China is a unified multi-ethnic country, with 56 nationalities living on The territory of China, and the coexistence between various nationalities is also very harmonious. But you may not know that in one of our Chinese cities, there is a relatively special ethnic group that has lived in China for more than 400 years, holding Chinese nationality, but does not recognize themselves as Chinese.
For the Qing Dynasty, I believe that the small partners will have a lot of different views, but the most should be more hateful, signed a lot of unequal treaties, so that our land lost a lot. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Western powers opened the door to China and began the idea of Western colonization.
In fact, such a thing as early as the Ming Dynasty, there was already such a situation, when the most powerful country in the world was Portugal, after the opening of the new sea route, Portugal has always wanted to find a more suitable place in Asia to start its colony, in 1553, it chose Macau.
Even in Macau, which was chosen at that time, the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, and they could not blatantly take over such land, and the Ming Dynasty would not be willing to give it, so only a small number of people entered Macao to live. However, with the continuous development of time, the Ming Dynasty also began to decline slowly.
Therefore, portugal began to occupy Macau in a big way, but it was not so comfortable in their hearts, because the Chinese government did not recognize and gave them legal encroachment, and after signing many unequal treaties with the Qing government, Macau became a legitimate colony of Portugal.
Later, with the continuous decline of Portugal, the management of Macao was not so strict, more weak, after the founding of New China, Macau broke out against the colonists, until 1999, Macao returned. Portugal has lived on our small land of China for more than 400 years, whether it is living habits or whatever, it has been Sinicized.
There are still about 10,000 Portuguese living in Macao today, although they have lived on this land since they were young, holding Chinese nationality and passports, but they do not recognize themselves as Chinese, so for them, in the small land of Macao, life is not so smooth, the situation is getting worse and worse.
I don't know how you think about such a thing?
They have lived in China for 400 years, holding Chinese nationality, but do not recognize themselves as Chinese.
