Hokkien dialect originated from Fujian china
The message is: Don't mess with China, she is not the same as 30 years ago,
for sure!!
America knows she cannot win any war. But she's engaging in wars of attrition to slow down possible pear competitors. Since she got other European VASSALS STATES willing to go along, she (America) will use them.
Whatever the China's Red Line has been crossed. Taiwan has just declared its INDEPENDENCE so China has to REACT. If China let this be then all would say China is a PAPER TIGER.
for sure C C P is messing with with china, we the west don't have to do anything :)
😂😂 so much military experience
China government values honesty, equality, respect and trust. We mean what we said but US government doesn’t own any of this quality!
haha, china is a dumpster fire because of C C P, while in the west we get richer while staying free! you can not out compete the west, we are light years ahead in technology and culture and our society facilitates us advancing. China's does not because of C C P command & control. From the Yellow river to the south china sea, it is all RoC
nobody "owns" quality, quality is earned and C C P has not earned it!

@@user-mc2oc6jw9q you are brainwashed by the US news medias; stop bury your head in the sand and come out for some fresh air and learn something.
Indeed, and that's how it ought to be!!!
Taiwan is part of China, period. So whether the people of Taiwan like it or not. For example, whether you like your parents and living in your parents home and you have a dispute with your parents, you cannot say that your parent’s home is now your home. If people of Taiwan don’t like mainland China then you can move to your master homeland (USA)🤣🤣🤣
Spot on!!
Soon, those separatists have to prepare their refugee boats.
THAT WHAT HAPPENED IN P@L@STINE SINCE 80 MORE YEARS AGO
BUT WHAT LEADERS ESPECIALLY IN MUSLIMS COUNTRY'S AND OIC DOING TO STOP HYPOCRISY AND GENOCIDE??? NOTHING!!!
LAST HOPE ONLY FROM CHINA AND RUSSIA TO LEAD AND BRING STABILITY AND BALLANCE OF POWER OF THE WORLD TO STOP HYPOCRISY AND WARMONGERING
👍💯🎯
Congratulations to the new president of the Independent Country of Taiwan
All countries just dump the US toilet paper problem solved..
Toilet paper is higher currency than the dollar 😂
Totally agree, a country belongs to its people, not to emperors, kings or imperialists who behave like the colonialists, capitalists from anywhere who live from sucking the blood of their own people or of the people from other countries. The world does not belong to those who call themselves blue blood, because whatever their race and nation, whatever their skin color, the color of their blood is the same, namely red.
That’s called emergency toilet paper
The next group of countries joining BRICS may be about 80 countries.
haha, saw a news report yesterday from TRT or Aljazeera, there was a BRICS forum to have a common currency and they have delayed it until 2030 because it is not as simple as "dumping the US$". All countries need to keep foreign reserves to match the amount of that currency which they have in their economy (EG if china has 100 million US worth of goods imported, it needs to have 100 Million US to transact on the Swift money settlement system)
Maybe China and Russia should hold more naval drills. Would send a strong message!
Yes! Yes ! Yes !!!
Dr I am not being rude here and the fact of the matter is I want to vomit each and every time the word democracy comes out of one of the two orificess of western politicians. Pure diarrhea period.
You're not being rude! It's the truth even for some of us Americans (and I speak for myself) I know the Gov does not mean it. Like I always say: Democracy is an illusion!!
There is no Democracy in this world.

