I hate reading about all this stuff that "the Chinese are our future overlords". That's a pessimistic view, and only if most non-Chinese have such an attitude, will they become our overlords. China is a superpower with growing strength, but so is India, which will eventually have a higher population and nominal GDP than China. China won't rule over the USA and Europe, just like the USA doesn't rule over Latin America today.

But I do understand that China will be the most influential superpower for decades and I do understand the need to learn more about China.

India will have a higher population than China by 2024, but India is nowhere near the nominal GDP of China and most likely won't be for at least this century. I don't view more population as a good thing either, since overpopulation means pollution and a lack of resources... However, I agree some people exaggerate the power of China

Aug 28, 2015
They did. Technically they are both "Shan Xi" when romanized, but in Chinese the characters, pronunciation, and names of the provinces are different. 山西 (Shan1xi1) means west of the mountains, and 陕西 (Shan3xi1) means west of 陕 which was a famous area in ancient times.

China changed the latter to Shaanxi so the western world wouldn't be confused with two Shanxi's.

If you know your Chinese directions, you can work your way around: dong (east), nan (south), xi (west), bei (north). So Hebei is north of Henan... Guangxi is west of Guangdong... Hunan is south of Hubei.

Tibet, Uyghur and Inner Mongolia should be free of China's autocratic rule. Tibet and Uyghur should have independence and form their own states. Inner Mongolia should join with Mongolia.

Even Hong Kong should become independent.

Inner Mongolia should join with Mongolia.

Then Mongolia would be a Han-majority country. I don't know why you would ever want to do this. Just because the region has Mongolia in its English name, doesn't mean it should belong to Mongolia.

Even Hong Kong should become independent.

From Wikipedia: According to a survey conducted by the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute in December 2019, one-fifth of Hong Kong's population supported Hong Kong independence, while 56% of Hongkongers opposed it.

Personally I think Westerners should stop trying to dictate the future of people in countries they know barely anything about.

Inner Mongolia refers to a geographical region, and Mongolians only make up 17% of its 24 million people. Mongolia is 95% Mongolian and has 3 million people. Joined together, the new Mongolia would be majority Han. Not a very Mongolian state, right?

Level 82
Feb 16, 2020
In the case of some, the names actually give clues. Remember 'nan' is south and 'bei' is north. So Hebei is directly above Henan. Hubei is directly above Hunan. If you start with the knowledge that Beijing is surrounded by Hebei and know all the H-bei/nan provinces are in a line, it makes it easy to get them. It's the same as in the city names (Beijing is 'north capital', while Nanjing is 'south capital'). There's also 'dong' and 'xi, which are east and west respectively - hence Guangdong is immediately east of Guangxi.

Manchuria is a huge region, yes, but not a province. It encompasses three entire provinces, parts of Inner Mongolia, and parts of the Russian far-east known as Outer Manchuria.

After WW2 with the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo, I doubt China would be too fond of that memory.
