1.This is because gender conflicts in South Korea are extremely intense. Interestingly, the situation in China is now also severe, if not equally so. Some South Korean men's rights groups and feminist organizations have infiltrated the Chinese internet. The former have set up accounts on Bilibili(such as ), while the latter often "appeal to foreign audiences" on platforms with large female user bases like Xiaohongshu and Douban.
2. The North Korean nuclear issue in the 2010s nearly significantly impacted China-North Korea relations. Although it is now a settled matter, it remains unlikely that China will provide large-scale aid to North Korea in the near future. North Korean leadership also values maintaining its political independence. However, in recent years, China has indeed transferred a considerable amount of light industry to North Korea, particularly food processing production lines.
3. It is inevitable that the Belt and Road Initiative will extend to Africa. The continent holds immense potential for economic growth, and China has every reason to play a role there. However, African nations vary greatly, with prevalent tribalism, poor security conditions, and low levels of education among the population. Therefore, China’s current involvement in Africa primarily focuses on infrastructure construction and commodity exports, rather than transferring full production systems. Another important reason is that China’s history of direct foreign intervention has been relatively unsuccessful and is distant in time from the present. Thus, if China intends to engage in activities beyond economic cooperation, it still faces significant challenges.
