A Brief History of Chinese Immigrants: Taishan
Did you know that most immigrants from China came from a small little city called Taishan? Approximately 1.3 million Taishanese live worldwide while about 1 million live within the city itself. This extreme contrast makes Taishan one of the highest producers of foreign Chinese residents in the world. They introduced many things we think of such as Chop Suey and Foo Young Eggs. Yet their story is not often told. Learn more about this interesting part of Sino-American history and look inside the Taishan Museum in this video.
China: Thousands flood Guangzhou station amid Spring Festival travel rush
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
Thousands of people arrived and departed through the Guangzhou South railway station in Guangzhou on Sunday, as people across China started journeying back home for Chinese New Year (also known as Spring Festival or Lunar New Year).
The Spring Festival travel rush began on January 21, with around three billion trips expected to be made between January 21 and March 1 in what is believed to be the country's largest seasonal migration.
Footage shows travellers flooding the Guangzhou station, one of the country's busiest high-speed train stations.
Chinese New Year falls on February 5 this year.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CITIES IN CHINA BUSINESS WISE !
Guangzhou is a harbor city, with a favorable coastal position and beautiful mountains surrounding it, an equatorial climate and a thriving economy. Many expats have been moving to Guangzhou, creating thus an international and welcoming atmosphere.
About the City
Nestled in the southeastern corner of China, in the province of Guandong, lies the city of Guangzhou. Guangzhou’s coastal location makes it an ideal port for international trading and transportation. It is China’s third largest city, with an estimated population of 13 million, and its proximity to Hong Kong and Macau has given Guangzhou the opportunity to become a hub of international business in China. Guangzhou is still a big source of China’s manufacturing industry, and because of this, the pollution can be especially bad here, especially when the breeze from the Pearl River slows down. The levels of pollution can be a shock for expatriates moving to Guangzhou and will vary from day to day, but escaping the confines of the city on the weekends is very easy, thanks to great transport links to the surrounding areas.
The Climate in Guangzhou
Guangzhou’s proximity to the equator means hot, wet summers which are very humid. For foreigners, the winters are a lot more manageable, as the summers can be very unforgiving to people who are not used to such high temperatures. Monsoon season runs from April right through to September, with rainfall at its highest from May to July. The rest of the year is a lot more dry, however, and temperatures rarely drop below 10°C through the winter, and even temperatures this low are very rare.
Finding Accommodation
Guangzhou is split into ten main districts, with the three city center districts, Yuexiu, Liwan and Tianhe acting as hubs for business, shopping and entertainment, such as the Central Library, the Opera House and the Guangdong Museum. Expatriates moving to Guangzhou will find that these areas are very expensive to live in, and rental prices are very high. Fortunately, getting into the city center from the outskirts of the city is very easy in Guangzhou, so the outlying districts of Haizhu, Panyu and Baiyan are ideal locations for finding accommodation. Panyu is particularly popular for expatriates moving to the city. The further out from the city center you go, the more prices will drop, but do not expect the prices to be as cheap as in the west of China. This is due to the fact that Guangzhou is one of China’s most prosperous cities, and therefore it is a very desirable place for expats and Chinese people to reside.

HUGE Chinese MEGA Cities!
China seems to becoming more and more powerful each and every day and it seems as though they’re beginning to get the upper hand when it comes to thriving cities. They’ve shown that they’re capable of building taller skyscrapers than ever before with many of their cities having a population well over 10 million people. From the city where they probably made it in china, to a populated area as big as austria, here unbelievable chinese mega cities!
Subscribe to American Eye
6.Tianjin
Considered to be the censorship capital of the world, China’s internet information and social media providers outsource their work from Beijing to Tianjin to reduce costs. This labor intensive job has given the city a lot of work which allows for many workers to move to town. It’s also considered to be very diverse for a Chinese city that includes minorities such as the Koreans, Mongols, and Manchu People. Located in Northern China, there’ s an estimated 12 million inhabitantsand is the 4th largest city in the world. For a long period of time, it was ruled for foreign imperialists until many anticaptials began to seize control in the early 1900’s. In modern times, it’s bustling metropolis with people comparing it to China's Manhattan.
5.Shenzhen
Another massive city in southern China, Shenzhen maintains close ties to their cantonese neighbors in Hong Kong. They are however, gaining the economical advantage as they’ve recently surpassed Singapore and Hong Kong in GDP growth recently. They are also taught to embrace things about capitalism yet still under the guise of socialism with Chinese Characteristics. Tourism is begining to boom in the area as more and Chinese begin to gain expendable income. Some have considered it to be in the top 10 places to visit in 2019. With a population of about 12.5 million, it’s easily on our list as a chinese mega city.
