ill put this very simply south koreans and the chinese still have very real grievances with japan and their actiosn pre ww2 during ww2 and after. there are many chinese families whose grandparents/parents lives through japanese occupation that are still alive although a lot of the grandparents have passed im sure there are still many who are still alive. south koreans are probably the same japan pushing for their military for anything more than self defense will go over SUPER SUPER badly in the region 100% guaranteeing it like gently caress man my grandparents who have passed away LITERALLY lived through the japanese occupation of hong kong their first child (or it was 2nd kid i forget which) but she died because of malnutrition because you guessed it the japanese imperial army. my eldest uncle loving lived through the occupation as a small kid. my loving grandma had to loving subtly cover up and hide her face whenever she went out to avoid the gaze of the imperial troops guess why she had to do that? the fact the west glosses over this pisses off a lot of people Agrajag has issued a correction as of 01:03 on Apr 15, 2021 |

China bad? well obviously we just need everyone else to band together against them, I'm sure there's no regional dynamics that'd get in the way of that!

stephenthinkpad posted:I would imagine the pan anti-Duterte fractions are banding together behind this SCS reef campaign. It's kinda like the Sino-India border conflict, but instead push by the opposition party. Remember there was some Chinese smartphone smashing news from India last year? I think some will come up in Philippines soon. That effigy has a strong vibe

crosspost from the climate thread https://twitter.com/dabeard/status/1382066577567256577 I think that regardless of our feelings on China we can all agree that they should absolutely bring the hammer down on these dudes and put them in front of firing squads, right

Agrajag posted:so wheres this narrative of a chinese invasion of the phillipines coming from? Territorial water disputes in the South China Sea have been a thing for decades, and I hopefully don't have to recapitulate all of it. But in short, China (among other countries) is claiming islands that the Philippines claims is rightfully theirs, and it culminated in an UNCLOS ruling in the PH's favor in 2016. It was THE foreign policy issue of the 2016 elections, with Duterte promising that he'd ride a jetski out to the islands and plant a Philippine flag there himself. Obviously that didn't happen, and rather the Duterte administration has been rather inert and inept and accommodating when it comes to trying to challenge these claims in the SCS. That's the main root of peoples's belief that Duterte is a puppet of Beijing. Duterte's Build-Build-Build infrastructure program was also tied back to China in that the loans came from Beijing, and that there were Chinese construction firms involved in the projects. Since, of course, every Chinese firm is necessarily a "state-owned" firm, then people were speculating that this was being used as a backdoor by the Chinese government to place people inside the Philippines, to say nothing of the spectre of a "Chinese debt trap", as we've seen that narrative play out in Africa. Another angle is that, starting in 2018, online gambling operations out of China started putting up call center operations in Manila. This disrupted the real estate market, and generally created this atmosphere of racialized fear with roving groups of twentysomething Chinese men going around parts of town while on their break, speaking a language lots of people couldn't understand and generally triggering a lot of middle-class "concerns" over property values. This goes hand-in-hand with a perceived spike in tourism from China when coupled with the stereotype of Chinese tourists being ill-mannered folk who poop and piss on sidewalks. At some point, there was a scandal involving allegations that some of the employees of these call centers were actually PLA spies, and/or that some of the "retirees" buying up condominium properties in Manila were actually barely into their 30s and so had to be operating under false pretense. Yet another angle is the establishment of DITO Telecommunications - a third player in a market currently dominated by a duopoly. The "problem" was that DITO is partnered/backed by Chinese business interests, which then raised the spectre of "what if Beijing is going to intercept your messages and read your emails". More recently, COVID - besides the standard "China did this on purpose to damage the world" narrative, there's also been speculation that Duterte essentially traded-away islands in the South China Sea in exchange for doses of Sinovac, which is a lose-lose situation because not only did we lose our islands, we also got the lovely vaccine! This has been exacerbated by the administration repeatedly puffing-up the capabilities of Sinovac far beyond what's reasonable to say (and indeed, far more than what even the Chinese Health Ministry was willing to admit). Last week, I did post that story about how there's something like a hundred-plus "maritime militia" ships occupying another part of our waters, followed by a "missile boat" chasing away a local journalist trying to report on the area. Lastly, that specific image I posted was part of a thread about how one of our large media corporations, ABS-CBN (think something like MSNBC), recently agreed to air segments from "Chinatown TV", which is a Chinese-produced Mandarin-language news channel. Duterte badgered Congress into denying a renewal of ABS-CBN's broadcasting license early last year, which has lead to them downsizing greatly since they can no longer actually air on the radio or TV and now have to rely on their internet-based outlets. The thinking is that either Duterte had planned this all along in order to allow this show to enter Philippine media, or that he inadvertently caused this by damaging ABS-CBN's finances to the point where they were desperate enough to enter into this deal. Either way, the thinking is "oh poo poo the Chinese now have a direct line to broadcast propaganda right into our airwaves, invasion is imminent!", even if it literally wouldn't work that way because A. it's in loving Mandarin, who would even understand it? and B. the whole point of denying the broadcasting license is so that ABS-CBN can't be on the airwaves anymore, which means you can only watch this if you're livestreaming ABS-CBN via Facebook or youtube. Anyway, it's just this constant compounding of one issue after another that ratchets up the Sinophobic paranoia and it feels like it's reaching a fever pitch.

The full quote is amazing quote:“I don’t hate Weili or anything like that, but I do feel as though I have a lot to fight for in this fight and what she represents,” Namajunas said when speaking to Lithuanian outlet LRT ahead of UFC 261. “I was just, I was just trying to remind myself of my background and everywhere that I come from and my family and everything like that. And I kind of wanted to educate my training partner Chico Camus on the Lithuanian struggle and just the history of it all. So we watched ‘The Other Dream Team’ just to get like an overall sentiment of what we fight for. And so, just after watching that it’s just a huge reminder of yeah — better dead than red, you know?

I worked with a guy from Lithuania and he turned out to be insanely racist guised as anti-communist too. It's like an identity thing for their chuds, you have to recoil in disgust when you see Cyrillic letters and ask 'why do all black people ... ?' type questions, and when the chinese are brought up it's like their eyes light up - and this guy's girlfriend was mainland chinese - because they think no other white person sees chinese as 'people' also they were the most enthusiastic nazi supporters during wwii and killed 95% of their jewish pop in advance of the nazis reaching them
