because we've got no job here
also korean people dont hate japan as we used to do
also korean people never protest against japanese people like they do in japan

Korean is similar to Japanese in terms of grammer.
Chainese is similar to Japanese in terms of vocabulary and character.

I've never seen someone speaking japanese in my life.

Japanese culture is richer than Korean and Chinese. Japs can draw into hentai.

>Japanese culture is richer than Korean and Chinese
>Korean
Yes
>Chinese
No

But Chinese can't into hentai!

Nippon

>post-Cultural Revolution China
>culture

>learning the language of the country which neighbors you and has a great share in your country's trades

Why is this surprising?

I would too if I lived close to Japan and had a chance to immigrate.

You can't loose if you choose Japan.
The country has strong economy.
All basic need are covered.
Has amazing health care.
People polite and educated.

Sounds like heaven on Earth.

Most Japanese people are not learning Korean/Chinese

except that no one actually emigrates to Japan.

90% of all my Japanese friends are either learning Korean or Chinese.

I'm sure there are remnants of it still in China today.

Besides anime and manga and games we also watch j-dorama
After that we do biz or look for jobs under Japanese boss
Or in some rare cases I have heard that few Taiwanese civil engineering people learn Japanese for their knowledge

Then there is literature and history and humanities. I think it's safe to say that Japanese once influenced Chinese literature greatly. A big chunk of professional vocabulary came from Japan. Words like science and economy

For books of general interest, today Japan publish many books and organize many departments of knowledge nicely.

they like anime
middle‐aged ladies like Korean actors.
when I took an examination of Korean language once, there were many middle‐aged ladies around me.

most koreans and chinese are not learning japanese tho do you believe everything on the internet?

Why don't you learn Japanese?

>also korean people dont hate japan as we used to do

bait

why do you think so?

I can't find the statistics right now but in China and Korea, it was usually 2nd to English in popularity.

Go away cool japan shill, shoo shoo!

Take this book for example. It's about "Toyota style of management". There are lots of other books translated from Japan.

To be sure, china produces valuable textbooks on science and industry and engineering. But on some "lighter" and "softer" topics such as "organizing your office" or "throw away things you don't need" Japanese books are really attractive and popular.

Japanese publishing industry had been admired by some of us for a long time despite they too are shrinking recent years

Well indeed Japanese learners are very few. Much Fewer than English learners

But I would say they are very active and visible

kanban style

Hahaha no

Because it's really really difficult to learn.

Why not learn Japanese then.
I tried but I can't get through the alphabet part and there is verb forms behind it.
Better stick with English I already knew. Still sometimes I wonder if it would have been fun if I had gone through the troubles

Chinese language is one of second foreign languages just like Spanish and French and so on.
Korean language also is often included in second foreign languages recently.

It's good to know but not everyone needs to learn.

I hear that very old people in Taiwan and Korea can speak Japanese.
and I hear that those acts had been forbidden until recently.

I'm from China and I don't recall anyone wanting to learn Japanese. Everyone just wants to learn English.

it seems that there is a thing like this
Asian Japanese learners group
pearsonvue.com/bjt/

but Chinese workers I know don't look interested in that much.

且つ又、日本語はとても難しいです。

Not many Chinese are interested because not many Chinese aspire to move to Japan so few learn the language. Everyone I knew wanted to live in Australia or America so learned English.

They want to go to the US or EU in reality.
But Japan is much cheaper to take an airplane.
>tfw I realized it costs more than $1000 just to go to the US.

CHINESE OUT!

it seems that Chinese people who move to Japan increase recently.
they sometimes buy apartments in Japan and get into Japanese companies.

Idk

No i don't because that's translators duty

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_28_Incident

'The February 28 Incident or February 28 Massacre, also known as the 2.28 Incident (from Chinese: 二二八事件; pinyin: Èr’èrbā shìjiàn), was an anti-government uprising in Taiwan that was violently suppressed by the Kuomintang-led Republic of China government, which killed thousands of civilians beginning on February 28, 1947. The number of Taiwanese deaths is estimated to be 10,000.[1]'

'During the 50 years of Japanese rule in Taiwan (1895–1945), Japan developed Taiwan's economy and raised the standard of living for most Taiwanese people, building up Taiwan as a supply base for the Japanese main islands. Consequently, Taiwanese perceptions of the Japanese rule were more favorable than perceptions in other parts of East and Southeast Asia. Taiwanese adopted Japanese names and practiced Shinto, while the schools instilled a sense of "Japanese spirit" in students. By the time World War II began, many Taiwanese were proficient in the Japanese language.'

'In 1945, following the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, the Allied Forces handed temporary administrative control of Taiwan to the Republic of China (ROC), thus ending 50 years of Japanese colonial rule.


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen_Yi_(Kuomintang)

"It took the Japs [sic.] 51 years to dominate this island. I expect to take about five years to re-educate the people so they will be more happy with Chinese administration."(1947)

many Koreans went home after the earthquake.
and it seems that it switched with Chinese.

I didn't know it...

Because they enjoyed curb stomping EnglishOnlyRetard in uni level Jap course?

Japanese literature was popular in Taiwan. I don't know about current china and Korea.

Another example I can think of, is that many famous Chinese writers studied in Japan. They also learned the cool western things from Japan.

Besides that Japanese also wrote lots of humanities books

Support Taiwanese movies then

I really don't know why I post these things except for vanity

The coast in Taiwan is very much beautiful.
