Qin Mufeng: Chinese people are always ＂rejected＂ by Canadian politics?

Author: Qin Mufeng

Within a few months, the Federal Election of Canada is about to begin again.As in the past two years, any of the conditions when there are local elections, the slogans that support Chinese people to participate in politics, actively vote, and the Chinese are united.

According to the statistics and predictions of the Canadian Bureau of Statistics, the Chinese population in the Greater Vancouver region in 2019 is 475,000, and this number will increase to 800,000 by 2031, accounting for 23%of the total population of the Greater Vancouver region. Among themEssenceThis situation was completely dare not think about ten years ago.

As a Chinese in Canada for ten years, the author can clearly feel that due to the special cultural factors and social inclusiveness of Canada, the status of Chinese people in Canada is much higher than its position in the United States and many European and American countries.When the population comes up, the status comes up, and naturally it will strengthen social influence.However, no matter in any country, if you want to have social influence, in addition to being rich, there must be power, and Chinese politicians, especially Chinese politicians on the background of the mainland, occupy in politics.The proportion.This is why the voice of encouraging Chinese people to participate in politics has become increasingly loud in the Canadian Chinese community in recent years.

It's just that there are more and more Chinese candidates on the mainland background, but there are very few superiors.If you discuss the reasons, the main thing is that when they strive to go upstream, they do not really understand the basic game rules of Canada's participation in politics, let alone play the rules like senior politicians from the natives.Available.Therefore, the thunderous rains often returned and even went out by the political circle.

The ethnic traps in the campaign slogan

Some time ago, a constituency in the Greater Vancouver region made up for the Federal National Council members. In fact, this is just a simple scene for the Federal Kuomintang's new party leader.See who can lose more decent.When everyone is more optimistic about an old politician who is a Chinese background of Hong Kong, this cannon fodder is unexpectedly won by Ms. W from the mainland.

From the perspective of the history of Chinese descent, Ms. W is undoubtedly successful: when I first came to Vancouver, I had nothing to work hard through hardships. Now she has become the founder of several young children's daily care centers, plus Ms. W in Chinese tradition in ChinaThe drama is quite true in the family, so it is also a little famous in the Chinese circle.

However, when she was running for provincial members two years ago, a series of behaviors of Ms. W reflecting her naive mdash; mdash; she was keen to send the chicken soup paragraph or chicken in the WeChat circle of friends and WeChat groups every day.The blood slogan came to the voting, and emphasized that if I was elected, I was the first person in the BC mainland background provincial member, and the assistance team also held a campaign to the city center to brush the presence on the day of the invoicing (this is not allowed by the campaign rules that are not allowed to be allowedTo.

In this campaign, Ms. W continued the idea of treating the circle of friends as the main battlefield of the voting. She never thought that her circle of friends was exploded by the English media at a critical moment.Race discrimination hat was then canceled by the Liberal Party.After some struggle, Ms. W finally withdrew from the election, and her political career probably ended.

After the incident, many people screamed for Ms. W, and felt that she was put on a person who was interested, and it was promoted to the mainstream society to reject the condemnation of Chinese people to participate in politics in mainland China.From the perspective of bystanders, this circle of friends seems to have no big problems. Where does the racial discrimination and ethnic opposition?

The problem lies in the only candidate and Indians, according to the correct standards of political elections in North America: First of all, if the candidate emphasizes his specific ethnic group, using the only one as a prefix, the subtext is to say to the Chinese voters, but I am your only self.People, do you not vote for me, who do you cast it?Then he named the specific ethnic group of the opponent, which means that it can be understood as the candidate to oppose the Chinese and Indians, and reveal that the Chinese should vote for the moral hint of my Chinese.

In fact, taking ethnic minorities to add points to themselves is already a very popular approach in the election, and it is a advantage that should be used.But even so, the experienced candidates must use a very clever way to make full use of their own identity, and not give the other party any opportunity to grab the red -line braid.

At this point, how did the Chinese politicians in the Hong Kong and Taiwan background play? They will reveal everywhere in words and deeds that I am Chinese, and our own information, but when you talk about it, you do n’t miss it.Elected, I will serve the Chinese, all ethnic minorities, and even voters of all cultural backgrounds.Speaking of which, people who understand themselves can experience themselves, and English media can't pick any problems.

