гипоколония Explanation: Слово "Гипоколония" образовано от слова гипофосфит. If I may coin a phrase, we should be called a "hypo-colony." This is a term that comes from chemistry, as in "hypo-phosphite." Among chemicals there are some belonging to the class of phosphorous compounds but of lower grade, which are called phosphites. Still another grade lower, and they are called hypo-phosphites... The Chinese people, believing they were a semi-colony, thought it shame enough; they did not realize that they were lower even than Annam or Korea. Therefore we cannot call ourselves a "semi-colony" but only a "hypo-colony." Reference: http://www.evanshine.com/Prime_Sources/Chinese%20Nationalism...

hypo-colony (фактическая колония) Explanation: Раз Сунь Ятсен изобрел новый термин, стоит его привести вместе с разъяснением. "Полуколония", похоже, не годится, это предполагает хоть частичную независимость, а он считал, что обращаются с Китаем хуже, чем с колонией. |
