Honestly Korean popular culture is still pretty popular in China, though not what it was in the 2010s. The Chinese government sees the new government in South Korea as a relatively friendly / neutral one so it’s not willing to directly act against South Korea for these people to people insults.

Chinese netizens however are free to retaliate at the grass roots level if they wish. There’s tons of targets they could go after for boycotts and internet shame campaigns. There just needs to be will & the recognition it’s happening. These racist establishments & their owners can be placed on a permanent de facto black list to ensure their businesses suffer in the future.

C-nets have said that when it comes to Chinese affinity for Korean and Japanese pop culture, its a country of 1.4 billion people so even if just say 2% of China's population were fans of this stuff, that's still going to equal the number of Americans that read manga on a regular basis. As for online traffic, pop culture appeals to nerdoms so obviously fanboys/girls with nothing better to do are going to be more vocal than people who actually have things to worry about in life and only peruse social media to alleviate boredom. When taken as a whole, this stuff is still pretty niche in China.

When it comes to actual Korean attitudes, eventhough I've sounded tough in the past I do remind myself that social media and isolated incidents blown up by the news don't paint a complete picture. Why else for example would Shanghai actually be SK youth's favorite outbound destination, instead of Tokyo or Bangkok? Shit even till now Chinese social media is flooded with content about at any given time half the people at Zhangjiajie are Korean.

Perhaps I could one day visit Seoul and be open about being of Chinese heritage to see if things are really that bad. Afterall, it's worked out for me in Europe in the past, haha. But as others have said, if I'm not Kpop or Drama follower, then what's there to do? By East Asian megacity standards Seoul's cityscape is quite bland and if you've been to the Forbidden City you've already seen 90% of SK's historical sites.

South Korean bars and cafes putting up "No Chinese" signs.

These cafes and bars justify their discrimination by saying that they would piss off their Korean customers if they allow Chinese customers in. One whiskey bar owner questions why it's racist, because South Koreans have done anti-Japanese campaigns before. Yeah, then why do you label the Chinese cockroaches, and why don't you ban the Japanese too? All of this is just old fashioned racism. Another road side witness laments that South Koreans think that everything bad, including Covid comes from China.

Funny that the SK media doesn't want to call out discrimination against the Chinese as even racism at all. If South Koreans face discrimination in China, we can bet that they'll be screaming about racism and abuse. I have seen a video of a South Korean tourist going to Yanbian and questioning to a Hanbok shop why they consider Hanbok a Chinese heritage. Yet the Chinese shopkeeper remained courteous, but just confused. South Koreans will not face the same level of abuse in China because it's a different type of society and government.

So I see little thawing in the relationship between South Korea and China anytime soon. Even if their governments try to work things out, things are still not looking good on the common people level. Well, long may the silent boycott against SK products continue. SK is welcomed to follow Japan to economic stagnation. It needs to continue being taught that it is not the Master of East Asia.

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.

It’s evident that jewish Groups have decided to increase their influence in Asia considering that Asia is where the greatest growth and wealth is going to be, I watched a TikTok where a local man was reporting on Jewish chabad compounds in Thailand which forced the local Thai police to negotiate on access in their own land. In fact I’d say Singapore‘a turn towards Sinophobia has been due to increasing Jewish wealth being funneled into Singapore.

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...
