the manchu rulers adopted it to make them less hated

>how

the hair

manchu citizens were forced

is a great example

Pretty much the only example of Manchu cultured forced on the Han was the hair.

that's a pretty big deal actually

one hairstyle to signify submission? pretty big deal

or be executed if you don't

too bad it didn't work

But you seem to imply there was a vast effort on the part of the Manchu to culturally integrate the Han into the Manchu.

I never implied that

The queue was used as a way to enforce Qing authority, nothing more.

never implied

It was not meant to force Manchu culture.

never implied

"they tried to assert themself over Han culture and it failed miserably"

assert, not push their own culture

That actually does imply it.

no it doesn't

It does, but I'm not going to strawman you if that's not what you meant. It's not important.

proselytizing your culture on someone else vs hightening your own are two very different things

It was only meant as a way to root out those willing to submit to Qing authority and those who wouldn't.

exactly, the latter

I never implied the former

Mongolian is better in Cyrillic

All languages should be in Cyrillic imo

Russian looks better in characters

It's the superior way of writing

Давай, товарищ!

不

English is the best. That's why everyone uses it. 👍

不要不要

美国人混蛋啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊

No everyone uses it because the English colonised 1/4 of the world lmao

You keep talking about China and I'm here like #BringBackTheYuanDynasty

Britain didn't colonize China, yet it's used as a business language there.

inb4 hong kong

WOW hong kong

it's a business language because westerners use our manufacturies

It's a lingua franca because Americans kick ass.
