It seems people here don't really know much about Chinese Manhua.

I wouldn't really rely on Wikapedia too much on it either. Having looked at the wiki page, I can notice errors with what was written there by whoever wrote it (by the sources my guess is it was most likely an American who wrote it?).

  So, Here's a Chinese view on it from someone who has lived in China and reads Manhua! (ps my favs are Tales of Demons and Gods (妖神记;Yāoshén jì - literally means Demon Gods), Combat Continent (斗罗大陆; Dou Luo Da Lu), Requiem/Rakshasa Street (镇魂街; ZhenHunJie), Battle Through the Heavens (斗破蒼穹; Doupo Cangqiong), City of Darkness - Hong Kong (九龍城寨; Jiǔlóng chéng zhài - literally means Kowloon walled city), etc etc...

I think what's also ignored is the fact that Hong Kong Manhua is mostly oriented towards street fighter style themes than most Japanese Manga which are more diverse.

People seem to not pay attention to certain Taiwanese contributions as well, which are more talked about here: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/36203-chinesese-comicsmanhua-taiwan-and-hong-kong/

Manhua can be:

• Read from left-to-right or right-to-left
• Black and White or full color (Mostly Hong Kong)
• Weekly or Monthly releases

Manhua have distinct story lines from Manga and Manhwa, which is due to cultural differences. (Yes, they're not "all the same" as you would like to think and, hinestly, it is quite offensive to say that they are the same -_-)

Honestly, if they were "all the same" then wouldn't you get bored with them by now? If you read a few Manhua, Manhwa, and Manga that deal with cultural aspect, you will notice the diffrences. for instance, try to compare Tales of Demons and Gods, Breaker: New Wave, and Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan or maybe GATE - JIETAI KARE NO CHI NITE, KAKU TATAKERI (I tried to pick something comparable yet most Japanese manga seem to focus around over dramatic school life or just plain syfy, thus why I put 2 recommendations for Japanese manga since the later is written by a former JSDF officer o.o). You will notice subtle differences brought forward by the distinct cultures of all three regions.

All-in-all, if you're not sure about something, I wouldn't suggest looking it up on Wikipedia (even your professors will tell you this in Uni). Ps Wikipedia is banned in China ^_^
