For real, I was reading how there were pro-Yuan and pro-Ming factions in Korea even after Yuan was evicted out of China into the Mongolian plateau. Even when the Yuan empire was dead, the Korean King was a pro-Yuan boot-licker and ordered his general to attack Ming..... The General was like "that's suicide to attack Ming" and turned his troops against the King in a coup....
South Koreans are par excellence in serving the Great. It's actually unfathomable for them how China can develop without being a obedient lackey of West. At the start of trade war, South Korean commenter was like " China should give up, it shouldn't even try, it's going to lose to U.S." ... their identity as "Superior" is in tatters when China actually overcome all tariffs and tech bans. That's a huge shock to them, they refuse to believe it.
