Wednesday, February 27, 2013. What if China and Japan's recent tensions escapated to a war? Relations between China and Japan normally aren't the best, as I'm sure you're aware and recent territorial disputes haven't exactly helped matters. But what would be the global economic impact if the dispute over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands. Were to turn into a full-blown war? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

British-born Chinese Blog: January 2013

http://british-chinese.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 14, 2013. Funny Chinese Person alert! His name is Joe Wong and he's very funny. Check out the two videos below. The first is a joke-packed monologue at an American gala dinner and is notable as much for the funny gags as for the slightly suspicious reactions of some in the audience. The second is a shorter appearance on the 'Ellen' chat show. Both are very amusing. See what you think. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Past, present and future from a 'B.B.C.' point of view.

British-born Chinese Blog: The Battle of Hong Kong

http://british-chinese.blogspot.com/2006/12/battle-of-hong-kong.html

Saturday, December 02, 2006. The Battle of Hong Kong. November 12th 2006 was Remembrance Sunday - the day Britain remembers its war dead and pays tribute to those who lost their lives in past conflicts. Having been brought up the U.K., I was taught a lot about WWII at school and of course U.K. popular culture has covered those events extensively in films and television programmes. Surprising fact no. 1: Japanese forces launched their attack on Hong Kong less than 8 hours after they bombed Pearl Harbor.

British-born Chinese Blog: Side-by-Side: Geography Special!

http://british-chinese.blogspot.com/2012/09/side-by-side-geography-special.html

Thursday, September 06, 2012. This is a slightly different and more complicated Side-by-Side and has taken quite a bit longer to put together. As a bbc who has lived most of his life in London and spent some time in HK, I am fairly familiar with the geography of both places (more so with London than with HK). What I didn't have was any sense of how one place related to the other in terms of scale and distance. What would be the equivalent journey in London? If you place Sheung Wan MTR station (over in we...

British-born Chinese Blog: 'Banana in a Nutshell' - Can Chinese parents still love you if they do things that upset you?

http://british-chinese.blogspot.com/2007/11/banana-in-nutshell-can-chinese-parents.html

Tuesday, November 06, 2007. Banana in a Nutshell' - Can Chinese parents still love you if they do things that upset you? I've been meaning to post about this for a while. Banana in a Nutshell is a short film that I saw on a plane (in fact, I think it was a flight to HK) and I thought it was a really interesting short film that quite a few bbcs can relate to. It's a documentary about a young New Zealand Chinese (NZBC? Yet why would they have worked so hard to provide for her, if not out of love? As for my...

British-born Chinese Blog: Old Hong Kong ID cards to become invalid

http://british-chinese.blogspot.com/2006/12/old-hong-kong-id-cards-to-become.html

Sunday, December 17, 2006. Old Hong Kong ID cards to become invalid. A quick reminder for anyone who still hasn't changed their old HK ID cards to the new Smart ID cards with the chip inside: Please hurry up and do so before your card becomes invalid! Old ID cards for people born between 1943 and 1969 are already invalid. The next batch to become invalid hasn't yet been announced but it will almost certainly affect 'bbcs' born in the 70s. Official government info is here. Was that your Hong Kong ID card?

British-born Chinese Blog: 'Low Budget Lead' - a bbc short film!

http://british-chinese.blogspot.com/2012/08/low-budget-lead-bbc-short-film.html

Sunday, August 26, 2012. Low Budget Lead' - a bbc short film! Hi all. First of all apologies for the lack of recent posts. I have been incredibly busy but rest assured the blog is not forgotten and I hope to have some more interesting posts to come very soon (including another side-by-side). What prompted this sudden return to the blog? A short film, that's what! Considering it was made without any budget, by Jason on his own, it's an impressive achievement. It blends multiple aspects of Jason's life...
