This is a bit OT and anecdotal but I have seen a Korean-Chinese (joseonjok) waitress treated like total crap verbally by her colleagues in a Korean restaurant, in front of dining guests. Of course I couldn't understand what was said since it was in Korean but you could tell just from body language. When she came to our table to take the order she switched over to mandarin when she saw we were Chinese, and maybe felt more comfortable with it. I think the S Koreans don't consider them real Koreans and the Chaoxian zu themselves probably identify more as Chinese than Korean.
Just need to boycott k-pop and Korean TV series.

I'm looking forward to the days when only A.I. judges are used in sporting events.

Really, even for seemingly nonsubjective sports like football and basketball, the outcome of a game could be very different had the decisions of the referees/judges had gone the other way during the game.
I fail to see why they don't use the cameras to verify their judgment. IMO it was the use of cameras is why we had 3 China and Two Hungry competitors in the final.

I am not an st all familiar with how scoring works in this discipline so am just going to let the video performances of both outstanding athletes speak for their respective results. Wether gold or silver is deserving for one over the other, I don't know. But what I do know for certain is that these guys are pretty freaking awesome.

And just to point out the video clip is geo locked for U.S. so anyone here who would like to see the clip must use a VPN or something.

I don't think we have discussed the Chinese American presence in the US figure skating/ice dancing team. Two used Chinese music for their routines. Let cheer for them.

(it goes without saying no Chinese is accusing cultural appropriation. We are just proud of our people and also our culture being spread as far as possible.)
