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.

Re: Circumventing China's Exit Ban 02:07 by ♭♫

China has quietly introduced new regulations that dramatically expand the government's power to stop citizens from leaving the country. Having a passport, visa, and plane ticket may no longer be enough. Authorities can now scrutinize your travel purpose, electronic data, overseas activities, and even technology-related work before deciding whether you can leave.
In this video, I explain how these new rules expand China's exit-ban system, why they represent a major shift toward greater state control, and why I believe they mark another step toward what I call "West Korea."

Madame Ching pulled off more than I was expecting. Some dishes really push my boundaries on fusion, while others more than impressed in delivering robust flavors. My top three: Skewered Up pork-and-shrimp cake wrapped in tofu skin, Big Catch lobster curry, and Smoking Gun smoked chicken.

[+-]When the Chinese Exclusion Act became effective, the ethnic-Chinese never left San Francisco yet we could not make a living in fishing anymore, build generational wealth, nor grow political influence compared to who replaced us in a local industry that we founded.

With so many jobs shutting out the ethnic-Chinese including industries that they themselves founded such as fisheries and agriculture etc ... and then were taken away through laws and regulations and then purposely given to European immigrants on a silver platter which we now see happening today in NYC by socialists-Democrats class warfare... How else were the ethnic-Chinese going to make a living and feed their families?

“Our families dealt with opium and prostitution, because that’s just what they did,” Lung said. “But whites would come through because they saw Chinatown as exotic and mysterious, and they liked the opium and gambling and prostitution and spectacular fireworks and focus on food. They were giving it that reputation themselves.”

The British ruled Hong Kong for 156 years. During this period, before the sun finally set on the colony, the way Hong Kong ate had radically changed. Milk tea became a staple for cooling down, egg tarts were the sweet treat of choice, and British-style breakfast was abundant. This is how Hong Kong still eats like the British do today.
In this episode, Kieran and Rubin delve deep into the cha chaan tengs in Hong Kong’s bustling Tsim Sha Tsui district, exploring local staples we know today that have origins thousands of miles away.

[+-]Why do Blue-cities need to revitalize Chinatown after all the local Chinese were forced to leave Chinatown when Chinatown originally did not need revitalization when it was home to a large ecosystem of local Chinese? Nick Shirley, please follow the money trail to see which politicians got fat at the expense of forcing the local Chinese out.
