stephenthinkpad posted:If Trump stay in White House for a few more years, we Chinese Americans probably will find new homes in a camp. I know the current Chinese American population is near 4 million. what was the Japanese American population during WW2? Trying to calculate if Trump has enough budget to build the camps. that’s dark as gently caress but I’m sure you could crunch some numbers on those southern migrant camps for inspiration

Antonymous posted:She's Taiwanese Are you talking Chinese American or Chinese nationals in America? Unlike 1942 Japanese nowadays Chinese (Han) Americans are woven pretty tightly into the US power structure. You might get more racist assholes openly loving with you but you wont have state repression. Chinese students and H1Bs are in a pretty shaky spot though. I can see some fuckery ahead for them.

I was checking out the China-Laos railway project progress on a YouTube today and came across a guy talking about it. His YouTube handle was "American Rail Club" or something but he spent 2/3 of the video ranting about China and recommend the "China Uncensored" channel. At first I was confused because hating China was a weird position for a railroad fan to take and he looked Hispanic. But soon he explained he is Cuban and his parents got kicked out by Castro. So it seems like the Taiwanese Americans are basically Asian version of Cubans living in Florida.

stephenthinkpad posted:So it seems like the Taiwanese Americans are basically Asian version of Cubans living in Florida. No this is pretty wrong. Taiwan still exists and they can go back and run a business or w/e. There's no Taiwanese gusanos displaced from their plantations, and there's no strong political streak in the taiwanese-american identity afaik. Andrew Yang is Taiwanese American, so is Elain Chao and this trump judge, though I think Yang was born in the US. Ferdinand the Bull posted:Are you talking Chinese American or Chinese nationals in America? Elain Chao and this trump judge would have had ROC passports at some point, never PRC. idk if you think some cuban who joins the republican party has a racial duty to protect latin american kids detained by ICE, but obviously it doesn't bear out

Do you think there is going to be an organized pogrom against Chinese in America? What's the big fear? Im an American, but ethnically a Russian Jew. Ive noticed more anti-Russian anti-Jew stuff recently, but Im not worried about the government. You should relax, things are hosed, but it is survivable.

And president elected Lai Ching-te establish Republic of Taiwan government in exile in the US?

Either ETIM/NED/whoever is coercing people, or the CCP is.

Unlike how it's being presented there, it's never good news when a family's members disagree with each other about whether one of their own is dead. Whether because of threats or bribes to everyone on one side.

Looks like Tiktok is not selling https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...urce=reddit.com It reads like Bytedance is getting a management company to run the US accounts. And also dare Trump go out of his way to sanction Tiktok. Also ARM is sold. A lot of news tonight.

how is the spider web analogy in conflict with the idea of causality it sounds like a more complicated version of causality which acknowledges that single actions can affect multiple things at once in ways that arent always easy to predict this is like saying the inscrutable orientals have mastered the occult idea of object permanence something completely irrelevant to our daily lives and theyve only been tricked into thinking its important by centuries of neoconfucian brainwashing

Sometimes Chinese investors force a pop star or chinese celeb onto a hollywood film, where they end up a featured extra. Tencent and Wanda are spending money, wouldn't call it a bid for cultural hegemony. I watched that Bruce Willis film that got banned a few years ago and it's like cringey bad. Incompetent editing, storytelling, CGI. Bruce Willis doesn't even act he just says his lines deadpan (no joke). I've seen a lot of trashy chinese films and its easily one of the most embarrassing. It won't be a battle for hegemony for a long time, sadly.

Westerners use logic, go down lists of problems and solve them in order, mechanical thinking. Chinese will table hard problems to solve easy problems, which might make hard problems easier when you get to them. Don't stick to rigid logic, just consider benefit / cost. I've heard those from business people in asia. I think that both cultures do both in about equal frequency. Everyone wants to be a china-explainer tho

That's literally all there is to it. There's a whole white media complex writing elaborate editorials trying to tap dance around this topic in the same way they do re: anything about China. Just an industry churning out millions of pages of bumpf every day about how they're "not racist but" but if you've lived in it your whole life then it becomes normal even if you're not white.

Ever notice how big American movies released in China are almost always play it safe, by the numbers trash with nothing to say like The MCU and Fast & Furious films?

comedyblissoption posted:lol that the ideological battle being waged on how much american capitalists should cater to chinese culture and politics boils down to Number Up vs Racism The Fast & Furious franchise is successful internationally in large part because it has the most racially diverse cast of any major movie franchise by far, in addition to being generally good action movies. So obviously it's worthless schlock that must make room for the inner monologue of some white guy.

It appears that Yoshihide Suga has won the LDP election and will become Japan's next PM. Suga was one of Abe's top men so it looks like Japan will likely continue its current right-wing swing. Suge is also known for using the full might of the bureaucracy against people who slight him so expect heavy shakeups. I fully expect Japan will have a vote on repealing article 9 within the next five years, likely sped along by Suga's willingness to gently caress with dissenters.
