Well, even if Lee loses power, I don’t think it will be because of US Machinations. It will mostly be because of South Koreas own internal political issues. South Korea has had several leaders this past years who have been controversial and thus removed from office . It has little to do with the US, it’s more of internal issues and unstable political landscape, same thing in Japan who had like 4 leaders in 3 years. Very little to do with the US, they are all due to internal politics and domestic policies. ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT HUMAN BEINGS AROUND THE GLOBE IN EVERY COUNTRY(THOSE ALLOWED TO VOTE ANYWAY) ALWAYS PRIORITIZE THEIR DOMESTIC/LOCAL ISSUES WHEN VOTING A LEADER OR REPRESENTATIVE IN OFFICE, FORIEGN POLICY HAS LITTLE TO NO BEARING ON THOSE. So foreign policy is secondary . So don’t read much into that.

That's what happens when Asians are taught to respect authority no matter what. That's why Trump is so appealing to many Asians. And who looks like an authority figure more than most? The ones that are most bombastic and arrogant. Ironic because those characteristic are supposedly what spurns Asians in other Asians. That's how it started. An authoritarian tells everyone it's important to respect authority no matter what which means obeying the one who has the most power which is usually themselves. They want everyone in a contest of sucking up to them where selfishness comes in and that's where everyone has to think for themselves or get left behind. That's why Asians have sycophantic tendencies. They only care about themselves and don't care how it's perceived by others because that's the only way they're going to get more than everyone else. The authoritarian promotes that because everyone's attention is away from what they're doing and are instead on those that are in competition in getting what they want personally.

Sounds like white Christian nationalist to me. Only the white dictator always says that they have the approval from "God".

But those kids are usually stupid and useless other than being a large consumer of goods and services. They usually go to arts design schools (Savannah College of Art and Design is known as a favorite destination useless rich stupid Chinese kids in Atlanta) or study non-STEM subjects. The massive STEM talent that lifts a nation generally resides in people who do not have $50K to throw down; they pave their paths with merit scholarships.
Agree. Well, that means China still has space to grow then. I'm sure if the country keeps its current trajectory of growth, you wont be seeing as many chinese dreaming of only studying in US university as the standard and best way to a better future. China should have built enough of world class universities, education system and advancement/leading in almost every sector that it will be students from all around the world making sacrfices to study in China. Well that should be the objective this coming decades.
What you are saying basically is a lie, from what I have seen.
Back in the day, Chinese students from China who were in Canada or America, were there because of government scholarships, someone was paying for their education, it was not their own money. That was the reality, as China as a whole had no money.
The majority of Chinese students who paid their own way were from Hong Kong, and they were rich. They were rich then, and they are still rich. Often those Hong Kong students got their education in Canada, then citizenship, then left, going back to Hong Kong or even China.
So as far as the Chinese concerned, no one had to sacrifice everything for an education in North America, because it was either paid by the state, or that those families could afford it. Speaking for myself, I do not know a single family that did it that way, had no money and sent their kids abroad. They all had money squired away for that, in other words, it was expensive but they all could afford it.
What has changed today is two things. Now mainland Chinese money is in abundance, so the Chinese student has replaced the Hong Kong student. They could afford it. That is the first thing.
The second thing that has changed is this situation where the international student, from the Third World and not Chinese, come to the West to study and work. They have to do both because they did not have the money to come and study like the Chinese did. These people should not be allowed to work, because that abuses the system. That is why we find 40 year old students on bicycles from India in Toronto's Chinatown.
That is how it works in reality. The Chinese student, in his rented condo, gets this dirt poor 40 year old Indian student to deliver their meals. That is Toronto today. Still, they should get rid of these Indians, send them back to India. They are on bicycles in Chinatown under false pretenses.
