I hope you guys don't mind a dumb question?

I used to live in California at one time and I noticed a good number of Chinese MA clubs. Run by people of Chinese ancestry. If China's Emperor were to visit California, what kind of reception would he get from the Chinese community in California and also from the many martial arts groups there?

Interesting question.





If the queen of England came to visit, what kind of reception would she receive from the English-descendant people?





Some people would be amuzed, the majority would be nice out of respect, and others wouldn't really care.





I think it'd be a similar case with the emperor of China.
Reply:OK, first of all, I'm in China right now, and you're stuck in the past. Fyi, that is sort of insulting, as we're not in the past and we have presidents right now. Just letting you know


Umm, welll, I doubt that he would that openly go into Martial Arts clubs, but he'd probably be treated pretty well and with priority, as he is a head governmental person.
Reply:all of the Californians would engage in MORTAL KOMBAT , to please the emperor, lol , thanks for the good laugh kid.
Reply:I see very little interest in the Chinese community in California for bringing the Imperial Family back to power in China.





I think that members of the Chinese community in California would like to meet any members of the Imperial Family, especially the Emperor, and they would certainly be very pleasant, in fact they would be honored, but I would be very suprised if you could find any significant level of interest to restore the Imperial Family to power in China.





I know that you think that I am unprofessional based on your reply to some of my other posts. I understand. People have been telling me that they think that I am unprofessional for years. That is nothing new.





I am very happy for you that you represent the Imperial Family, however, even though I am involved with a group that opposes human rights violations by the current group of people that are in power in The People's Republic of China, I see no significant amount of support in the Chinese community in California to return the Imperial Family to power in China.
Reply:This may be the most intelligent question I have ever seen in this section.





I have no idea what California is like, I would hope for a warm reception from the community for an Emperor.
Reply:Actually, the last generation of Emperors in China were hated by the Chinese because they were actually foreigners who conquered China. The Yuan Dynasty which was established by the Mongols who conquered China in the 13th century under the rule of Kublai Khan was one. The Mongols were later overthrown by a peasant revolt which lead to the founding of the Ming Dynasty by the ethnic Hans of China. But 300 years later, the Ming Dynasty was overthrown and China was conquered by the Manchus of Manchuria who established the Ching Dynasty and ruled until the 20th century when the last of the Manchu Emperors, Puyi abdicated the throne to give way to the Nationalists headed by Sun Yat Sen who wanted to establish a Chinese Republic in 1912. So any descendants of the Manchu Emperors would not be that welcome as most people would think, their rule was marked by excesses and the Chinese people suffered a lot during those times. Westerners would probably pay more respect to them because of the western fascination with Chinese history. Furthermore, most of the later generation Emperors were effeminate and sickly and spent more time on vices like wine and women than on the practice of martial arts. It's the Generals and officers under their command and the rebel leaders opposing the government who were more known for their Martial arts prowess.
