What's New?
23rd August
Well time has flown and lots has happened with my life.
I am now a
proud father and as such site updates have been impacted I'm afraid!
CantoDict is still going strong though and I hope to find time for some useful updates soon.
On a less positive note, we are currently undergoing a spam attack, so please bear with us while we
try and deal with this.

Chen reportedly first began raising money for a Chinese queer art museum six years ago while still living in China, where such a space would likely never be allowed. After coming to the US in 2022 as a visiting scholar at Georgetown University, she later connected with San Francisco's Chinese American arts community through an exhibition at the Asian Art Museum and a residency at the Chinese Culture Center, which helped incubate the museum, per the AP.
According to KTVU, among the featured artists is Hong Kong-born Dixon Ngai, whose work includes a hand-painted porcelain wine pot inspired by Cantonese opera. Ngai said the museum gives Chinese LGBTQ artists a rare opportunity to tell their own stories and allows "more people to see our voice."

[+-]The beginning of this video was recently taken in 2026 in a residential district of Chai Wan, Hong Kong, and you can hear the locals converse inside a Cantonese Roast Meat joint pronounce the word "you" as "nei" and the word "this" as "ni"- and the word for "I" as "ngoh" .

Actually, it's neither. The "proper" pronounciation is "nei", but many people (especially in HK) pronounce it "lei" now.

Democrats are responsible for sanctuary cities that protect and enable criminals therefore democrats are complicit and just as guilty for enabling crime and should go to jail with the fraudsters who should be de-naturalized.

The 2026 World Cup has become far more than a football tournament for Beijing. While China remains absent from the field for the 25th consecutive year, reports emerged that state media were quietly reducing coverage of Lionel Messi. At the same time, a humiliating 0-7 loss to Japan, a battle over broadcasting rights, and the collapse of Chinese World Cup sponsorships have exposed deeper problems. From economic weakness to political insecurity and institutional decay, this World Cup is revealing realities that Beijing would rather keep hidden. Tonight, we examine why a simple game of football has become such an uncomfortable mirror for the Chinese Communist Party.

I don't think the Chinese-American food boycott will last too long because the other popular take out food available is Mexican-American food and farting too much has it limits before the Chinese-American food boycott fails.
