I need more context on these things, is the CPC actually pushing against Canto and other Chinese languages? And if the CPC is, why? The CPC should push Canto, Shanghainese, Hakka, Hokkien, and other Chinese languages.

    Cantonese people are Han chinese. Saying otherwise is like saying WASPs aren’t white lmao. If the Cantonese aren’t Han then nobody is. The whole reason Cantonese speakers make such a big deal out dialect stuff like this is because they consider it a more “pure” dialect than Mandarin uninfluenced by Northern minority languages like Mongol of Manchu.
