporters and KOLs” and is the first global event. It aims to “inject new power into international communication in a media-converged environment”, to recruit host, reporters, DJ and KOLs for English reports and creation. There are no limits for nationality.
