honestly the position which China is taking on the issue is simply ridiculous, I mean for fuck's claim their claims literally go right up to the fucking Filipino shoreline.
IMO Spratly is where it gets interesting considering the number of players. Even Taiwan a million miles away controls a few islands armed with military.
Caleb Anderson
Thank the ROC (Taiwan).
Claims are from 1946, and based on territories lost to the Japanese during WWII.
Jace Taylor
ROC and PRC always cooperate in these disputes as well, which makes geopolitical sense. Taiwan backed China in the nonbinding UNCLOS decision brought on by Philippines.
I like how Malaysia doesn't make any claims northeast of their eastern island. Such cucks.
Henry Russell
I find it hilarious how Taiwan and China hate each other but tag team SEA when it comes to the islands.

If ASEAN can band together they'll put up a better fight. Unfortunately for them there's too much politics and infighting.
Asian women literally have no ass Absolutely disgusting

Bummed I wasn't able to find their first album anymore when I was in Taiwan, seems to be out of print. Cover is pretty sick with that sheep and the sliding box thing.
Too bad they're like 50$ on Amazon here

Kind of a general question - how popular is Chinese opera in mainland China these days?
I know a lot of it was destroyed under Mao because he thought it was "counter-revolutionary," but how much of a comeback has it made?
Jose Wood
It was never destroyed, it only had different plays for a while

Is she cute?
Ethan Murphy
She's like 6/10, kinda cute in a way but there's really nothing special about her. She's in some kind of band, think it's related to hakka culture
Gabriel Price
Loved it, make a character list first, that way you wont get confused by the names. Also dont read Journey to the West, its terrible.

What kind of "chinese pop" are you trying to introduce? Mr.I'm-not-mainstream
No, but by God its so repetitive, the first 15 chapters were nice, but everything after that is just way to long and recycling the same stories over and over.

Why doesn't China expand their culture? It's way deeper than western culture which is infesting the world now. Living in Chinese world would be better than living in a westernized world. Why don't they set up their own Hollywood, games and music production? Cultural dominance is important and Chinese are the only ones who can give us alternative to world westernization.

冇錯。你好叻呀!

They are trying, but failing
CCP is not very good at the cultural soft power game outside of a few Asian countries
Easton Barnes
Maybe now that they're copying Japan's animay they may find a way to supplant them and invest on the void the market shrinking has left.
Luke Walker
The problem IMO is that CCP is too heavyhanded and overbearing, kills creativity
I know I'm on a chinese cartoon board but I really can't stand it

the people in a continental shouldn't come to islands of sea. if they do, islands people go to continental.
