So this is why multiple media simultaneously report "north korean in Ukraine" misinformation. To justify more aid to Ukraine and to slander China.South Korea's Yoon tells China's Xi cooperation needed on Russia, North Korea
Joke of the day
Guess Yoon took Zelensky's message to heart.
'A war of two countries against one' — Zelensky urges Western allies to take decisive action on North Korean troop involvement
I dunno about Hungary but with South Korea its quite simple. SK despite claiming its different has a massive overlap with China in what they compete in.
Not really. The inherent intelligence was there even when China was at its lowest point, it just took the right conditions for it to blossom. There are many in the global south that are going through the same conditions China went through but with the proper conditions their intelligence will shine through too.
Value system is determined by historical circumstances, culture is incredibly difficult to undo. I've traveled all over the world I can understand why some cultures value certain things that others do not. What we call values and culture are forged from survival traits, for the westerner and the east asian, it was in their best interests to forge efficient societies because their survival depended on it. In west africa they didn't need to. I don't agree with this notion that only stupid and untalented people place value in the wrong things, I personally know many people who are incredibly intelligent but want to do just enough and get by.
Wrong again. They didn't develop advanced economies because there simply wasn't any need to. If such a time calls for it do not underestimate what the human mind will do.
Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Saying you're result-oriented doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. China is currently the second largest economy in the world, can I say they are less intelligent and dynamic than the Americans?
Nobody is vying for undue credit however it does not mean that folks won't correct racist misconceptions. Nobody is taking credit or saying China's achievements are to be applied to poor third world countries. This nonsense about others not having enough talent is just supremacist nonsense. Development isn't going to happen in tandem, some societies will develop before others which will lead some to believe that just because they've made it means others aren't as talented as they are. Complete and utter nonsense.
I don’t dislike K-pop, but it’s just American popular music in a different language. It’s completely disinteresting to me and frankly, it’s not that popular here in the United States. Ironically, China has had a far, far larger influence on Western popular culture through TikTok.
If you were a SKorean Nationalist born in 70-80s you would be quite sad as you were overshadowed by the Japanese till the late 90s and when you were getting finally getting your time in the sun during the late 2000s to first half of the 2010s, suddenly China comes out of nowhere and starts dunking on your supposed strengths. Under 10 years is basically nothing in the timeline of a nation.
So all Latin American countries that were surveyed have a net-positive opinion on China but none of them have confidence in President Xi to do the right thing regarding world affairs ...
Correction: they didn't know they needed to.
I agree so, no people are born rotten. Only cultures and values.
There was a need to, just one they could not see because their culture has put a wall over their eyes.
That's quite dumb to count all of the west into 1 economy, they're not that integrated with eachother to the point they can claim to be 1 aggregate economy that would be ahead of China.
The problem is that many third world countries adopted American style values, governance and behavior. By that I don't mean they're geopolitically aligned with America, but how they choose to run their cultures. Leaders are loyal to their own families and business interests, there is no accountability anywhere. Until this widespread corruption (which is culture bound) can be removed, there will not be de facto equality between the third world and the West or the East.
Yeah…the fact that TSMC, a company from Taiwan, is worth almost as much as the top 100 South Korean companies combined must be sobering for them. If they cannot outcompete 23 million Chinese people in such an important industry, then outcompeting 1.4 billion Chinese people will be incredibly difficult.
Actually, done by anyone else, this is quite badass.
