Any land north of the Great Wall, west of Shan shi(Shan Xi), south of Hu Nan and east of the Yellow Sea belongs NOT to Chin-a. Even today's "Provinces" of Fukien(Fu Jian), Taiwan, Kwantung(Guang Dong), Kwanshi(Guang Xi), Hainan Island, and etc. were not part of the domain of Ch'in Kingdom.<BR/><BR/>Before the Republic of China, 1912, the country was named the Kingdom of Ching(Qing by commie's piyin) by the Manchus rulers. <BR/><BR/>The trouble is the communists call their country "the Middle Kingdom" (Zhong Guo) in Chinese language, and by their definition, the Middle Kingdom includes Manchuria, Mongolia, Tibet, East Turkestan and etc.<BR/><BR/>Confusion is caused by the Chinese name of China -- the Middle Kingdom(Zhong Guo).<BR/><BR/>Chinese Communists have been so proud to use their pinyin(spelling), for instance, to change "Peking" to Beijing, why don't they have "self respect" to just rename "China" as Zhong Guo, like Sri Lanka is for old "Ceylon" ?<BR/><BR/>Hidden Agenda?Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04240947196800983904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9947578.post-63446696946093362582008-09-03T09:05:00.000-04:002008-09-03T09:05:00.000-04:00Whatever the merits, my point was it was bothering...Whatever the merits, my point was it was bothering some people, and on the very issue on which the Communists can brook no criticism.D.J.

This is a fake news story, a made-up crisis. The E-lobby should be reporting real news, not silliness like this.Makkabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113442372465535999noreply@blogger.com
