unpacking 'sinophone' and its sinophobic roots

so. it never occurred to me to just type "sino diaspora" into google before.

and google is like "oi!! you meant sinophone yeah? here's wikipedia on sinophone" and here's like the other top results

I'm squinting. What the hell do you academics have against diaspora using the term diaspora?? I click.

inb4 this whole rant: I have no qualms with using sinophone as a language-family-use descriptor (like sinophone media), but coming from academia or as an academic field unto itself. but. the literature about wanting to use it as a demographics thing & separate it from "chineseness". just. looook if anyone knows that they're no longer like this let me know. with what im seeing, im having a bad faith moment

so... this is the academic that's hard pushed the term for sinophone.

"crit on orientalism might be complicit for allowing Chinese intellectuals to call themselves victim under an 'unreflective' nationalism" & "but the flipside may be a new imperialism" yeah?? any more unsubstantiated claims???

What a joke!! Clearly only takes authority about Chinese history from western sources, like literally has the uncritical echo of "X country doesn't deserve territorial integrity" that literally fueled western imperialism, and not just of China. Treaty of Nanjing 1842 ringing no bells? Sigh. National sovereignty is the barest basis against overt imperialism where someone just comes over and declares where you live their colony!!! ... is this a test in how far can you stretch the definition of imperialism or colonization? lmfao, China invests in poverty-relieving measures like building houses and improving infrastructure out in Tibet, Guizhou, Xinjiang, and you have the audacity to call that colonizing?!? 我真无言了。

different article by the same person:

laughable to think that the Chinese state even bothers to think I exist, let alone talk to me about my diaspora status. (I was born in the US)

also, people are really out there saying 'diaspora has an end date' huh

here it is. here is the 'scholar' conflating American or western imperialism with things Big Bad Scary Red China does.

Clearly mixing up concepts of tributary system with colonialism, and acting like historically (other than Yuan era under Genghis) that ancient China/Chinese culture was expansionist, going around trying to conquer peoples and set up colonies. Admiral Zheng He would spit on you.

Comparing the spread of culture and language in Ancient China to the colonization and subjugation that the French/Belgium did in Africa, or the British Empire, or the Spanish and Portuguese in Latin America, is so blatantly dishonest. The indigenous people of Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang still speak their own languages and use their own scripts, and yes, they learn them in schools alongside the national language... which is Chinese!!! Yes the Hanyu writing system was adopted and adapted by many neighboring cultures in ancient times, but you literally don't examine WHY? The fluidity in its system: frequently non-Han peoples invented characters to suit their language, like there's even some Canto-specific characters that are in use today. Another reason that Chinese writing system was so popular was because two Sinitic language speakers who do not speak the same language could communicate through the same script. Yeah, Ancient Chinese scholars and dignitaries often had an insufferable elite-ness and superiority complex, but describing their attitude as subjugating and forcing other people to adopt their system? What a wildly malicious mischaracterisation!

just... mask off, gringo butt-licker.

Please. where is the "Chinese containment" policy? The white papers reaffirming what the international community agrees, what Taiwan historically agrees (tho Taiwan held that it was the true capital/head of all of China), that Taiwan is part of China?? I know this article was written back in 2010s but are you seriously comparing American weapons deals and boots on the ground with Chinese military exercises in Chinese territory that haven't harmed a single civilian? "critical" my ass!

gotta love the title of this one. yeah, I know it, I've seen it before. the Chinese or feminist binary, pick a side /s

but hey in this piece she admits she's ignorant and unobjective and out of her league sometimes?