The glorious tradition of inner fighting and inside

The author has experienced the city election, provincial election, party leading elections and federal elections. The most headache is the Chinese people who fight themselves. The black rumors are flying all over the sky, coupled with the crowded rendering of people.Say it sensational.What is even more ridiculous is that sometimes, the two Chinese participants have no very direct competitive relationship, and their own or supporters also politely poison their hands to each other, which is completely confusing.You know, no matter how many Chinese participating politicians are, they will be a minority. They are too late to unite to hold the group for heating. If they weaken the overall force for a little personal gain, they will suffer more.

Speaking of this disgusting and helpless nest, only a few examples here:

Ms. Z and Men are campaign of city councilors in the same city, but their party groups are different.Although the two are not familiar with, they have known each other for a long time. The relationship was not bad before.But in the back, Ms. Z said that L men who had experienced campaign experience made a show every day, and there was no such thing as the community; while the L man believed that Ms. Z in the first election did not know what she was in the cloud, and she was pure for her face;

Mr. W and Mr. L are both Chinese. In the same constituency to run for provincial members, Mr. L was first nominated in the party. In an interview, Mr. L said that no matter who the opponent is, he will respect and be honored.At the meeting, when asked how to evaluate Mr. L, Mr. W said in front of more than 20 media saying I Donrsquo; T Know who he is;

Q Ms. Q has a strong business ability. She was awarded an important job by the provincial government. She was re -elected as a successful board, but she was cut by a so -called neutral media population that had been used as her men but was not recognized.Each of the lady's supporting objects is attacked. The crazy fans of this media person even call their old demon in front of many people;

These belong to the relatively shallow nests, and some of the rumors make the other party, vilify their parents, and discredit their work experience. They will not talk about it.

The big pot rice of the village secretary

What is the village branch book?It is to have a fundraising dinner, collect meals, and invite some of the slightly talented relatives and friends, or local art communities, and a few tinctures do not necessarily have many professional performances, but they are victorious performances.Speaking, the executive chairman of a certain chamber of commerce published a feeling. The secretary -general of the fellow villagers expressed the support of the candidate, and then ate the routine meal of the greasy banquet. There were various photos during the table., Completely re -engraved the popular wine table culture in some areas in China. Finally, a person with a face -to -face sublimation supports Chinese people to participate in politics and call on the theme of actively exercising voting rights.

As for the hundreds of people who come and lively, how many people have voting rights, how many people live in their constituencies, and how many walls of walls ... After the lively disperse, no one knows.It doesn't seem to be very concerned about it. The effect of the party may be that the campaign funds are slightly more.This village branch book large pot rice mode is often ridiculed by mainstream media.

In fact, this cannot be completely blame for politicians, after all, VancouverMany Chinese people still like this set.Who is the tube, come here to engage in a fame, a fellowship/chamber of commerce/association/alumni association.Then hurry up the opportunity to export to domestic sales, and use the status of overseas Chinese to return to China to develop their own business ...

All in all, everyone is an official, and they all pay attention to the noodles. On the one hand, candidates want to expand their popularity and gain more compatriots support. On the one hand, these community well -known people and overseas Chinese leaders also want to use candidates andPolitics has a relationship, so as to return to China to talk about business more talks and chips.

In fact, many Chinese candidates do not know the pros and cons. I am afraid that some people will be in the rivers and lakes, and they will not be sighing, but some candidates will flutter and feel the attention, so they are increasingly immersed in this.In the village branch book with high levels of the campaign, over time, some people of other ethnic groups have caused the illusion of Chinese voters and Chinese candidates.Essence

Is the voting of Chinese descent?

Why do you always like to emphasize the identity of Chinese descent, why do you have a nest, and why you do n’t hesitate to pull down his face to eat the village secretary. In the end, many Chinese candidates are caught in a strange circle of mind: they only need to focus on the support of Chinese voters, so for this, it is for this reason for this.Limited Chinese voters' resources are not allowed.

