India steps into Philippines-China spat over South China Sea

Huh and which country has a caste system?

Below is the details.............

China

The Southern and Northern Dynasties showed such a high level of polarization between North and South that northerners and southerners referred to each other as barbarians. The Mongol Yuan Dynasty also made use of the concept; Yuan subjects were divided into four classes, with northern Han Chinese occupying the second-poorest class and southern Han Chinese the poorest one.[42]

Traditional Yi society in Yunnan was class based. People were split into the Black Yi (nobles, 5% of the population), White Yi (commoners), Ajia (33% of the Yi population) and the Xiaxi (10%). Ajia and Xiaxi were slaves. The White Yi were not slaves but had no freedom of movement. The Black Yi made slave-raids on Han Chinese communities. After 1959, some 700,000 slaves were freed.[43][44][45]

Modern History

From 17th century to early 20th century, Chinese society was divided into closed social classes: aristocracy and officials, literati, commoners, and people with inferior status. The commoners were called liangmin (良民), meaning good people. The inferior people were called jianmin (賤民), meaning cheap, lowly and mean people. The lowest caste, jianmin, included slaves as well people who were born into families of certain occupations. These occupations considered inferior, shunned and defiling, included nupu (奴仆), changyou (倡優) and lizu (yamen runners). Within each caste, there were further hierarchies and status levels. The lowest caste, for example, included higher status actors and lower status actors. Domestic servants and agricultural slaves were considered less defiling than actors. The upper castes had special privileges and a separate legal code. For the same behavior or crime, a person of upper caste was treated differently by law than a person of lower caste. Offsprings inherited their caste status from their fathers (jiefi chengfen or chitsen).[46][47]

The commoner sub-castes in China were four, and were called the simin (四民). These included the gentlemen (local nobility), farmers, merchants and artisans (士, 農, 工, 商). The simin castes were considered the pure descent people. The so-called lowly, mean people were not part of the simin castes, and they were considered as ******, dishonored and defiled by birth. Marriage between simin castes (commoners) and so-called lowly, mean castes were stringently prohibited. Marriages within commoners were also limited to those within sub-castes.[46][48]

Beyond these castes, China had its pariah caste, who were the untouchables and who passed on this status to their descendants automatically. The untouchables were considered impure by birth, and had to live in isolation away from rest of the community. Within this outcastes, there were hierarchies, such as dan boat people, bandang people, beggar households, and hereditary servant people. Their state was fixed for life; they were frequently despised wherever they went, and there was no legal way for them to escape from their inferior status. The outcastes married within their caste and status level, and taught their offsprings their occupations. Some of the outcast occupations involved human and animal waste, dead carcasses, leather work, human corpse rituals, postpartum blood rituals, and such work; for this, the Chinese outcasts were considered a polluted and irreversibly impure segment of the society. The untouchables were different and below the so-called lowly, mean people castes. The treatment of untouchables was fluid and less harsh in some parts of China, and very rigid in others. All of these Chinese castes belonged to the same race, same religion and same culture prevalent in their community. In the Chinese system of law, the outcastes were unequal, had limited or no rights, and in social matters judged accordingly. The social status of outcastes mirrored their legal status, both reflected their sense of social identity. The outcasts were shunned and ostracized by the upper castes, and the sub-castes excluded, shunned and mutually repulsed the other.[46][49]

Watson finds that rigid caste strata system continued after China's communist revolution, and was actively exploited in rural regions by party officials for control, at least through 1960s.[50][51]

Caste - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So from now onward STFU about caste cry.

The Wikipedia article is incorrect about caste and China. First of all, there is no such thing as caste in Taiwan or China. There are professions. But people can change profession, people cannot change caste. Its true that prior to modern times, people usually stays within their class. But if a farmer's child pass the civil service exam, then he can change his career and get a better life. In India, no one can change caste. That is why its called a caste in India where as every where else, this term is not used at all.

I sitting outside China, looking to the information available can only understand that China has Cast system. Same as you sitting outside India, Think about us.

Yes earlier there was caste system in India, which use to restrict people from taking any other job then his caste allowed (we are talking about pre independence period). But after that, anyone was free to take any job of his choice.

Regarding marriage into caste........ Well, you call it marriage within caste in India as Caste base, We call your marriage within Ethnic Groups as Caste base.

Whatever make you feel better... If you like to imagine that the rest of the world has Hindu caste system for you to cope with your emotional scars about your culture's past, than so be it. I'm not going to pop your balloons. But once you feel better and can deal with the reality, than read my previous post again.

Imperial Japan had nothing to do with the PRC, but had very much to do with the ROC, now on Taiwan. Just in case you forgot: PRC was established in 1949, WW2 ended 1945.

Filipinos are NOT the best of East and West combined. Even today, Filipinos in the Gulf are treated the same way Africans and Indians are, while Chinese are treated much nicer. That's why Dubai is building a Chinatown for the 120,000 Chinese businessmen there, and not building a Little Manila for the 1 million cheap Filipino labor for the Arab masters.
