CCP pushing the "official" doctrine that Mandarin is the only Chinese language to NZ, despite the fact that the vast majority of NZ Chinese immigrants speak Cantonese as a primary language. Especially the early ones.

So they shouldn't be allowed to say such a thing? Most countries get to decide what their official language is right?

What is your point here?

I am just trying to understand why I am supposed to be outraged and upset that's all. I get it China bad and all that but in this case why is this worthy of my anger and anguish?