🇨🇳 Very strong ..
It’s about time that China takes off the gloves when it comes to Taiwan. China has been more than patient and gracious, hoping that the lunatics in WA DC would see the light and back off. Well, China has come to the conclusion that playing nice doesn’t work with these psychopaths, in fact they regard it as a sign of weakness.
China has now laid down the law in regard to the Taiwan issue. See who would be stupid enough to muck with it.
History has demonstrated that the Chinese government doesn’t muck around, they do things intelligently and with conviction when their minds are made up.
So well written!!
TQ for being able to express so well here👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
作为中国人，我觉得越晚我们准备的越充分，保护武器，经济，如果经济停滞可能是战争爆发的时刻。
In his speech, the DPP leader clearly announced Taiwan independence. From now onwards, anytime mainland China would retakev the island.
Let's register to be a member of the United Nations...
So officially become an independent country
I want to see quickly do if Taiwan is cowardly..
@JESUSANAKTUHAN-uj7on except less than a dozen microscopic island states, have diplomatic ties with Taiwan, the other 185 UN members recognised Taiwan is China's province. Perhaps, in the next election, the DPP most likely is not going to run the island again. Mainland should have long ago taken the necessary action, that the DPP can not have the cake and eat it.
The West/US is pushing him over the cliff!!
@@Dragon-gl1rw I just challenge people supporting Taiwan or anyone else to quickly proclaim Taiwan's independence, so this matter is over quickly, I think, China has also been waiting for a long time like this to complete China's obligation to defend China's sovereignty
So let's hurry up if necessary, America itself also recognizes Taiwan
I'm fed up and tired of American and Taiwanese rhetoric.
@@geopoliticaltrends America and the West must be given what they want, and China must be prepared for all risks, as Russia did, if the world has to go to war with nukes, let it go, let's feel it together.
Nor did the dead die together?
If it can still continue, let's continue in the afterlife..
When China does military drills around Taiwan, US navy always stayed far far away. Why?
Really???
Tt is interesting info u ve there 😂😂😂
@@henryneoch7366 Could you please name the last time the US CV got within 1000 miles of China?
The map show wrong color for Taiwan province. Taiwan is a province of China, not a country.
I know; that why I showed both maps to let you all know how manipulate political map in the West can project certain facts...
Thank you David for clearly present the whole picture of the truth behind. ,❤
You're welcome, Ray!!
He said that TW is part of US first island chain to contain China,(with the intention to assure his supporters that US will not abandon us that easily,) that means it is military, so of course China’s response should be military. I never seen anyone that stupid to announce that and ask for punishment.
The message is that in the Taiwan national elections last January, 60% of votes voted for greater and closer ties with China.
Only 40% voted for the warmongering DPP party.
Respect Democracy.
The Taiwan legislature is now China oriented.
So the West has no mandate in or near Taiwan.
Lai swore in front the portrait of the father of the Republic of China Sun Yetsun..... Sun was about one China, equality and unity, quite a contrary to Lai's inaugural speech about 2 countries
LAI is a Japanese!
Lai is half Chinese! His grandmother is Japanese .
That guy is a pariah monky - of no use bite everybody- a lunatic
That speech was written by the US ... that guy is just a US lapdog
Lai is a puppet, just like Elensky and Marcos, they don't care about their country, they care only US$
The biggest complaint from the US warmongers is that China didn't have any war experience. However, for decades the CCP have expanded and advanced their armed forces in technology and defense tactics. Cleary, you can't negate that China provided UN with peacekeeping forces for over 30 years and have over 2500 military personnel on the ground in over 20 countries.
it is the CPC tho, buddy.
@@cheungchingtong So what?? No one knows who will ultimately be the winner or loser. The name of the game is to fight smarter and learn from the failures your opponent has suffered like the Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Ukraine as it’s puppet!

China might not have any air force and naval war experience but the PLA are well trained and prepare with new and advance weapons. Meanwhile, US army have experienced with wars but against MUCH weaker opponents, furthermore US army like their weapons, aircraft, naval ship are aging.

Yes !! yes !! Yes !!!
Yup, Chinese love freedom of navigation as much as USA 😂😂
It is normal for China to exercise in areas under its own jurisdiction, as the United States does in Hawaii. In addition, Taiwan is a part of China, which can be found in the UN and previous historical materials and statements, so China's state affairs do not need outsiders to intervene. Think of Iraq, Afghanistan and so on, outsiders have no right to do so, it only brings endless harm to the common people, 🇹🇼 is not an excuse for outsiders to start wars.
Yes !!! Yes !!! Yes !!!
Short of saying tt America shld learn to mind ur own biz ???

