I think China may becoming a new leader in humor.

Some of the jokes made by the Chinese officials were

- Napoleon Bonaparte was of han chinese ancestry and so is Ghenghis Khan.
- Okinawa island(Japan's territory) belongs to China because Ryukyu kingdom was founded by Chinese migrants.
- Chinese invented golf and football(soccer for americans)
- Hangul(korean alphabet) is invented by han chinese.
I don't know if majority of chinese can read Korean writing.
- Dalai Lama is a terrorist.
This one was good because Dalai is an old man in orange monk robe keeps bowing his head with his hands on his chest.

- Yue Fei, a general during Song dynasty who defended Song dynasty from the Qings is NOT A HERO.
He was praised for long time as a hero to the Han Chinese people for defending his people from the outsiders. Chinese officials said "we need to rethink whether Yue Fei is a hero or not because after all, Qings were Chinese too.
Not to mention Manchus lived outside the Great wall of China.
This one is briliant because this reminds me of the novel "1984"

How good do you think these jokes are?

My friend is from Hong Kong and he told me one earliest joke was

To children.
"Mao Zedong is more closer to each one of you than your father and mother"

It was old so I couldn't get a good laugh but now I am seeing a huge progress.
what is wrong with you all?
 
It's very funny. Thanks for the laugh. I have a joke too, what did Mao Ze Dung do to his wife after they got married? ans: He spread her legs and made a Great Leap Forward! He had to, he was so small, his wife shrieked. lol
 
Hmm,

Han Chinese is actually a mixture of many races over thousands of years, so there is a tiny possibility that Genghis Khan was Han Chinese, but not Napoleon.

Soccer was indeed invented by the Chinese back in the Qin dynasty I believe, even though they are not great at it nowadays.

Hangul actually originated from the Mongolian language, not the Chinese.

So an old monk can't be a terrorist? The CPC considers the Dalai Lama a terrorist because he spreads anti Chinese views outside of China. But most Westerners believe he is a pacifist.

Manchus are Chinese, since the term "Chinese" includes people of many races and ethnics, including Han, Tibetan, Miao, Manchu etc. (Some Manchus also live in Mongolia).

The other stuff, not so sure

It is just a humor ! Just like Jesus may be a black.

Or Jesus may be a Chinese.

You really need to learn how to appreciate humor. It's good for your health.
 
thank you for complimenting my sense of humor indirectly. i, a chinese, living in america and speak broken english, i have to admit i do make some good jokes sometimes, not bragging, i made american sometimes say ''it took me a second to get that.'' then they laughed.
my jokes are not for the shallow and childish and faint hearted.
 
Your jokes are the epitomy of Chinese droll humor. They don't get any funnier than that.
