<p>and by the way k&s: as a native Chinese, I often view the Manchurians as a part of our Chinese Civilization. I don’t really see the need to highlight the difference between the Manchurians and the “Chinese,” as technically, Manchuria culture is one of the 56 ethnicities that make up China as a whole. When we refer to the Qing Dynasty, we still refer to it as “China.” We simply don’t see the need to magnify our ethnic and racial differences, as that would only result in conflict, hostility, and the break up of our civilization. I’m not sure what kind of China you would like to see? And no offense, most ordinary Chinese don’t really care what you have to judge about “our” 5000-year-old civilization.</p>
