Besides genealogy, there is no other way to prove that.
Unless you doubt the genealogy.

I believe Deng Xiaoping spoke Szechuan dialect. He did not know Hakka.
Lee Kuan Yew spoke Malay and English. He does not know Hakka too. His
great-grandfather has come to Singapore from Dapu Couny.
Lee Tenghui probably know some Hakka.
Correct me if I am wrong.

I will really appreciate if someone can put a more in-depth generalogy of
Mao in this forum. From there, we can discuss and hopefully, determine
whether he is a Hakka or not.
