Honestly, it’s their store, their country, let them do what they want and ban who they want. All we can do is wait for this to propagate on Chinese social media and let the market decide the consequences. If any Chinese are still of low enough self esteem to travel to Occupied Korea or Japan, let them face derision there. Nothing we can do. Hopefully they get openly humiliated in enemy territory.

China's government has the call on whether they want to let it go for the new Korean government or blow it up. China doesn't have to do anything official; all it has to do it air it on every news channel that Korean shops have anti-China signs and Korea business will be destroyed in China. Even the people who listen to K-pop won't make a difference because listening is free. Shit, when I was young and dated Korean girls, I used to listen to it too. Even today, I can put on Youtube and get a pump working out cus it reminds me of all the pretty girls. But, I wouldn't hesitate at any time to nuke that country if they came to blows with China and I never spent a penny just listening to free music.
That all said, from the perspective of the principle of never doing what your opponent wants to see you do, it should be obvious what America wants here. It wants hatred to increase between China and Korea. And Korea is a democracy, which chose to depose a Trump turd in favor of a China-leaning president. That's big data telling you not to get things blown out of proportion and overreact by retaliating on an entire country for what a few restaurants and liquor shops chose to do.
Greatest Wealth is with Royal Kingdoms. This Ukraine conflict is practical demonstration of that financial power. They buy continents and second will be Russian. they just revalued the Gold underground reserves.
Also this twitter person is not well informed. he sounds like Turkey is running after Israel and the rest are following it.
Kazakhstan join Abrahamic Accord. which is between Israel and Royal Kingdoms. now who exactly is architect of this accord. think about Netanyahu travel history. Lavrov as usual is practically sidelined when ever this Israeli issue comes up. Lavrov is not Russian. Putin gave Tokayev two Phone calls and sent alone that MGIMO rector. and Russia is expected to built largest White Mosque/Synagogue/Museum/Library modeled after Abu Dhabi White Mosque/Family house. this Putin way of saying that he did it.

Why does the West want to force their brand of freedom and democracy on China and the world. It's so they can do this on the Chinese. They want to be able to freely buy things like utilities in China so they can have a monopoly and charge whatever they want. That's what Google was planning in China. China didn't have a Google equivalent. Google then was the belle of the ball. Their ego made them think they were bigger than China hence why they thought they could take on China and everyone else was going to follow their lead like the Pied Piper to take down China. That's why the US hates pesky communist governments. They were in charge of everything bigger and had more resources than any private corporation could be. If China embraced Western style capitalism, then the government wouldn't be king. The private corporation would be hence why Google wanted to get into China before the Chinese even had a peer competitor. Now that China does have peer competitors, the US is closing off to protect themselves from what they wanted to do to everyone else.
See the truth is coming out now. The Dutch think they can rightfully seize Nexperia nationalizing other countries assets when they feel insecure about their place in the world. The Europeans are demanding China hand over for free it's prized EV technology because it's not theirs and they don't have it. Trump's Liberation Day tariffs are all about the world giving tribute to the US for just existing. Anyone else doing that to them, they would be on a war footing. Japan and South Korea just because they see themselves as Western think China just exists to give them money like how Japan didn't understand why China wouldn't buy their radioactive fish and South Korea wants to make money from their K-pop playing in China. Look at even the Philippines who think despite their anti-Chinese politics somehow China is suppose to keep buying their durian. And then they all lie it's about giving China something good like freedom. And because China isn't doing what they want, it's China is plotting evil on them. They're the victim.
Indeed, it would be senseless for the Chinese government to sabotage a relatively China friendly government in South Korea over some racist bars and cafes.
We must remember that within every society, there are different factions, and we should never confuse them for each other and in doing so, inadvertently give power to the enemy factions. That is what the right-wing supporters in South Korea want, ultimately - to sabotage the present government and stir up conflict with China.
They and their handlers in the West want to bait China into escalating and trashing relations - and the right action, here, is obviously not to bite.
This is also why I think the problem needs to be resolved at the grass roots level, not the government level. The Chinese population should organize and create a black list for businesses and owners deemed hostile to China - a hall of shame so to speak - that could then be used to "cancel" them on social media and to pressure investors, companies, celebrities etc. into not working with them.
It's this kind of pressure tactic that will have the most effect on isolating and containing those black elements to the fringe of global society, and make them pay without ever falling into their trap.
Psychologist Dr John Gartner lays out the signs and symptoms he sees of “dementia and malignant narcissism” in Donald Trump, and explains why he thinks the president won’t make it to the end of his term “compos mentis”.
