I know that Lhasa is nominally a part of China due to the Chinese invasion and genocide of the Tibetan people, but perhaps we could use a different clue?

Wow, that's so brainwashed. My Tibetan (yes, Tibetan, not Han) friends beg to differ, but hey, they only live there :D

My partner (who is Han) says that the general reasoning behind China hanging on to Tibet is that allowing the region autonomy would result in a theocratic country, ruled by the Dalai Lama. So, it seems it's not so much the greed of wanting more land and control as it is the national Chinese opposition to organized religion, especially in the form of a policy-dictating theocracy.

Well, the PRC has interesting ways of justifying lots of things. Uighur nationalism (or just about any expression of Uighur identity) is now defined as terrorism. I'll grant that in '49 and '50, more things were done for predominantly ideological reasons, but the Chinese government is pretty damned interested in geopolitics, including access to resources and trade routes - and to the stifling of dissent, particularly among ethnic minorities who might be able to challenge a public management style that comes pretty close to a form of political theocracy - if such a term makes sense.

Duh, the Japanese just learned the Chinese writing system 1400 years ago and created a writing system that is Japanese characters based on Chinese characters .......

No one is a thief in this regard, and traditional Japanese culture is a student of traditional Chinese culture.

The word you're looking for is "Hanzi."

Hanji is how Japanese people refer Chinese characters. And also kanji is Japanese like hiragana and katakana

As a Chinese person, when on Earth will you accept "changjiang" for "yangtze," as that is actually what we call it here? I've brought this up in several places.

It's an English-language quiz, so probably not in the near future, maybe never. Feel free to make a Chinese-language quiz on that topic!

This reply is both rude and dismissive. Yes, it is an English language quiz and Chiangjiang is an alternative English answer. Just google it.

Yangtze is an antiquated spelling of a name which refers to only part of the river. Yangzi, is slightly better, Changjiang more so.

For the last question, perhaps using "mythical creature" would be more accurate than "animal" to refer to a dragon.

Level 44
Apr 25, 2021
They should make you write dragon, not animal or mythical creature

I could be mistaken, but as far as I knew China was mostly secular. Buddhism could identify more with India (its hearth) or Japan (there are more Buddhists there than in China).

Please accept Yangzi. This is the correct spelling according to the modem ‘pinyin’ romanization. Yangtze is based on the Wade Giles form of romanization which hasn’t been used in mainland China since the 1950s.

Just me, but I'd probably switch out Buddhism for Confucianism or Taoism. Buddhism came from India.
