Kinda make sense why Koreans don't like China now.

I think Koreans in general just don't know much about China. Last year, my older sister came to visit me in Pennsylvania, and we ran into one of my Korean classmates on campus. Obviously I'm not going to post a picture of my sister, but she looks really, really similar to this YouTuber called Aini. Basically, she looks like a typical Chinese girl. Anyway, this guy messaged me the day after and asked me if my sister is Korean. Obviously, I was confused and told him that she isn't Korean, but then he asked me if my family has any Korean ancestry. I told him that the chances of that are close to zero since our ancestors are from Fujian, but he kept on insisting. This was an isolated incident, but it left me with the impression that Koreans don't really know much about China or Chinese people.

To be fair I can’t tell different Asians apart either, at least not without my trusty protractor that most hate crime perpetrators can’t properly operate.

Quite frankly I am appalled by how many kneelers there are. It was only through the stupidity of enemy that China made the right call. This stupidity cannot be relied on. China should make good choice independent of enemy being stupid.

Few recognize that the US is a bad faith actor and cannot be trusted further than you can throw it. Good luck throwing their landmass by the way.

As for the populace? I'd say they are just as complicit in their government's actions. The average American enjoys great economic and influence privileges in the world due to exploitive and imperialistic means. Their quality of life is supported by the suffering of the global south. Their tax dollars actively contribute to maintaining the global status quo.

"Start your revolution yourself, you coward!" No. I am not American, whose identities are built upon citizens' armed resistance to tyranny. You claim to be a representative democracy yet moan about your delegates not representing you. I bet y'all are unwilling to get your guns and overthrowing the government because it would affect your standard of living should you succeed. How convenient the tyrants you live under outsource suffering to the rest of the world.

Do most Filipinos look like Bongbong Marcos? To me, he looks like a southern Chinese person, but darker.

The area I grew up in didn't have many Vietnamese people, and I remember being surprised to find out that they look pretty similar to Taiwanese and other southern Chinese people. I wonder if this is the case with Filipino people too.

Are they Viet-Viet, or are they Chinese-Viet? A lot of Viet diaspora in North America are Chinese-Viet. I think it is not that hard to tell FOB east asians apart, but American born ones are much harder to tell apart from looks alone.

I remember how at the beginning of the trade war, a top Korean economics professor was like "China should just acquiese to US demands, it will not win the trade war against US, just give up or Chinese economy be destroyed"

It's that their identity is rooted in serving the Great , which in this era, is serving the US. They cannot fathom an independent Asian nation standing toe to toe against West or US, because all they see is lackey Japan.

This is why all that soft power and hard power discussions were so time wasting. If one has no hard power, no amount of soft power will make others look up to you.

One needs hard power, technology, economic dominance to have others look up to you then one can use their soft power.

A lot of these Asian countries look down on china since china was so behind for most of their memory. That perception can't change unless china has overwhelmingly strong hard power. Once that happens, and china cango toe to toe with the US without issues, more people will look up to china and take in Chinese soft power.

This goes for other Asians and people from Hong Kong. If china exceeds the US in hard power, many of them will change their tune and be more pro china. Everyone likes a winner.

It would be incredibly on brand for NED funded roaches to use their CIA-training to launch a terrorist attack on America and for America to blame China for it to start a war.

The biggest difference is that when America looses this war, it won’t be able to simply walk away.

I reiterate my demand that nothing less than the land and territories of the five eyes will satisfy Chinese vengeance. Five Demands, Not One Less.

There is so much genetic diversity in China itself, that I have seen Chinese versions of Anya Taylor joy and Angelina Jolie in the Beijing subway. Koreans should regard themselves as no different to Chinese considering a former Shang dynasty prince founded a kingdom there and the region used to be a Han dynasty commandery.

Well, the alternative is Americans driving outdated and expensive cars in a country where car ownership is a must. Oil and gas lobby spends and incredible amount of money to hide that but green is not only green nowadays. It is also more economic.
Of course they could do economic and educational reforms to become competitive again but that is not going to happen in their political climate.