4.Guangzhou guang-jo
Located not too far away from shenzhen is another metropolis located on the pearl river that’s the capital and most populous city of Guangdong province in southern China and that’s Guangzhou. With an estimated 14.9 million people, many residents from Southeast asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa flock to Guangdzhou to make it a global city. A seemingly unknown opera house in the city of Guangzhou was completed in 2010 which cost over 200 million dollars to construct.The theater became the biggest performing center in southern China and shows the dedication to China’s growing arts program.This unique building as been praised by critics around the world for its unique modern look and its contribution to the city’s skyline. It’s also well known for the Canton Tower which soars 1900 feet into the sky which made it the tallest building in China until 2013.
3.Beijing
You better believe the capital of China is going to make our list with roughly 21 million residents. It’s home to the Forbidden City which is possibly the most iconic palace in all of Asia. The Forbidden City was built from 1406 to 1420 as the imperial palace of the Ming dynasty all the way until the Qing dynasty in 1912. The cultural architecture displayed here has made it an extremely important historical site and is now home to a museum which 14 million tourists visit each year to see the priceless artifacts such as porcelain vases from the ming dynasty. Make sure you grab yourself some peking duck and enjoy the large variety chinese food here. Expats have given rave reviews about living here saying it’s not as dangerous or crowded as people think. Air pollution though can get a bit out of control on some days which result in people wearing surgical masks, especially during “red alerts”.
2.Shanghai
About 20 years ago, Shanghai was a large city but still somewhat lacking a modern infrastructure. In 1964, there was a meager population of only 10.8 million people but with China's emerging economy, it’s now the largest city in China with a population of 26 million! It’s going to have some pretty cool new modern structures. When buildings are normally covered up in clouds, you know they are getting pretty tall. The shanghai financial center is the 9th tallest completed building in the world scraping the skies at 1,614 feet tall. What’s also impressive about this is that most of it is a complete building, with rooms from the bottom to the top. Construction on this, took 10 years and was officially opened in 2008. You gotta wonder if they’re trying to see what Americans are up to from all the way up there. The shanghai stock exchange is also starting to have increasing influence over the global capital market . It doesn’t really seem like american cities are keeping up with China’s and we could be in some big trouble if we don’t start to advance

China Man in deep night slam and ham japan brand cars just to show so called patriotism
Chinese protesters took to street outside the Japanese embassy in Beijing on Saturday amid escalating tensions between the two nations over the Diaoyu Islands.
On the same day, more than 70,000 people across China took part in anti-Japan protest, the biggest of its kind since the normalization of China-Japan relations in 1972.
In Guangzhou, dozens of locals protested nearby the Japanese consulate while chanting slogans of boycotting Japanese goods and singing the Chinese national anthem. More and more pedestrians came joining them, which led to crashes between the police and the protesters as the police tried to disperse the crowds.
In Dongguan, another city in Guangdong province whose economy is mainly driven by foreign investment, over a thousand people took to street in protest. Several Japanese restaurants were vandalized.
In Changsha, Hunan Province, droves of local residents gathered in the street high holding flags and banners which read protesting against Japan's infringement on China's sovereignty. Some overturned Japanese cars; some broke into and looted shopping malls run by Japanese or just with Japanese names; some even committed arson on streets.
Likewise, in Qingdao, Shangdong province, protesters smashed glasses of Japan-funded department stores, broke in, vandalized and looted them. Some Japanese factories were set fire by some outrageous locals.
On the one hand, it is quite encouraging to see the fellow countrymen stand out when the country is undergoing a rough time.
On the other, it is also disturbing to see patriotic acts going sour as violation of law occurs, which subjects the patriotism to humiliation.
On August 19, when people in Shenzhen, a south China's city, waged an anti-Japanese protest, a few individuals went so far as to smash others' cars of Japanese brands, and some even instigate citizens to attack police cars.
According to the local police, four of them have been arrested with charges of attempted damage of others' properties and aggravated assault upon others.
Expression of patriotism can win the public applause, but not violence.
These smashed Japanese-brand vehicles are actually part of Chinese possessions and thus are under protection of Chinese laws as the personal property.
Clearly, damage of the kind will only hurt the Chinese compatriots. Unfortunately, it is still fresh in our memory that similar damage also happened in the so-called patriotic actions back in 2005 and 2008, which only spelt unrest to the Chinese society.
Only a handful of trouble makers could, sometimes, overshadow the otherwise righteous expression of the public indignation.
Naturally when China's sovereignty is trampled upon, we, as the conscientious Chinese, have the responsibility t to stand up for the national interest, but only in a lawful manner.
