I'm obsessed with asian culture, no not anime. Where should I focus my energies? I want to pick a nation and stick with it. I have been learning Mandarin and reading about China for a while now. I spend at least 10 hours a week on it.
But I wonder if maybe China is the culture or the past, and it is Japan I would rather focus on?
On the one hand, Japan adopted western ideals, and is the advanced for it. I also do enjoy Japanese people and feel a common bond with them.
On the other, China is a nation of the ages. It is a cradle of civilization, yadayada..
China has a long history but they’ve made plenty of mistakes. Japan’s history is also long but not as long as China’s but there are some incredible stories there that are admirable and definitely show you why Japanese people have so much pride in themselves.
It’s like studying the Hellenistic Greeks vs the Persians.
oh heck, op was genuine and started a chink hate thread by accident, was about to discuss but now, EJECT, ABANDON THREAD

lol u are so funny
I'm not studying pride, I'm studying the force in the world. China has more incredible stores I am sure, as well as more shameful ones. Appreciate the response.
Depends on what you find interesting. Japanese (and Korean) culture has a lot of western influences, while China's culture has been properly ruined by Mao so neither is all that authentic. If you're want to look into their historical culture you'll have it easier in Japan because there's no censorship. >it is a cradle of civilization Maybe, maybe not.

>20,000-30,000 civilians were eaten holy shit its real
The truth about the Communist Party of China. The truth about Mao Zedong. Why the Chinese are incapable of empathy. What China was like before communism. The truth about Chinese culture, cuisine and medicine. The truth about Chinese civilization. The truth about the Chinese race. The truth about the last dynasty of China. The truth about Chinese history. The truth about the Terracotta Army. The truth about China's "glorious" past. Every time shit hits the fan in China... The truth about Chinese warfare. The truth about Chinese IQ and intelligence. The truth about Chinese creativity and inventiveness. Do not do business in China. The truth about Chinese pollution. The Chinese are the world's greatest thieves.

Why is it always the chinese posters acting like kikes against japan. false flagging and vpn posting while being extremely obvious.
When you talk about nanking from the perspective of the chinese with a belgian flag it's pretty fucking obvious Ming.

I also don't understand why they would think talking about nanking on Jow Forums would even get them anywhere. If anything it would make most Jow Forumstards like the Japanese more
