I acknowledge that as an English speaker, the sources available to me were limited. Many of the texts referenced on this site were originally in Portuguese or Chinese, and had been translated into English, either through a third party (see sources for more information) or Google. I recognize that the process of translation has its own complexities and limitations when it comes to understanding the precise language being used. Therefore, the research on this site cannot thoroughly capture the views and thoughts of Portuguese and Chinese speakers, but can offer an overview of the sentiments most available to the English-speaking world.