Both property of the Chinese and safety of the Japanese working and living in China are all under protection of the Chinese law. Thus, crossing the red line would only dent our national image.

???????? What's it like being black in China? | The Stream
In recent years China has made sweeping forays into parts of the world where economic and diplomatic opportunities abound, not least the African continent. Meanwhile, China has long attracted African migrants seeking to make their fortune, with the port city of Guangzhou a particularly compelling destination for people hoping to run lucrative businesses.
But now the long-term future of Guangzhou’s ‘Little Africa’ looks shaky amid an ongoing immigration crackdown focusing heavily on those from Africa. Visa requirements for people from African nations are more stringent than for those from other parts of the world, and often confusingly applied - leaving many in legal limbo.
Many Africans say xenophobia is at the root of the immigration clampdown and that it is another facet of the everyday racism they face in China. The racial abuse that black people in China face runs the gamut - from being merely tolerated by disgruntled local people, through being actively marginalised or seen as ‘exotic’, to the extremes of being called ‘dirty’ and ‘diseased’.
Black people from countries beyond Africa have also faced discrimination in major tourist destinations such as Beijing and Shanghai. Unwelcome stares, being pointed at, demands for photographs are a common experience. In some instances, black people have been prodded and touched without being asked, as if a curiosity. Meanwhile, the representation of black people within Chinese media remains problematic. Racist caricature within advertisements, television programming and art exhibitions has arrested attempts to foster inclusivity.
How can China make the experience of black visitors and residents more positive? We’ll ask that question in The Stream.

中國吃辣史 the History of Chili in China
400年前，辣椒第一次進入中國，第一個百年，它只作觀賞，隨後逐漸被廣泛食用。到目前為止，中國吃辣人口5億，但沒幾個人知道它還有性隱喻。這個有趣的事實被廣州人曹雨發現，因為好奇華南和西南山區為什麽那麽能吃辣，他花5年時間研究，寫出一本《中國食辣史》。
400 years ago, chili was first introduced to China. In the first century, it was grown only as an ornamental plant. Later it gradually became a type of food. By now there’re 500 million people having chili in China, but few of them know chili was used as a sexual metaphor. The interesting fact was found by Caoyu, a Cantonese. Out of his curiosity, he spent 5 years studying why people in the southern and southwestern part of China love chili so much and wrote a book named the History of Chili in China.

15 Landmarks Stolen By The Chinese
From the Florentia Village in Wuging, to the famous Eiffel Tower in Hangzhou, here are 15 Landmarks Stolen By The Chinese.
Subscribe to Hectic Express
#7 - Florentia Village Replicated in Wuqing, China
In what used to be former corn fields now sits a replica of Florentia Village complete with Italian style architecture and bridges. The Village was the first authentic Italian luxury outlet in southern China. The idea was created and funded by the Silk Road Holdings company who wanted to bring more tourism and profit back to the Silk Road. The Florentia Village houses over 60 top international retailers such as Armani, Calvin Klein, Coach, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, and Versace.
#6 - The White House Replicated in Beijing
Nestled between replicas of the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument sits the White House. Although you won’t find any United States presidents residing within, you can see this historic landmark along with over 100 other famous landmarks in Beijing’s World Park. Beijing’s World Park is a theme park set on showing its residents the best parts of the world without them ever having to leave Beijing. The park opened in 1993 and is visited by 1.5 million people each year.
#5 - St. Peter’s Basilica Replicated in Nikko, Japan
Although you can find the original in Vatican City in Italy, you can find a smaller scaled version along with 101 additional small-scaled replicas of famous architectural and historical sites at the Tobu World Square theme park in Nikko, Japan. Each site has been replicated at a 1/25 scale, and the models are complete with 140,000 fake adoring spectators.
#4 - Egypt’s Karnak Temple Replicated in Wuhan, China
The real Karnak Temple was the largest religious building ever made, and in its prime, it covered about 200 acres of land. The Hypostyle Hall is 54,000 square feet, features 134 columns and is still the single largest room of any religious building in the world. The ancient Egyptians believed that at the end of the annual agricultural cycle, the gods as well as the earth became weary and had to have their energy source renewed. To accomplish this, the Egyptian people celebrated for 27 days in what is called the Opet Festival. The festival, which was held at Karnak and Luxor each year, celebrated the link between the pharaoh and the god Amun.
