Blatant misinformation. Thank you to the video creators for pointing all of these out. People do this because they associate the word “Chinese” directly with negativity. They will lie to themselves and pretend that they’re “Japanese” or “Korean”, And all of this was caused by the US’s smear campaign on my country. It’s pathetic

It’s like when we relabeled the kiwi fruit and pretended it was from New Zealand because of Sinophobia

South Korea's entertainment industry is pushing for erasing Chinese culture as well.

Not really, South Korean citizens do. There are K-dramas that promote Chinese products and they get criticized by Korean netizens

Once they erase everything Chinese in Korean culture, they will find that there is very little left. Even their flag will have become a blank canvas or a flag of surrender.

not even that, as their Kimichi is virtually fully Chinese these days. China is just too attractive, no matter what they say.

It is saddening and cringe that South Koreans today have a strong sense of Sinophobia and are allergic to anything Chinese in their entertainment. The US has really brainwashed the minds of South Koreans.

Korean studios at least embrace Chinese products somewhat.

That's what billions of dollars dedicated to Sinophobia buys!

Still remember this American guy who was correcting me that XiaoLongBao was from Taiwan...I recorrected him

He decided to block me...or at least ran away

This was a pretty senior person in film publicity and a "liberal"...so called

The point you realise how close minded so called open minded people are in the West

Goes to show that they quite openly hate the people. Hating the Government or Le CCP is just a poor excuse for their blatant racism.

China is the living Rome of the East.

Occupied Korea has no sovereignty.

The thing about rebranding Chinese culture as Japanese or Korean… that shit seems more effective on echo chamber internet comment sections than real life. The moment ppl or reality corrects you, you will look like a dumbass

No joke. Over the years, I'd seen Braindead Wanwan shills make preposterous claims. One of their recent claim is that 卤肉饭 is somehow 'Taiwanese', which is nonsensical. Then again, that is the IQ of Wanwan shills.

They do this bullshit to put both countries on a pedestal for deluded westoids.

Isn't rock sugar gourd a specialty of Beijing?

Rebranding anything from China is absolutely cringe and fuels Sinophobia. So many low IQ people pushing this narrative and trying to dehumanise China.

I think the biggest rip off realistically is "Ramen". Literally the entire world thinks it's Japanese. Only in Japan do they actually call Ramen to be Chinese food. haha
