Chinese, according to the DLI, is among the hardest languages for amuuuricans to learn. so i say, "不, 也不谢谢你 [bù , yě bù xiè xiè nǐ。" ("no, and no thank you.")

I'm not sure if they will or even truly have an interest in forcing Westerners and other outsiders to convert to their own culture but they do have a history of doing this within their own borders dating back to the time the Chinese Empire was founded under their first Emperor Qin Shi Haung.


Which makes for a fascinating documentary btw.

Arabic is the most difficult and Japanese is up there. German is the easiest.

Australia used to be a haven, but with the Chinese/ccp threat, I can't think of any place in the world I would want to live in.
If/when China invades Australia, New Zealand will be next, so that isn't a viable solution, either. 8O

Well the Phillipines has not fallen to the CCP yet . And Chinese is one of those languages used there.

Wait Wait a minute , PePe LePew is old ? well that is,a pretty old cartoon anyhow .

My very first girlfriend spoke Chinese and German, as well as bits and pieces of a few other languages, though I'm not sure which she learned first. I have to say it was amusing when she'd speak Chinese in particular, Chinese people would get super excited at an American speaking their language, probably even more so because she was black and they really didn't expect that.

I spoke passable Japanese at one point, but I never used it and lost the ability, which was really too bad, I was very interested in it in my younger days. I didn't find it that difficult, the phonetic pronunciation made things easier for me, and I found that if I spoke it with what I thought a Japanese accent sounded like, it actually came out pretty good.

So when the SHTF I'm pretty much going to be stuck here. But oh well, better me than you guys, right? :skull:


Don't come to Australia unless you speak or plan to learn Mandarin. 8O


Sinicization will become the new Chinese equivalent to Anglicisation in a way. Once Western Civilization collapses and China becomes the next dominant world superpower.


Hopefully, I am long dead by then. :skull:

It's true and very sad, and what's worst is that there are some people that have either downplayed the severity of the issue or outright denied what China is doing.

As they say "follow the money". I think we all know why the rest of the world isnt doing s**t about China's ethnic cleansing. They have too much invested into China financially.

My understanding is that they are being sterilised and also used for organ harvesting because of their healthy lifestyle.

The moral of the story, stay unhealthy and eat a Ronald Mc Donald Trump diet, if you are a minority group and live in China. 8O

There are a lot of China/ccp apologists in the world, yes.