#3 - The Austrian Town of Hallstatt Replicated in Guangdong, China
China spent over $940 million to replicate this UNESCO World Heritage-listed Alpine village in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong. The Austrian town is surrounded by Western-style housing which was intended to act as a beacon for the rich from the neighboring Guangzhou and Shenzhen cities. In order to recreate an entire town, seemingly brick from brick, Chinese architects visited Hallstatt in secret, and they measured, photographed, and made blueprints of each and every section of the town. The entire project was kept secret until 2011 when a careless architect left a copycat blueprint for the clone city in a Hallstatt hotel.
#2 - The Louvre Replicated in the Chongqing Municipality
The Louvre in Paris, France is the largest museum in the world and the central landmark of the city. Nearly 35,000 objects dated from prehistoric times to present day are on display for the 9 million annual visitors that come to see the spectacles. The Louvre was originally constructed as a fortress under Philip II. Due to the rapid expanse of the city, the Louvre eventually lost its defensive function and was converted into the main residence of the French Kings in 1546. It wasn’t until 1692, when King Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles to be his home, that the Louvre started to become what is it today, a museum. The fake version, which was created by a Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei, looks like a gloomy small-scaled model of the real deal.
#1 - The Eiffel Tower Replicated in Hangzhou
In the Eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, you can find a real estate development, called Tianducheng, which is modeled after the city of Paris, right down to the replica of the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower replica is scaled down to be a third of the size of the real one, but it is still big enough to cause discomfort with the city’s citizens. Rachel Ni, a resident that moved into the development over six years ago, says, “I think it’s a little strange, I don’t like it here.” She, like most other citizens, wish the fake landmark would be removed. Most of the apartments are empty, and few shops and markets are open for business. Laundry adorns almost every tree branch as well as any other hangable surface around the development which doesn’t add to the charm. The shrubbery is left unkept, and the fountains have run dry for years. Even though the city resembles a semi-ghost town, the residents continue to live here because it is among some of the cheapest living for people residing in Hangzhou.
Chinese American Genealogy
Live broadcast: 1/21/2016
Presented by: Alice Kane
Chinese-American family history research can be conducted using standard genealogical resources such as censuses, city directories, and land transactions. There are, however, other resources that can be especially helpful, such as grave markers, records produced from the Chinese Exclusion Acts, and jiapu (collected family histories). Join Alice Kane to learn what resources are available and to gain a better understanding of the Chinese experience in America during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Guangzhou
Guangzhou (Chinese: 广州, literally wide state) (former common romanisation: Canton; less-commonly known as Kwangchow) is the capital and largest city of Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Located on the Pearl River, about 120 km (75 mi) north-northwest of Hong Kong and north-northeast of Macau, Guangzhou is a key national transportation hub and trading port. One of the five National Central Cities, it holds sub-provincial administrative status.
Guangzhou is the third largest Chinese city and southern China's largest city. As of the 2010 census, the city's administrative area had a population of 12.78 million, making itself the most populous city in South China. Some estimates place the population of the entire Pearl River Delta Mega City built up area as high as 40 million including Shenzhen (10.36 million), Dongguan (8.22 million) and most parts of Foshan (7.19 million), Jiangmen (4.45 million), Zhongshan (3.12 million) and a small part of Huizhou adjoining Dongguan and Shenzhen, with an area of about 20,000 square kilometres (7,700 sq mi). In 2008 Guangzhou was identified as a Beta World City by the global city index produced by the GaWC, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.

Discovering the Soul of Shenzhen
In February 2012, my fiancé, Bob James, was invited to attend a two-day meeting in Shenzhen China and I went along. Given an English-speaking, informal guide from the company while he worked; she, her friend, and I had an amazing cultural exchange, visiting sights and discussing everything from parenting to travel to some of our governments' policies. In Angel, I found a truly lovely, well-spoken, and progressive friend.
In 1979, economic and social revolutionary Deng Xiaoping created Shenzhen as China's first Special Economic Zone in what, at the time, was a small fishing village. With a policy of openness and reform, it has enjoyed much foreign investment and great economic prosperity, the likes of which are rare in china—and its inhabitants just as rare.
Because it is known as a center of manufacturing and business, and lacks much in the way of historic sights (although it does have a plethora of newly-built eccentric theme-parks!), Shenzhen is often skipped by international tourists.
With all the steel, concrete, and construction cranes everywhere, I set out to answer the question, what does the soul of this young city look like? and I found it—in the beautiful Feng Shui and it's lovely, dynamic, proud people.
Here Angel and Terry (their chosen Western-names) show me the Feng Shui design of the city center. The truly ENORMOUS scale of this city is lost in the video. We could not even read the numbers on the cones until I turned on the video camera.... I hope you enjoy discovering this as much as I did and perhaps one day see it for yourself some time!
