The editors and writers at Ginger Post have long recognized that virtually all media reports on events and issues that might be of interest of the Chinese Canadians are presented in Chinese. This is true of print and electronic media: newspapers, magazines television channels and radio stations. It means that the media reporting on Chinese Canadians are essentially for the new immigrants who understand the Chinese language. | ||
The Chinese language media in Canada serve a necessary and useful function. However, there are millions of Canadians, whether they are of Chinese ancestry or not, who do not understand Chinese but are still interested in learning about what Chinese Canadians are doing or about issues that are of particular concern to the Chinese Canadians. Among them are hundreds of thousands of ethnic Chinese who were born and raised, or who grew up outside of China. These are the Chinese overseas, known in Chinese as the huayi (華裔, meaning the descendants of the Chinese). They are ethnically Chinese but their everyday language is for the most part English. They may want to know something about their Chinese heritage or what is happening in the Chinese communities across Canada and around the world. If you are reading this page, you are probably one of them. Ginger Post is for you. | The Chinese language media in Canada serve a necessary and useful function.
