    I feel you! After I stole my language from my parents I learned our alphabet and numbers are also stolen and that I don’t even talk the same language as my forefathers :(

    I also pity anyone thinking they could invent their own pasta dish and act as its part of their culture. Noodles were invented in China, why doesn’t Japan/Italy/the rest of the world get that!?

    China is just in such a unique position: their culture and language handcrafted over millennia by only the finest Han-Chinese, without any influence by any surrounding country like Mongolia. Just pure perfection.

      Nobody suggested anything of sorts, and I admit that the word ‘steal’ is not quite right, but I mean what is when you talk about 1600 year old history.
