Good Night
Time to call it a day
Sleep tight
Dream your troubles away
Good night, in spite of any sorrow
There's a brand new day
On it's way tomorrow
Someday
All your dreams will come true
Some way
For me and you
So close your eyes
And dream of it my darling
Till then good bye
Good night sleep tight

I have more. if you need a break from banal world.
Japanese have this Hawaiian complex, if you remember Pearl Harbor, there were more Japanese on these islands than whites, that is why they come up with this story. Hawaii is used to imply China's strong stance in Diaoyu Island.

There are many Indians in California too, especially in the bay area. What's your point?

There are a lot of Chinese in California.

China has a right over those territories too!

If you are happy with this Japan Crush "reports", enjoy yourselves.

Off course

Any joke is welcome for a good laugh.

Many of those Chinese are probably descendants of those who came to work on the railroads in the 19th century. So the Irish would have a claim too.

Joke?? What Joke??

Did you see this posted by Singh above

Remarks at the Foreign Policy Group's "Transformational Trends 2013" Forum

SECRETARY CLINTON: one of my Chinese interlocutors said, "Well, we could claim Hawaii."

Seems they are threatening US to me.

And as cooks and help during the Gold Rush.

The point is territorial claims.

Hawaii is also being 'claimed' on the basis that the Chinese in Hawaiʻi referred to as Pākē, constitute about 4.7% of the state's population, most of whom (75%) have ancestors from Zhongshan in Guangdong.

North West America stopped on their fur trading voyage, returning to China from the northwest coast of America. The ships carried 50 Chinese crewmen, many of them carpenters or smiths. They stayed in Hawai`i during the first three months of 1789 while their ships refueled and sheltered from winter seas. Another 45 Chinese crewmen arrived later in 1789 aboard the Eleanora under Captain Simon Metcalf.

A decade later, Chinese brought the first sugarmill to Hawai`i from China. It was not until 1823, however, that the first Chinese - a trader with a stock of goods to sell - took up permanent residence in Honolulu. By 1840, there were 40 or so foreigners living in Honolulu. Of these, 30 or more were Chinese.

Hawaii's Chinese population took a giant leap when plantation owners recruited Chinese laborers to work in the sugar fields. The first Chinese contract workers arrived in 1852, signed to five-year contracts which earned them three dollars a month plus their passage, room and board. The first workers - 175 from Hong Kong - took up their labors on Maui. Most Chinese coming to Hawai`i came from the depressed Kwangtung and Fukein provinces in southern China. Between 1852 and 1876, 3,908 Chinese were imported. In 1882, Chinese made up nearly 49% of the plantation work force and at one point, Chinese outnumbered whites in the Islands.

Most Chinese plantation workers did not renew their five-year contracts, opting instead to work on smaller private farms or for other Chinese as clerks, as domestics in haole households, or they started their own businesses. By 1882, the Chinese population hovered around 5,000, 20% of Honolulu's population. Numbers of Chinese living on plantations fell while 75% lived and worked in the Honolulu area quickly becoming known as Chinatown.

@Impulse,

By the token of Chinese claim on Hawaii, what about the Japanese?

The Japanese in Hawaii known also as, though rarely as Kepanī are the second largest ethnic group in Hawaii. At their height in 1920, they constituted 43% of Hawaii's population.

Therefore, if someone has to claim other than the US, it is Japan and not China!

Most of them are taxi drivers, so what is your point?

That is where you go wrong.

That is the point.

Most are in the silicon valley and quite a few are owners of large fruit farms.

The report said Indians are heavily concentrated in California and New Jersey. Compared to other immigrant groups, the Indian foreign born are much better educated -- nearly three-quarters of Indian-born adults have a bachelor's degree or higher.

About one-quarter of Indian-born men in the labour force work in the information technology industry. Nearly half of all Indian immigrants resided in California, New Jersey, New York, and Texas, it said.
Indians the third largest immigrant group in US

In so far as the Chinese:

The Chinese did not only mine for gold, but took on jobs such as cooks, peddlers, and storekeepers. In the first decade after the discovery of gold, many had taken jobs nobody else wanted or that were considered too dirty.

The chinese did in fact mine for gold. They did that in Oz as well.

They go where the money is
