Talk:Chuan Leekpai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On what basis is Chuan labeled as "Overseas Chinese"? A great many Thais are of Chinese descent, but only the few who still speak Chinese and practice non-Buddhist rites are actually considered jiin. Jpatokal 08:32, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I added him to the category because he is linked from Thai Chinese. The article defines Thai Chinese as being Overseas Chinese. But does the term "Overseas Chinese" have to mean Chinese in the cultural sense? I thought it also applied to ethnic Chinese who do not speak Chinese. I'm not sure of the exact definition of jiin, but I have a feeling it's definition is more specific than that of "Overseas Chinese" in English. — J3ff 09:08, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- OK. I'm still not entirely convinced Chuan is any more 'overseas Chinese' than, say, Thaksin, but now the onus of proof is on me — so I've reverted back to your version. Jpatokal 10:54, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chuan 1
Did Chuan really do anything during his first government? I don't see any evidence of him enacting any significant new legislation, except for some logging laws. Patiwat 21:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