edit: found this:

yeah that about seals it for me. anti"diaspora" sinophobe

#sino diaspora #diaspora #逆向种族分子 #long post #chen yells at clouds. more at 10 #sinophobia #sorry. personal rabbit hole. and taking things personally #we're committing ad hominem crimes today folks #sure chinese->lunar new year. im fine w that. but can you fucks stop trying to take away chineseness away from people who still ID as???#this person is literally doing the western empire's work of laying ground for sinophobia #can't tell if this academic is a grifter or actually serious lmfao #as if american chinese diaspora don't call americans 老美 and call ourselves 老中. i mean yes i call myself 老美 when in china but hello??#you cloak your 'expertise' in the lingua & clothes & rituals of western academics. just shake your colonized ass for white people more #reading this drivel makes me want to go into asian american studies & grab this and shake it around like a ragdoll.#but im reminded that western institutions and definitely academics unquestionably cite western sources w/o hesitation #but give anything coming out of China even just academics not anything gov related with skepticism. so it's probably a no-fly #yeah sure im a 'sinophone' but im also diaspora so fuck you. 你忘了你祖先你的族梗。你这个逆子找白人拜金去了。就你这样做榜样？让海外华裔立起来？丢死人。跟你的英文大白菜出卖同类吧 #fuck you for saying that diaspora's connection to their heritage & culture are currently being severed& should be severed & studied as such #like literally uncritical of how exactly that happens. why so many diaspora have internalized racism driving them to scrub themselves of #their asianness heck even chineseness. try to scrub it all away but you still got an asian face. so fuck you #didn't look into 'asian american studies' much before but if it's a lot like this... well. 🤨#like this academic is so disconnected from our shared histories AHSIJIJDSIAJDAAAHAAHGGHGGG #+ my poasts #imperial core circus

US ban on TikTok “not fair” – China’s Foreign Ministry

A Chinese foreign ministry official criticised a US bill to force the sale or ban TikTok, arguing on Thursday that there was “no fairness to speak of” in citing national security to reduce other countries’ competitive advantage.

A bill passed overwhelmingly by the US House of Representatives on Wednesday would give Chinese TikTok owner, ByteDance, around six months to sell the app’s US assets or face a ban.

Wang Wenbin, a ministry spokesman, responded to the US move as follows:

“The US House of Representatives passing this bill lets the United States stand on the opposite side of the principles of fair competition and international trade rules. If so-called national security reasons can be used to wilfully suppress other countries’ superior companies, there would be no fairness to speak of.”

China persistently argued that the US was overemphasising the concept of national security, with Wang saying its actions were disrupting the normal international trade order and would eventually have unpleasant consequences.

The US increasing the (serious) handling of this matter lets the world see clearly whether the United States’ so-called rules-based competition is beneficial to the world or is only self-serving.

every other day i remember that one tweet about how american leftists never unlearned american exceptionalism they just changed its direction from "america is Exceptionally Good" to "america is Exceptionally Bad" and every other day it just keeps being unbearably and tiresomely correct

#I'm just. i don't know. I'm not even mad at this point. i just want to laugh inconsolably abd roll on the ground until my neck breaks.#like you see the cherry on top of that tweet were people who thought that the author of that tweet was america apologist #because well obviously one could only criticize russia and china only as an america apologist #dear reader the author of that tweet was from kazakhstan #that's the part where i think i should recommend to some people to look at the borders of kazakhstan at the map #so anyway #today i saw a post about russian anti-trans law #and then a saw a tag on that post that said #“well americans live in the fascist country with an Ultra Tight Grip Around The News so how could they possibly knew about this”#and you know what. okay. i believe it. i have no intention of telling other people that their country Is Great Actually.#unlike some (same) people #and yeah everybody cannot possibly know about everything that is happening in the world. that's okay. alright.#but also. also.#how did you wrote this on the post about literal dictatorship with extreme and violent censorship #and it never crossed your mind that maybe. just maybe. just this fucking time. on that fucking post about this very specific country.#you could shove your “an ultra tight grip on the news” UP YOUR FUCKING ASS

Facebook group post P1: what did people feed quail before purina was a thing? P2: they didn't! quail are wild animals and they didn't keep them Me: did anyone inform 11th Century China they weren't supposed to keep and breed quail? Or 12th Century Japan, who bred and competed them as song birds with benefits. What about the ancient Egyptians... and not sure what bird they were eating the Bible - better double check that quail are kosher. Also those pesky Victorians, can't keep their paws off keeping and breeding every single animal known to man.

