 … Global Website encourages the development of a rich variety of living Hakka cultures in different regions. Li-Jung Wang (2018) argues that the Thai-Hakka identity is a result of the negotiation from the common ancestral land in China, as well as the new modern Hakka discourse and multicultural policy in Taiwan.

    From the primary source of their hometown website in New York (Chiu, 2016), we also see that they have already taken the initiatives from 2005 to articulate their fictive kinship with Zheng He. They followed up the academic activity news of the U.S. Library of Congress for the Zheng He 600th anniversary over threaded mails such as the … Zheng He Nautical Chart (明代茅元儀整理《鄭和航海圖》寄望國家強盛) (Tian, 2005) …
