The UK usage of the term "Asian" is reflected in the "ethnic group" section of UK census forms, which treat "Asian" and "Chinese" as separate. Most respondents to the UK 2001 Census of non-Chinese East Asian and Southeast Asian descent chose to write-in their ethnicity in the "Other Ethnic Group" category rather than the "Other Asian" category, reflecting the association of the word Asian in the UK with South Asian. Despite there being a strong presence of East Asians in the United Kingdom there are considerably more South Asians, for example the 2001 Census recorded 1.05 million people of Indian origin and 247,000 of Chinese origin in the UK.

After watching the film “Raise the Red Lantern” and reading the book “Red Scarf Girl”, I have the following observations: Raise the Red Lantern Firstly, China is a country with more than 5000 years of history. The First Emperor (Qin Shi Huang) and the Last Emperor (Puyi) had a time difference of 2000 years. Confucianism, traditional culture and customs each played an important role during that period. Secondly, the film “Raise the Red Lantern” basically copies the thoughts of the emperors, believing that the male was the most powerful person in the household. By doing that, the film gives critical images of traditional China and depicts a barbaric system of class and gender exploitation.

In the ancient time, about 10000 B.C. China, just like other civilizations, was ruled by many different patriarchal clans. This is the first stage of the prehistoric culture of China.

The population provides the much needed labor force that has propelled the country’s industrial and agricultural sector to great heights of productivity. China’s population is the largest in the world. As per mid-2011, the country had a population of over 1.3 billion people (Rosenberg, 2011). This is a 20% representation of the World’s total population because the world population is estimated to be around 6.7 billion. Besides providing labor for industries, the large Chinese population forms a ready market for goods and services.
