Ethinicity vs nationality; Chinese vs China

[hofmann]

To be anti-China is not to be anti-Chinese.

To be pro-Taiwan is not to be pro-Chinese.

Eg, if you hate nazi Germans, it does not follow that you hate all white people. If you hate Americans, it does not follow that you hate all Caucasians.

So if I dislike communist-wannabe-capitalist China, it does not follow that I am anti-Chinese. (Eg I love Taiwan)

"Chinese" refers to ethinicity and not nationality.

Tiong refers to nationality.

Time for a Webster update. Name of China should be changed officially to Qin-a (china derives from Qin) and the people (nationality) of Qin-a are Qinese (or tiongs) but ethinically Chinese.

Just because one is Chinese does not mean one is a national of China.

These distinctions are important for discussion sake.

Humanism triumphs over nationalism.
