it is high time for some ruling elite to think about patting the asian pet or token player, giving more bones to them, you know crying babe getting more milk or quirking wheels get more oil.
the worst scenario for oversea chinese is that they will be persecuted, then ccp will happily harvest these intelligent heads without a blink of eyes.
then, ruling elite have to hire more indian scholars util someday india become strong enough to be recognized as a trouble, then there will be indian exclusion act, then the chinese will become sexy again, to replace positions left by indians. who are the winners of this game? ccp gov and indian gov.
ray, developed countries are nice but not stupid. so you should advocate your fellow indians to join these evil chinese to share the bones.

I am amused by your statement “pure Han Chinese”.
Are there impure Han Chinese?
I am aware that Huis are there in many countries apart from China, but I am not aware if there are Hans outside China (not talking of overseas Chinese).
Civil disobedience movement? Media distortion? Racial discrimination? Duty as a citizen?
Two points come to mind on your statement above.
1. Where does the loyalty of the Overseas Chinese lie? Are you suggesting Overseas Chinese will defend China over the conscience of the nation of their domicile? Does that not indicate that they are not with the nation of their domicile? I would like to believe that you are wrong. I am aware of many Indian origin US citizens vociferously defending Bush and the War on Iraq when the Indian govt was against the same, and that too, they expressed it openly while in India, going against the popular sentiments!
2. Chinese expatriate protesting against the Protest over the Torch in foreign lands indicates that they are abusing the hospitality of the nation where they are. I think that it is still OK, but then it does go against the highly moralist stand taken by the Chinese about their ancient culture and tradition!
If the ruling elite pat the Asian pet and the Asian pet is ready to be patted, why blame the ruling elite (by which I think you mean the US)? One can’t have one’s cake and eat it too! I find these types of excuses to legitimise one’s own weakness more amusing to say the least!
The CCP is well aware that the Overseas Chinese will not be harassed or persecuted since they live in a democracy and the laws are much superior to the Chinese ones as far as individual rights are concerned.
I fail to understand what has this article to do with India and Indian scholars? It has been written by a CHINESE (the first name appears French and the surname is nowhere near to anything Indian. It is Chinese and India is still not China). The article is Canada centric! And Canada is not India!!
Thank you for your advice that I should advice Indians to join in the share of bones. Legalism still has not visited the Indian mindset. Therefore, it is a non starter; more so, I am not in any position of authority to impose it and our legal system does not allow heavy handed impositions!
Chinese are not evil. The article, written by a Chinese, is suggesting that something sinister is afoot!!
As far as I am concerned, it is for the govts to take note since individuals can only be bystanders and hope for the best!!
I rather leave the bones to you!
I am sure no Chinese or Indian would want them!
