#1 Bad... I know this question is supposed to be obsolete in the year 2021... but where is your wife from in China?

#3 Alright. Part of why I was asking: there's a current theory in vogue in China that a lot of groups in Western and/or Southwestern China and points beyond, like the Tai and related peoples, actually came from Taiwan once upon a time. As in during the 2000-4000 years ago time frame.

I have my doubts about a lot of these alleged facts because I was given to understand that the groups in question are semi-related to the Tibetans and Burmese more than that.

#4 Anyway, I thought the pirates of that place and time period were all a kind of mixture of Japanese and South Chinese outlaws and that the government was trying to fight them by depopulating the entire coastal zone, and that coastal Chinese trying to get away from that were a major driver of Chinese settlement in Taiwan (and the Philipines, and Nanyang (?) further south.

#6 Oh.

I use a plugin that makes everything light text on a dark background, so I wound up thinking that was your commentary. Sorry.

#7 3dc, badanov: if your wives want to weigh in on China, we would be fascinated to hear what they have to say.

#9 Wife has no patience with media of any sort. Maybe I can get her to show me the books the info came from and I can post the titles.

That said if you ever see the various tribes put on a show... culturally it resembles US Indians or Polynesians more than Asian cultures. I have videos but not anonymous ones...

#17 It’s like the day I did the same and had to dump that comment into the Sink Trap, upon which a number of Rantburgers gallantly came to my defense as not deserving such harsh treatment — and I fell in love with you all all over again.

I’m sorry I missed your last while running off doing errands, badanov. I’m not good at privacy myself, so I forget to think about it for others.