Dr John Gartner is founder of Duty To Warn and former assistant professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University Medical School.
A few gems from this podcast.
John: Early in 2015 when He was running for President, I recognized that this is essentially a meteor heading towards Earth, because I knew how destructive a malignant narcissistic leader can be for country and I saw it as destructive potentially to our country and unfortunately that seems to be coming true.
Q: So is it your assessment of Trump's condition?
A: Yes, it has four components, Narcissism off course, but also Psychopathy or what we call anti social disorders so lying, breaking laws and norms, having no remorse for violating the rights of others, also Paranoia and finally Sadism, a lot of what he does is gleefully destructive and harmful and actually it gives him enormous pleasure to hurt people and destroy things.
Towards the end.
Q: Is he the first president with the real health conditions?
A: No he is not, he is not the first one to hide it, if you think about it, President Wilson who had a stroke, this was before we had the 25th Amendment, we don't know what to do, so Mrs. Wilson ran the white house for a number of months, unfortunately right now we are in the situation where Steven Miller is running the White House, Steven Miller is insane, uh he really I mean uh he is Jewish Nazi, he really identifies with something we call in psychology, identification with aggressor that's actually a psychologically a defense mechanism where sort of Stockholm Syndrome, which is anti-immigration Nazi agenda which is really genocidal against immigrants...
Narcissistic, anti-social, paranoid, sadistic and demented? Never has there been a more faithful representation of the American spirit in the American president in American history.
I disagree with you on this.
Outwardly, LKY on the world stage did successfully pull off a balancing act between east and west. As one of the first advocates of fostering ties with an emergent "Communist" China, he may seem pro-Chinese but that is quite far from the truth. What he did was simply a good statesman does, he picked the best course of action that the small, nascent city needed to survive and prosper in a very hostile situation. He made bed with both east and west equally cos Singapore could benefit from both.
Within Singapore however, he was definitely never pro-Chinese. LKY is Peranakan
While Peranakans are of originally of ethnic Chinese origin, culturally they are not Chinese. They have their own evolved culture blending local Malay systems with their own Chinese heritage to the point that they neither consider themselves Malay nor Chinese but Peranakan. My own experience may be extreme but I have "family" that is Peranakan and their viewpoint is rather dismissive of anything Cina (Malay word for Chinese often used in a derogative manner) or Melayu for that matter. They quite view themselves as a race apart from either.
LKY inherited a nation that was largely Chinese and he was acutely aware that he himself was anything but Chinese. He never learnt Chinese as a Peranakan child but rather English and Malay. For him to win votes with the largely Chinese population, he had to appear as one of them - so he learnt Chinese and Hokkien (the predominant immigrant group in Singapore) and used that in Speeches.
Aside:
That is my pet peeve with democracy in it's base form. The winning of votes is all theatre catering to the common denominator. What LKY did do well was, once in office, he and his cabinet were actually capable and pragmatic in what was actually required to build a modern nation. Singapore could be said to be lucky to have him BUT back to why I say he was never pro-Chinese.
Homogenising the Chinese population to one lingua franca makes sense. But in the promoting standard Mandarin, he also crushed all dialects. In the space of two generations, Grandchildren lost the ability to speak to their grandparents as the former was educated in standard Chinese whilst the grandparents could only speak dialect. Nanyang immigrant culture was largely low income, low education and low social strata and as such, largely tradition and oral. When you drastically cut off that transmission by making the next generation unable to communicate with the previous, you are very much diluting their culture unless someone makes the effort to translate and transition the richness of the culture from one generation to the next ... and no one really did so officially. This plays into LKY's hands domestically as it made these rootless Chinese more accepting of him as one of them rather than actually focus on his Peranakaness as being really not one of them.
The other action with a big impact is that Singapore under LKY, got rid of all Chinese schools. This is big as it homogenised successive generations of Chinese children via a central curriculum devoid of race and cultural education. For perspective, Malaysia and Indonesia Chinese both allowed Chinese language schools to be retained. These served as bastions of Chinese culture in a minority setting as these schools actively sought to reinforce what was lacking in the society they were set in.
Diluting the Chinese-ness works in Singapore and PAP (the ruling party) favour as it reduced friction with the vastly Malay majority neighbours and made the significant Peranakan business and political community less conspicuous.
That this made it easier for western culture to make inroads is besides the point. The base reason is not inherently anti-Chinese but for political expediency and survival.