Does he look like a gay ????
I watched another analysis where they mentioned a few things:
1. Usually when they do live firing, they will issue a warning. This time round China didn't issue any notice for the live firing. This isn't a simple military drill, it's a pre-war preparation. They're not here to play.
2. In the space of a few hours, they completely surrounded the island of Taiwan. The message is: can you (Taiwan defense or US assistance) react in time?
3. Japan for all their bluster being a USA minion kept very quiet this time round. With the China-Russia allyship, Japan is unlikely to send help or Russia will pounce on them.
4. They really dislike Lai Ching De.
Good observation!!
India too dare not say anything about supporting Taiwan's independence.
US could not even defeat North Korea supported by a China whose soldiers then had to share rifles.
Yes !!! Yes !!! Yes !!!
At that time, China and North-Korea didn't have any aircraft and warships. They yet successfully prevented the U.S. and its Western allies from winning the Korea war. Later, the same gang lost their Vietnam and Afghan wars.
Dr David my west friend , like I have already told you previously that Philippines current president is the son of the former Philippine president sir that in 1963 trying to use the military invasion on my country Malaysia Sabah and Sarawak but they failed due to the internal conflict inside Philippines,now I suspect that his son the current president of Philippines wants to use Taiwan island, Ukraine, south china sea issues to aim rare minerals inside my country Malaysia Sabah and Sarawak, rare minerals inside china and Russia countries mainland sovereign rights and rare minerals inside all the world countries mainland sovereign rights,the majority countries they don't like Philippines current president due to he is the son of the former Philippine president of 1963 Sabah and Sarawak Malaysia issues.
Corruption corrupted Phillipine 😮
Dispute Over Territories (An almost forgotten history) :
🪖 Military conflict
It started on February 11, 2013, when 235 militants arrived in Lahad Datu, Sabah Malaysia by boat, and ended on March 24.
Chronology
👉🏽 On February 12, 2013, Azmudi Kilam, the younger brother of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kilam III, led few hundred people armed with weapons invaded Sabah by boat from the southern Philippines and occupied Kampung Tanduo village in Lahad Datu. A confrontation occurred with local police which is about 150 km from Lahad Datu Town.
Malaysian police blocked the road. Malaysian police boats patrol nearby waters. Philippine security agencies blocked entry into the southern Philippines and deployed six naval vessels to stabilize the situation.
👉🏽 On March 1, the two sides exchanged gunfire in Kampong Tanduo village. There are 2 dead from Malaysia and 12 Sulu armed personnel.
👉🏽 On March 2, President Aquino III demanded the immediate and unconditional surrender of Sulu armed personnel hiding in Lahad Datu. The police in Lahad Datu town advised people to stay indoors at the same time. Shops were closed and the streets were deserted. Eleven primary and secondary schools in Lahad Datu Township suspended classes. Three Sulu armed men were arrested in Lahad Datu. Later that day, the police received a report from residents of Simunul, Semporna, and witnessed armed men. During the search, a shootout broke out in Simunul. The Malaysian police said that in a shootout in Semporna on March 2, six Malaysian police officers and six Sulu armed personnel were killed. There were also sightings of armed men in Kunak district, and police also conducted searches.
👉🏽 On March 3, media news was chaotic. It was reported that the gun battle in Semporna the day before had caused about 1,000 people to evacuated Semporna town.
👉🏽 On March 5 morning, Malaysian military began to attack and bomb Sulu armed personnel from the air. Philippine police blocked 67 supporters of the Sulu Sultanate from attempting to ente Sabah from Tawi-Tawi province in the southern Philippines. Philippine police said that the 67 people were from Basilan and Sulu provinces, but they were unarmed.
👉🏽 On March 7, the Sultan of Sulu announced a unilateral ceasefire and hoped that Malaysia would also cease fire. Malaysian Defense Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamid said that unless the other side surrenders unconditionally, it will not accept the ceasefire proposal. Malaysian Police Chief Ismail Omar said that 31 Sulu armed men were killed in the crossfire from March 6 to March 7.
👉🏽 On March 12, a firefight broke out between the two sides in Sungai Nyamuk, resulting in the deaths of one Malaysian soldier and three Sulu armed personnel.
Afterwards, the Malaysian side ended the siege of the village by Sulu armed personnel, secure the location and searched for remaining enemy.
👉🏽 On March 24, the military operation ended.
👉🏽 A maritime curfew was implemented on the east coast of Sabah. About 10 years later, most places lifted the curfew in 2023.
Background
🤓 In 1658, Brunei ceded Sabah to the Sultanate of Sulu. In the second half of the 19th century, the Sulu Sultanate was gradually controlled by Spain, while Sabah was placed under British protection. The Sultanate of Sulu and the British signed an agreement in 1878 regarding the territory of North Borneo (now Sabah). The word "Pajakan/Lease" was used in the agreement. In the English version, the agreement was that the Sulu Sultanate "ceded" North Borneo to the British, but according to Sulu's claim, the Sulu Sultanate leased North Borneo to the British. U.K. In 1885, Spain gave up its sovereignty over Sabah. But the Philippines claims sovereignty over Sabah.
👉 In 1963, Sabah joined the Federation of Malaysia. At that time, Sabah belonged to Malaysia, but there was a dispute over its sovereignty. Therefore, the Malaysian Embassy in the Philippines will still pay the descendants of the Sultan of Sulu RM5,300 every year, but Malaysia considers this amount to be transfer money, while Sulu considers this amount to be rent.
Consequences
👉 After this incident, Malaysia stopped paying the cession agreement signed on January 22, 1878, which provided for the annual payment of RM5,300 in cession money to the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu.
Epilogue
👉🏽 In July 2019, representatives of the descendants of the former Sulu Sultan sued the Malaysian government first in Spain and then in the French Arbitration Court for US$14.9 billion in compensation.
👉🏽 In February 2022, the French arbitrator awarded Petronas’ two building properties in Luxembourg as compensation.
👉🏽 In July 2023, Malaysia’s appeal was successful.
Thanks for educating us on the history!
That Philippines drug abuser president renamed South China Sea to West Philippines Sea. His father claimed Sabah belongs to the Philippines. Perhaps his next move is to declare the Celebes Sea was South Philippines Sea, and later, Taiwan Straits is North Philippines Sea. Looks like he is still hooked on drugs.
Philippines current president is doing the same thing to China, they are trying to invade our island, I believe we're having a conflict in the future days
My west friend David now you know Why majority Malaysians, including me and my country Malaysia leaderships does not like Philippines too much is because they still work with the same masters that still think of using the Taiwan issues, south china sea issues, Ukraine issues and etc to aim rare minerals inside both three countries which are Malaysia Sabah and Sarawak, china and Russia countries mainland sovereign rights and rare minerals inside the world countries mainland sovereign rights.
Peaceful harmony coexistence with all the world countries is the only way for west.

