Shouldn't the default assumption be that China can equal anything done elsewhere?

Black Myth Wukong is yet another big F-U to all those haters like the Bobalibs, KMT zealots, HK roaches, Serpentza, Peter Zeihan, Jai Hinds, and all those other haters who say that China has no culture.

I want to give a special F-U to a Malaysian Chinese podcaster who said that China has no culture. He said that Taiwan and Malaysia has culture, but mainland China has none. For someone who claims that he had visited his ancestral village in China, this guy insults his ancestors.

Chiang Kai-shek stole lots of China's treasures and put them on Taiwan. But he can't steal the temples, the palaces, the cave sculptures, and more importantly the soul of China. The Cultural Revolution, for all it's wrongs, didn't wipe out Chinese culture, contrary to what the PRC haters would like to have you believe.

Malaysian Chinese culture is merely a continuation of Southern Chinese culture, adapted for the local environment. It mostly began in the 19th Century. Some even date back to the Ming Dynasty. Still, that cannot be compared to the thousands of years of culture in China itself. It's just a branch of a greater tree.

That Malaysian Chinese podcaster must be one of those shallow and arrogant idiots who still cling to the belief that the mainland Chinese are beneath them. He wants to identify himself as more "Malay" than Chinese. His kind is a familiar sight among the other Chinese diasporas. You wanna become a Malay, that's your own choice. But be respectful to the Chinese people and all those Malaysian Chinese who still love their motherland. You said that China has "no culture". So Black Myth Wukong and I say: "F**k you!"

I'm afraid that is Jai Hind thinking. They are the ones who assume that they can equal or exceed anything done elsewhere. The Chinese are pragmatic, they don't assume that they are the best in everything. But they believe in actually being good and letting the results speak for themselves.

I was referring to the views that non-Chinese should have about China.

For example, when someone thinks of Japan or South Korea, what sort of default assumptions should they have?

In recent years, their attitude has become increasingly hostile. The Japanese are slightly better, but the Koreans are very bad. Korean films and TV works always deliberately portray China as a very bad country, and show off that they are better than China.
For me, it is a very arrogant idealism.
I watched some Japanese discussions on "Black Myth Wukong" on ltaaa.cn. Their attitude was very contemptuous, believing that this was just a poor imitation behavior following behind Japan. Even though Ubisoft has humiliated them with black samurai, they still firmly believe that Chinese elements are not as popular as Japanese samurai and ninjas.

Of course, this is only the opinion of some people, but you can intuitively feel that they do not expect China's success.

Aug 21 (Reuters) - The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's incoming freshman class this year dropped to just 16% Black, Hispanic, Native American or Pacific Islander students compared to 31% in previous years after the U.S. Supreme Court banned colleges from using race as a factor in admissions in 2023, the elite engineering school said. The proportion of Asian American students in the incoming class rose from 41% to 47%, while white students made up about the same share of the class as in recent years.
