The only country that "assimilated" Chinese: 8 million Chinese in china, who can't speak simple Chinese
As we all know, China has a population of 1.4 billion, Thailand has nearly 8 million Chinese, this population accounts for 30% of the total population of Thailand, even the tour guide himself said that his ancestors were Chinese.
But what is surprising is that Thailand, which has 8 million Chinese, these Chinese can not even speak some simple Chinese, it can be said that Thailand is the only country that "assimilates" Chinese, even Chinese in other countries in Southeast Asia, will speak fluent Chinese.
Why are Chinese in Thailand assimilated and can't even speak Chinese? The words of the tour guide made people feel bitter, it turned out that the Chinese who had come to Thailand before, after three generations of integration, they gradually gave up the Chinese language and learned the local Thai language, plus after the death of the older generation of Chinese, they did not even learn the most basic Chinese.
In this way, these Chinese living in Thailand are no different from the local Thais, but there are many Chinese architectural cultures that have been preserved, but there are also "Thais" in China, they are the Dai people of Yunnan, and their language and living customs are no different from Thailand.
Maybe it's the fusion of cultures. According to statistics, more than 40% of Thailand's economy is contributed by Chinese, so the status of Chinese in Thailand is very high. For this country that only "assimilates" Chinese, what do netizens think?