#ffs just because quail weren't commonly kept outside of japan and china until the mid-19ths century #doesn't mean no one else was keeping them #like not to be that person but coturnix coturnix is literally called PHAROAH quail and JAPANESE quail #honestly I suspect europeans weren't keeping them because they had pigeons which are more or less quail that fly LOL #or quail are pigeons that don't fly #anyway they fill the same niche along with bantam chickens #which were more popular in the new world than either pigeons or quail #until cities started systemically banning them #after the world war 2? I believe it was 2 #I suspect the reason quail are becoming popular in the US right now is people are trying to skirt those restrictions #because they're realizing they want some control over their food supply #its like domestic rats #people don't seem to realize rats were kept in Japan before the Victorians started breeding them as pets/novelties #very few common place animals of today weren't kept in the past by various cultures #there are several species of domestic finch that come from SE Asia and straight up don't exist in the wild #see also mule canaries ie. hybrids between canaries and goldfinches

I’ve just learned about ghost marriages. Feeling many emotions at once about this.

#Chinese beliefs are so interesting #my bosses are from China and they tell me the coolest things #like!!! men essentially court women into dating them. showing them with gifts. paying for the wedding and the HOUSE and-#in some provinces it’s common to rent EIGHT cars for your wedding #my boss’s husband rented six #and mandarin oranges are a symbol to bring wealth #so they eat a lot of them in the new year #and the company my boss used to work for planted mandarin trees in front of their building #which is apparently common to do in the Guangdong province #so..just a little fun fact for anyone that dares to read my tags #personal #all this to say I bought mandarins today at the grocery store #with intent!#bring in that cash for my lunar new year babbyyyy

China’s economic growth falls to 0.4% amid virus shutdowns

China’s economic growth plunged to 0.4 per cent over a year earlier in the latest quarter after Shanghai and other cities were shut down to fight coronavirus outbreaks, but the government said a “stable recovery” is underway. The world’s second-largest economy shrank by 2.6%, compared with the January-March period’s already weak quarter-on-quarter rate of 1.4%, official data showed Friday.…

Taiwan condemns Qatar for 'politicising' World Cup amid China spat

New Post has been published on https://www.timesofocean.com/taiwan-condemns-qatar-for-politicizing-world-cup-amid-china-spat/

Taiwan condemns Qatar for 'politicising' World Cup amid China spat

Taipei (The Times Groupe)- Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry criticized the organizers of the World Cup in Qatar on Wednesday for claiming Taiwanese fans may be listed as Chinese, and demanded they not allow “improper political factors” to influence sporting events.

Taiwan is a democratically-governed country that takes issue with China’s claims to sovereignty and, in particular, its attempt to claim Taiwanese people as Chinese.

The Hayya card, which serves as a fan identification card as well as their entry visa to Qatar, is required for all World Cup ticket holders.

Taiwan was not listed as a nationality on the application system Tuesday, and a senior Qatari official said Taiwanese were likely to be listed as Chinese on the card.

On Wednesday, the online system listed “Taiwan, Province of China”, terminology that is equally offensive to Taiwan’s government and its people, though it did display a Taiwanese flag, a symbol anathema to China.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou said it was “unacceptable to belittle our country” and they were asking organizers to “immediately correct their ways”.

“The Foreign Ministry urges the organizers of the World Cup that improper political factors not taint simple sports activities and sporting venues that value fair competition and emphasize the spirit of the athletes,” she said.

Sports organizers should let sports be sports and give fans around the world “a clean World Cup football event”.

World Cup organizers did not immediately respond to the comments. Qatar’s communication office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Taiwan participates in most international sporting events as “Chinese Taipei” to avoid political problems with Beijing.

It has never been to a World Cup finals and lost all eight matches in the second round of the Asian qualifying for the 2022 tournament last year.

Taiwan does not have diplomatic relations with Qatar, which, like most countries, only recognizes China’s government.

China has stepped up its pressure on countries and foreign companies to refer to Taiwan as part of China in official documents and on websites, often using the phrase “Taiwan, Province of China”, or “Taiwan, China”.

Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the Chinese foreign ministry, responded to questions about Taiwan’s complaints to the Qatar World Cup organizers by affirming that “Taiwan is part of China”.

“The one China principle is a basic norm of international relations, and it is widely acknowledged by the international community,” Wang told reporters at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