I asked people : Which nations have real freedom, especially on the geopolitical world stage, China, Australia or Japan? I bet you most dont understand geopolitics and will say Australia or Japan have " more freedom".
Obviously on geopolitical world state, only very few nation (maybe less than 5) has "freedom" as China does.
CHINA of course !!
Japan, South Korea and Australia "Still Have Mister"
Most of people say all U.S. allies have more freedom than China and Russia, because Sleepy Joe and the Western controlled media told them the Chinese and the Russians are governed by the dictators.
China has 92% Han Chinese, Taiwan is 98% Han. Taiwanese is as Chinese as it is. So, Taiwan is truly part of China.
The Taiwanese dialect you spoke about, it is actually the Fujian dialect, all Taiwanese are descendents of immigrants from Fujian, the province in the mainland that sits directly next to Taiwan island.
China's 3rd aircraft carrier is also named Fujian, sending a message to Taiwan, that is certainly not lost to them.
As for the language, both sides of the Straits speak Mandarin and is known colloquailly as Putonghua. The standard Chinese that you say is spoken by the Taiwanese is Mandarin.
The only difference between the Mandarin spoken in China vs Taiwan is not the spoken language itself but the written characters. China's is simplified Chinese while Taiwan uses traditional Chinese. When you want to translate English into Mandarin, Google translate will ask you which you prefer.
This is not to say that the writing characters are different. No, they are the same, except that China's simplified version consists of fewer strokes for simplicity while Taiwan sticks to its traditional writing passed down from a thousand years.

