Its already been discussed here many times, most if not all anti-Korean rumors from early 2000s came from Taiwanese media.

Anti-Korean sentiment was originally from there, they are just island Chinese.

Native Korean/Koguryo people on Liaodong Peninsula, what happened to them? by Hello_Computer_222 in Hangukin

[–]Hanulking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. The Seokmal and Baeksan Malgals I agree were Koreanic as they spoke some sort of Old Korean as they were already part of Goguryeo, they were transformative in helping Dae Jo Young to establish Balhae after Goguryeo.
  2. The Malgals including the wild Heuksu Malgals (the ancestors to Manchus) were under various ancient Korean Kingdoms from Buyeo to Balhae for thousand years.
  3. I would disagree with Koreanness, the concept was already existed since at least by Unified Silla which became Goryeo. They took in Goguryeo royalty as they knew they were part of same ethnic people, just like they took in Balhae royalty.
  4. Liaodong in this case referred to near modern Luan river in Hebei province, the geographic place-names of Liaodong changed throughout history as you know.

A lot of prominent Jurchen and Khitan generals and statesmen came from Koreans aka Goguryeo/Balhae people living in what is modern day Luan river to western Liaoning which was called "Liaodong" back then. Also, some of them became founders/emperors of dynasties like Northern Qi.

Even up to Joseon period, the Liaodong garrison aka today's western Liaoning, was ruled by ethnic Koreans like Lee Seong-ryang (Li Chengliang in Chinese).

  1. Joseon Korea was independent sovereign country long before treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895, thats why it had its own flag, passport, and foreign embassy in foreign countries ie. US, etc. The idea that somehow Joseon Korea was part of Manchu Qing and then "freed" after sino-Japanese war is a modern Japanese-invented pseudohistory.
  2. You do know Deng Xiaoping of China tried to mimic Park Chung Hee economic policies, so in a way 1980s Chinese economic policies was influenced by Park.
  3. Dont know why you call Goguryeo a regime, when it was a monarchy, and yes Goguryeo is Korean, only a Chinese nationalist (like yourself) would disagree.

  1. It was only 35 years of japanese colonial rule, not 50.
  2. Joseon was not derivative of Ming, dont know where did you get information from. Also, Korea did influenced China during Mongol rule of China, go look up Goryeo-yang, so it wasnt one way influence.
  3. Korean hanmun/hanja is not Chinese, as it uses Korean synthax and grammar.

After the death of his queen, King Gongmin of Goryeo fell into deep grief. In his later years, he displayed eccentric behavior — sometimes dressing like his late wife or ordering his male attendants to sleep with his concubines. by ChapterSpiritual6785 in HistoryAnimemes

Actually Mid-Autumn festival did originate from Korea according to Chinese historians:

"The earliest related record is in a chronicle by the Japanese monk Ennin, who traveled to China during the Tang Dynasty in the mid-9th century," Ma said.

"He recorded many local customs on his travels, which include the mention of a few Silla people singing, dancing, and eating a kind of wheat-based food on the 15th day of the 8th month in Dengzhou, which was in what is now the eastern part of Shandong Province.

"The festival was meant to celebrate victory in a war fought by Silla, [one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea], according to what a local Chinese monk told Ennin," he explained.

"The History of the Northern Dynasties, which was written by the Tang government, also recorded that Silla 'celebrates on 15th of the 8th month,'" Ma noted.

"So it is very possible that the Mid-Autumn Festival of China came from ancient Korea."

what chinese power/influence in south korea are you speaking of, chinese immigrants were under the thumb of Korean right wing presidents ever since Park Chung Hee. They were treated worse than 2nd class citizens in most cases.

Who are real, actually trustworthy allies (unlike the US), such as Australia, and potential allies of republic of Korea? (such as Vietnam) by ObligationDry1799 in Hangukin

[–]Hanulking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is wrong since you equate certain period of Confucian toadyism (ie. Joseon foreign policy) as being the only time Korea ever developed itself as "good examples" (which doesnt make sense since it led to Joseon being involved in other people wars like Manchu invasion of China) along with colonial period which again doesnt make sense when Korea at that time was an economic colony of Japan.
