I'm not a native speaker of any Chinese dialect but my first translation of Xinhua would have been Newspeak. Lycurgus 19:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Huá (华) can be used as a shorthand for China/Chinese, as in huáqiáo (华侨, overseas Chinese). Rpine75 07:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

The glyphs 华 (huá/華; "China"), 话 (huà/話; speech), 花 (huā; flower), 画 (huà/畫; drawing), 化 (huà; abbr. for chemistry), etc etc. are not the same. The tones don't even match; it's just like comparing resume (i.e. to continue) with résumé (submitted when looking for a job). -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 07:10, 13 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