It took the mainland China less than 40 years to reach a high level of modernity, while Taiwan can't reach the same level. Why? Because China is a real independent country, while Taiwan is a U.S. puppet.
US soldier will not die for you. They signed up in the army for financial support and educational advancement. They need the money to support their family and let the army be their sponsor for their education which is needed in their civilian career after leaving the army. They want you to be their cannon fodders. They provide weapons for profits but you do the fighting.

Fun fact: the civil war of China has never called an end from neither sides since 1945, no peace treaty has been signed since then, till today the PRC(Mainland China) claims Taiwan Island and the ROC(Taiwan China) claims the Mainland even Mongolia, so 1949 is not a year of the end of the civil war.
And you might wanna know this, both sides communicate with each other through one special channel by two bureaus, Taiwan Affairs Office of the PRC & Mainland Affairs Council of the ROC, that shows strait affairs is internal affairs, not diplomatic ones.

Le méssage est simple vu les menaces venant des US, des Anglais et de l'UE, le Président Chinois a vite compris que ces pays sont devenus les ennemis de la Chine , les pays cités ne supportant pas que la Chine s'enrichisse et en outre être aussi puissante par ses technologies actuelles et ses Industries en pleine extansion. Sans oublier les rapports d'amitiés avec la Russie mais aussi avec l'Iran, et autres nations affiliées aux Brics.

QUAD is effectively dead since India has belatedly realized that it had joined the Titanic cruise ship.
So, now the US has to create SQUAD to replace QUAD. Very soon, the US will have to invent SQUAT so that it can squat in the South China Sea.

The U.S. could create any alliance it likes, it can't prevent China from defending its territory and sovereignty. China is no more the country of the former Cold War era.

Bonjour , merci beaucoup pour votre travail et votre communication .
Pas de quoi!!!
Dr. David,
How best to answer the paradox that on the one hand the separatists are not supported by the majority but on the other hand the majority keeps on voting them back into power ?
Not even dialects. The same dialect speaks in Taiwan also speaks by people in mainland. More importantly both sides speaks the official dialect which is known as mandarin.
There is no Taiwanese Hokkien, Hokkien is Hokkien, Taiwan IS Hokkien’s.
by 1979 besides the establishment of diplomatic ties btw uS and China what was also important was that China was no longer under any uS econ sanctions imposed since China liberation in 1949 and could therefore pursue opening up n market reforms Howewer it was not until 2001 that china was allowed to join WTO
the word "potatoes" is complicated LOL😜 Most Mainland Mandarin call it Tu dou (though) english direct translation soil (tu) dou ( peanuts/legumes). Diaspora Mandarin call it Ma ling Shu English direct Horse Bell tuberous-root. In Hokkien Tor (Soil) Dao (peanuts/legumes). In Canada, there is also a famous dictator Mr Potatoes aka Tu Dou head 😜🤪
thanks for sharing!!!
I think it would over very quickly . China will rescued them back to mainland of China . Army will occupy the shore of Taiwan
🥔 Potato is commonly called Ground-Nut in mainland china, however in Taiwan dialect , Ground-Nut is the name used for Peanut 🥜.
Q: Why the disturbances in Taiwan "Parliament"?
A: By disrupting the Taiwan "Parliament", DPP hope to stop the Parliament Reform Bill which empower the Parliament to investigate. DPP has lost their majority.
FYI: Taiwan Parliament session stop at about 11:30+pm yesterday, temporary recess and to resume on Tuesday. The government party DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) applying delay tactic request to go through every require procedures to get the Parliamentary Reform Bills purposes pass one section at a time although these proposes were originally theirs but they are delaying them now.
As of yesterday, estimated 2/3 has been passed, the balance next week.
Thanks for the explanation!!
Fujian or Hokkien is probably the oldest language of China. It is widely spoken in southern part of Fujian province, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.
Even in the province of Fujian, Hokkien has tonal variations.
China had given enough time for the taiwanese to return to the mainland.Instead they challenge China with USA support and wanted to be independent.China patience had ran out and its times for the seperaties to face the consequencious.USA will just sit and watch if China invade.For Taiwan a small island they wont put their heads up to be chop off.
The message don’t declare independence .
It would be sensible for the New President Lai of Chinese Taipei to have a peaceful dialogue with Main Land China. A reunification would be so beneficial to all the Chinese people on both sides. I am a 3rd generation Malaysian Chinese and I still love my mother land.
While China does its naval drills, riots are happening in the New-Caledonia, a former French colony which is now an French oversea territory. Most of French politicians accuse foreign plots, including China. This shows no Western country likes any separatism. It's a matter of sovereignty, they said. But they all split many countries in two parts and more, like India (Pakistan and Bangladesh belonged to India), Korea, Ethiopia, Syria (Lebanon is a French made country), and so on. Now, they want to make Taiwan an independent country. China could retaliate, encouraging separatism in the New-Caledonia, in the Falklands, in Northern Ireland, in Puerto Rico, in many U.S. Pacific Islands, and so on.
China is moving faster in science and research because they emphasize on it and not wasting money on wars or proxy wars.
Indeed!!

