Talk:Chinatowns in Asia

Old talk

I think there should be some work on spelling in this article. Especially, "Urinals town," should, I think, be Ural town. Uralian town? Urinal is not, I think, a usual adjective for the "Ural Mountains"

More old talk

I am slightly disturbed and curious as to who wrote the phrase The overseas Chinese have suffered from de jure institutionalized discrimination by several governments and local populations, particularly in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, Indonesia under President Suharto, Malaysia and the Vietnam communist government... where Malaysia is also included in this list. There is absolutely no substantial proof whatsoever to support this claim as this country's racial unity is the pride of the country and the admiration by other nations. No specific abuse has ever been aimed at the Chinese in Malaysia throughout the years by any other races in this country as opposed to conditions elsewhere (evidenced particularly in Indonesia). I hope that the author of these lines would agree with my opinion -- Arthur

Racism does not have to be physical abuse. See Affirmative_action#Malaysia. I put Malaysia back because the bumiputra laws do discriminate against Chinese. — J3ff 04:40, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Of course, if you're the dominant group and in power, you'll say there is no discrimination. Race relations, I say, are fairly superficial in Malaysia and elsewhere.

Strange Name

kitaiskii gorodok (Китайский Городок) almost have similiarty with indonesia name Glodok for chinatown. any know what the meaning gorodok and glodok?Daimond 14:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

No connection, unless Indonesian draws on Russian for vocabulary. Gorodok is the diminutive for "gorod" (fortress), and you'll also see the etymologically-related "grad", e.g. Novgorod, Stalingrad. Gorodok is more like a fortified town, I think, than a fortified city; someone from WP:Russia could answer that better (now linked in the templates at the top fo this page).Skookum1 (talk) 16:08, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Malaysia

For "The population of the Chinatown in the city of Penang is mainly Hokkien Chinese. One of the biggest Chinatown in the world", if Penang and Malacca still called "Chinatown", the biggest Chinatown in the world is Taipei, because Taiwan is not a part of China.

Malaysian section edited. Also, see definition of Chinatown here : "A Chinatown is a section of an urban area with a large number of Chinese outside the majority-Chinese countries of Greater China". Greater China = PRC + ROC + HK + Macau. --Anggerik (talk) 21:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
