The administrative level of the Mexican Special Administrative Region is higher than that of the home state of Datang, and the chief executive of the Special Administrative Region is at the vice-national level. The Tang Dynasty, which completely annexed New Spain, transformed the original colonies of China and the United States into provinces attached to the District of Mexico. Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama each became a province of Mexico.

Mexico is a vast and sparsely populated region, and the population of the entire D.C. is not as large as the population of the three states on the west coast of the Tang Dynasty combined. Especially after the Sino-Western War, a large number of Spaniards fled from Mexico and migrated back to the Iberian Peninsula, or to Puerto Rico and Dominica, and even some native whites migrated to South America. Therefore, after Datang completely controlled Mexico, Datang also began to migrate some Chinese to Mexico.

Cities on the Pacific coast were a key direction for Chinese migration into Mexico, and some of Mexico's largest cities were gradually dominated by Chinese from the Tang Dynasty after the Spaniards left. The local aborigines still live in relatively backward villages and tribal areas, but due to the new policy of the Tang Dynasty, they no longer have high taxes and forced labor, and some aborigines are also attracted by the living conditions and enter the mines and plantations opened by the Tang people to work. Slowly, Mexicans began to get used to the way of doing things in the Tang people, the Chinese people are very reasonable and law-abiding, as long as it is something that is prescribed by law, they will seriously fulfill it. Mexicans enjoyed greater freedom. Those who are more traditional can continue to maintain their original way of life. But the aborigines who went through Spanish colonial rule. Many of them yearn for a rich urban life, so the conversion of these people is also easier than the naturalization of the indigenous people of the Tang Dynasty.

In Mexico, Chinese and Spanish are the two main official languages, but they certainly have different statuses. There are extra points for using Chinese to take the civil service examination; Businessmen who are able to speak Chinese also have certain tax deductions for doing business. Not to mention that in Mexico's newly established series of public primary and secondary schools, Chinese is a compulsory subject, if not the most important.

Not only that, but more and more Chinese are starting to enter Mexico. Especially in urban areas of Mexico. However, the more sophisticated Tang government will not let Mexicans feel obvious ethnic differences and hierarchies, and there are relatively high-level talents among the Chinese, holding positions such as managers of commercial companies and civil servants, and there are also people with such identities among the native-born whites and indigenous people; There was also a more ordinary labor force, working in factories and plantations like the local native whites and aborigines.

In this way, the aborigines do not feel that the Chinese are inherently noble, they are doing similar things like them, and there is no racial ceiling for their development, which is of course what Datang wants to see. Naturally, there is nationalism in Datang. Bai Nan does not deny that he may be a somewhat stubborn nationalist, but the nationalism of the Tang Dynasty has never been a narrow nationalism. It advocates a kind of nationalism based on Chinese culture, inclusiveness, and integrated development, not only to assimilate foreign races, but also to absorb the favorable things of foreign races, and enrich their own diversity, and enhance their own competitiveness. The theory of descent has never been a core element in Tang nationalism, or even a concept that has been strongly criticized in the mainstream culture of the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of this characteristic that when Datang is promoted, people in some countries can see the non-racial spirit of Datang, and they are full of hope for the future of internationalism, not worried that it will eventually become a colony of Datang. Although, in a sense, it is.

San Juan del Sul, as a small city in Nicaragua along the Pacific Ocean, began to move in Chinese immigrants from half a year after the end of the Tangxi War due to the Nicaragua Canal plan. By the time the Tang Congress decided to build the canal, the population of San Juan del South was about 30,000, of which about 60% were Chinese. This makes San Juan do Sul the largest Chinese city in Nicaragua. The arrival of the Chinese led to the rapid prosperity of the city, and two timber processing factories were established here, and because Nicaragua produces high-quality pine and mahogany, the local high-quality wood processing products are also a sought-after commodity in the local state of Datang. There is also a fishing company in the area, and many Chinese fishermen carry out fishing operations. A number of trading companies have also been set up to sell some local resources and minerals to the local area. However, the terrain around San Juan del Sul is predominantly mountainous, and the urban development space is relatively limited, which is a major problem.

After the official launch of the Nicaragua Canal project, a large amount of materials and manpower began to be transported to San Juan do Sul, which ushered in another wave of development in the city. Engineers built breakwaters here, and carried out the construction of the port, as well as the construction of a large port area along the coast. At this time, San Juan del South was not able to dock relatively large ships, and for the canal excavation project, Datang was bound to need a large number of construction machinery. This is also a major advantage of Datang compared with the United States digging the Panama Canal, and various excavators and other construction machinery make the project easier. This is also a big reason why Datang is confident that it can complete this canal in more than a year.

Dai Qingcheng, deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications of Datang, came to San Juan do Sul to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony. Alquez was also present at the ceremony.

Nicaraguans are clearly excited about the opening of the canal. "The fact that this canal can be dug and built and navigated in Nicaragua is a great opportunity for our Nicaraguan province, which is poor and backward compared to the Tang state and even some parts of Mexico. ”

Dai Qingcheng listened to the governor's Chinese with great difficulty, and it took him half a day to understand it, but he still said very encouragingly: "I am also convinced of this, Nicaragua has a great opportunity to take off the hat of poverty and backwardness in one fell swoop and build a prosperous and well-off society." ”

Gomez? "It's a great opportunity, but we in Nicaragua also have to be prepared, because our province has a relatively small population, only a few hundred thousand, and there are many indigenous people, most of whom have no education and are unable to do complex jobs," Alquez said. We hope to take advantage of the opportunity of the canal mining to apply to the Immigration Bureau of the National Council to transfer more immigrants from Asia to the province of Nicaragua and promote our development.