There are 56 distinctive 56 dialects.
wow!!
The military drill showed quite a lot of information. Let’s look at the situation before Taiwan’s new president Lai’s inauguration speech. Chinese president Xi’s position on Lai’s election has been mild and said as long as both sides agree that they belong to the same race, everything is negotiable. There was no sign of an imminent invasion. Quite a few US officials including Janet Yellen and Antony Blinken visited China. China stressed the importance of Taiwan. US Officials also visited Taiwan. There was telephone communication between Chinese and US officials just before the speech. Before the Taiwan new president inauguration speech, all signs, including a leaked draft, showed that it would be a mild speech that both sides can accept. To China, everything indicated that US would restrict Taiwan not sending provocative messages.
But the actual speech said Taiwan and China are two separate countries that are not affiliated with each other. This is very near to declare independence, which is the red line for the mainland China. I think China was surprised by the event. Foreign minister Wang Yi commented two times on the speech and claimed Lai a traitor of the Chinese nation and ancestors, which was unprecedented. Then within 2 days, military drill started.
The message is not only for Taiwan but also for the US. It indicates that
1. The relationship between Taiwan and mainland China is unrepairable from now on. Military and economic actions will be taken. Remember last year Taiwan had 15 million USD surplus in trade with mainland China due to the fact that China does not have tariff on Taiwan goods.
2. China will not trust the US to mediate China and Taiwan. It is likely that China felt that they were cheated and betrayed by the US. This also means Chinese government will deal with Taiwan directly in the future. The US may lose her influence on China’s Taiwan policy.
The more worrying issue is why this happened on world stage. The sequence of events is :
1. China refused buying US treasury bonds.
2. The US put a lot of pressures and sanctions on China, trying to split China and Russia. (The US was using a wrong way to do this, China will not bent down to external pressure. Negotiation, especially on economic deals, would have a better chance to succeed).
3. Putin visited China and signed a historical agreement for cooperation but not in military.
4. The provocative inauguration speech occurred. It is almost certain that US know this before hand and possibly encouraged Taiwan to do so as a revenge of China-Russia partnership.
This would lead to more intense conflicts between the US and China. The consequence could be beyond Taiwan strait.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! You're spot & couldn't agree more with your assertion. Hope the community gets a chance to read your informative post!!!
The true message isn't just for those troublemaket Taiwanese know only.
Also to let those enemies which keep said supporting Taiwan for indenpendence to know too.
Jiangkaishi didn't establish his government in Taiwan, but fleet to Taiwan with his government (民国 republic China which established in 1921 by Sun Yin Xian with his supporters)。
Once the drills started, every single US carrier and naval assets retreated beyond the 2nd island chain. And this time China did not put an end date so this could be the new geopolitical environment, where Chinese Navy is on constant patrol around Taiwan province. No one separatist traitors getting out, no foreign agents getting in.

Hong Kong is also a hokkien language
Mostly cantonese as major one ,plus other dialects
@@angelasidney3888 The dialect of the language is just normal. Do you know how many languages there are in my country?😀😀😀😀..
@@angelasidney3888 If Hong Kong speaks Cantonese, is Hong Kong independent according to its language?
If I speak English am I definitely a Westerner?
If Westerners can bark, are Westerners dogs?..
