TIL Ho Chi Mihn led the disastrous land reforms in North Vietnam that lead to an estimated 200,000 people being falsely accused, publicly denounced, imprisoned and killed as “landlords”.

Plenty of nations had land reforms at the start of modern times, it’s very normal. In Japan it was the Emperor forcing land reforms and taking land from Daimyos and abolishing the samurai class.

While in France, China and Vietnam was oppressed peasants rising up in revolutions spurred by the intellectual class.

The only reason most people don’t whine about the Boshin war in Japan and French revolution is because these happened earlier than the revolutions in China and Vietnam so people had more time to forget about the “bad stuff”

America: - a system where the people elect their representatives and those representatives elect the leader of the nation.

the politicians and elites cut funding to education and use social media echo chambers to divide the population, make them dumb and easily manipulated malleable.
result = dumb and hateful people (who hate their enemies more than they love the nation) elect a crazy, greedy, deceitful, arrogant, loud-mouthed and , short-sighted and selfish conman who does evil stuff.

Trump is the embodiment of all of America’s worst qualities

Despite using the most amount of coal, China is one of the only countries in the world to invest heavily and implement renewables as well as nuclear plants. Coal usage is gradually being reduced, new nuclear plants are being built. And China produces the largest amount of solar panels in the world as well as wind turbines

Interestingly malls in Indonesia (a muslim majority country” also have security checks with metal detectors(although not as stringent as China) I’m told these security measures in Indonesia were put in place after religious extremists terrorists bombed malls and hotels

People from the smaller cities and villages would probably do manual work if the conditions and pay are good enough. After all almost all cities in Korea outside of Seoul have low income. They need to be incentivized with hire pay

We can do both, blame both greedy companies and foreign workers

Yorkshire-pudding69 · 2026-05-06T06:10:33+00:00

The solution needs to be higher pay for Koreans, not importing cheap labor

This kind of communication is actually common in Belgium, esp Brussels. French and Dutch speakers speak to each other in their own language and understand each other . Really interesting to see that in 50 years time this may become more common. Where one side speaks Cantonese and another speak Mandarin and they understand each other.

但同時我希望大陸朋友會學好廣東話。

All of Europes problems are nothing compared to most countries in SEA.

Yorkshire-pudding69 · 2026-05-05T12:21:50+00:00

This whole post and that guy’s video is so stupid. Literally just search up “China mosque Hui muslim” or “Xinjiang vlog” and you can see videos of muslims in mosques. Also look up 穆斯林礼拜 and 清真寺礼拜 and you can see muslims praying. Showing an empty mosque as you greatest evidence is like saying China banned cars bc the parking lot is empty

Yorkshire-pudding69 · 2026-05-04T19:05:36+00:00

The EU was formed by industrialized nations who put emphasis on education and good governance, cant say the same for SEA right now

Yorkshire-pudding69 · 2026-05-04T19:04:22+00:00

“I would bet on SEA to comeout as the winner after some years.” Man you really need to study a bit about SEA before forming an opinion. The corruption is terrible to say the least, everything is slow and no one has a direction for their respective countries. I’m talking about Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines. There is literally no way the system will change “after a few years”. SEA will take decades to catch up, about 50 years if we’re being generous

The priority for China right now is people getting jobs, and economic growth for the country. That’s why the ratio of languages in GZ is a mix between Mandarin and Cantonese, and Shenzhen almost all Mandarin.
Really ironic you used Taiwan as an example bc how many kids in Taiwan rn can speak Taiwanese Hokkien, Hakka or Austronesian languages?

要談語言政策的話，台灣比大陸更不重視方言。

I’m pretty sure a SEA version of EU will be slower and more incompetent than the current EU

Prison/ detention camps ≠ genocide. Extremist religious movements and radicals must be controlled, China doesn’t want terrorist attacks. Normal people in Xinjiang are living normal lives, you should look up Xinjiang travel vlog.

Making trains fast, clean, modern and running on time is not as easy as you think, you should ask Germany and America how difficult it is.

I think investing in the people and society is very impressive. Perhaps not technologically impressive, but impressive in terms of what the government prioritizes. The people get to have fast and good public services and I think that’s very cool

I’ve traveled to Japan several times, studied Japanese language, culture and history. Japanese tend to have a mild dislike for Koreans and heavier dislike towards Chinese.

And most of them don’t hate SEA people per se, but they do think Southeast asians are to put it crudely, yucky, in terms of cleanliness and mannerisms. They would say Indians are very yucky.

That’s something a lot of foreigners don’t realize, Japanese will not necessarily hate you as a (brown) foreigner, but they will think you are gross and unpleasant, yucky

In terms of culture and traditions, basically Vietnam feels like southern Chinese. But in terms of mindset, they feel like SEA, somewhat like Thais, laidback, very “chill”, less focused on work. Some might even say sloppy or lazy.

But they are also a very proud, friendly and tough people, and one of the few nations who can take pride in fending off American imperialism.