It is true that there are a lot of Chinese people in Canada, but after all, they are just ethnic minorities. If they want to be elected, they must get wider mass support; on the other hand, these votes for Chinese voters will bring illusions to other ethnic groups.: Chinese in politics, just to give them benefits, we are all outsiders.Once this impression, other ethnic voters are naturally urged to make votes in their hands.

In 2018, the number of Chinese candidates reached the highest number of Chinese candidates, but the number of candidates did not increase but decrease.One of the Ms. H with a lot of qualifications did not show up in various meals and activities during the campaign. Until she was finally elected as a city councilor, many talents knew that there were such figures.

Some media interviewed Ms. H and asked about the choice. Ms. H's answer is very interesting: follow her own party group to face face -to -face with local voters, and analyze and understand the city's development status.time.Therefore, even without experience in participating in politics, she never thought she was a so -called dark horse.

Many Chinese candidates who shouted slogans in Chinese people during the campaign during the campaign period, when they heard such a word, do not know how to think.

Wedding wedding clothes for Taiwan independence

In 2017, when the British Columbia was elected, there was a very competitive Chinese candidate Ms. K. His father was a well -known community in the first line of Taiwan independence in the Great Vancouver.Emotions, and their own influence is not small.Ms. K immigrated to Canada with her parents at the age of six. Each footprint of her political road has the father's credit. In the past interviews, Taiwan and Canada have been listed as the country many times.Although it is not clearly said that Taiwan does not belong to China, the political position is very obvious.

It is true that the politicians selected in Canada are naturally serving Canada. They cannot judge whether they are suitable for Canadian politicians.However, Ms. K was very close to the Chinese voters on the mainland's background during the campaign, and the existence of her father did not mention it. Many Chinese voters knew that they had participated in the local elections for their first participation in the slogan of supporting Chinese people.History is naturally unfamiliar.

During the election, it was just a group of mainland background student volunteers for Ms. K on the sea of Dao Mountain and the sea.Speaking of Ms. K, this group of mainland student volunteers are full of stars, saying that shortly after going abroad, they get the opportunity to run for politicians. How the other party is not close to the people.

As a result, after a carefully listed articles that Ms. K's interviews in the past interviews, this group of mainland student volunteers became the first batch of assault soldiers on the Chinese social network:

Ms. K came to Canada when she was 6 years old. The lowest -level grammar error in the text was impossible. Therefore, she must be a man -made rumor. How could Ms. K be such a vicious attack?

Ms. K is very good for us volunteers and gives us a lot of opportunities. If she is really lsquo; Taiwan independence rsquo; how can she treat us so friendly and affectionate?

Ghostly, you are not afraid of shadow obliqueness.Even if Ms. K's father is lsquo; Taiwan independence rsquo; but Ms. K is an independent personality individual. How can Ms. K is also LSquo; Taiwan independence rsquo;?

hellip; hellip;

All in all, this time the incident did not set off a lot of waves, and in addition to these mainland student volunteers, there are many Chinese community leaders who support Ms. K in the mainland.Factors, Ms. K was finally elected as a high vote. Now she is still mixed with a small official title in the Cabinet of the Provincial Council, and her life is beautiful.

It was listed that the strange examples of these Canadian Chinese candidates were not intended to criticize these candidates, but they just saw that Chinese candidates have enthusiastically participated in politics in recent years but have rare regrets and reflections.Some people simply attribute this phenomenon to Canada's mainstream politics, but the deeper reasons after that are the Chinese candidates with Chinese people, especially the background of the mainland as the new faces of politics, have not been really familiar with and incorporated into the North American elections.Among them, the actual operation is often slightly clumsy and naive.

What is worthy of joy and appreciation is that the Chinese ethnic group has shrank in North America from decades ago that he only made his own lives and only seemed to be safe and unreasonable. He has become brave to reach the front desk today, and his palms are preparing to make a political.As long as a new generation of Chinese descent with knowledge, ambition, strategy, and overall view can work unremittingly in the correct direction, Chinese groups, especially Chinese, who have already occupied the mainstream Chinese background in mainland China.The more sound power.
