    Is south Korea the second largest pop culture exporter

    It doesn't matter if you compare korean music to Chinese music, however it does matter if you are trying to compare korean to Japanese. So far, I haven't seen anyone in Korea to come close to the accomplishment of Yoshiki, he composed the original musical theme for 69th Golden Globel Awards in...

    Is south Korea the second largest pop culture exporter

    By single one singer please, there are far more J-pop songs copied by Chinese singers than Koreans ones. I doubt there is anyone who can matchup with Nakajima in this regard. Taiwanese singer 李翊君 even made one of her album "Rebirth" only composed of Nakajima's songs. And take it from me, I...

    Is south Korea the second largest pop culture exporter

    I found UK TV series more enjoyable than Americans, one theory I have is that since UK's production can not compete its visual effect to those of US big bugdet ones, it put more efforts into its scripts and artistic values. For example Strike Back, the first series of it which is purely UK...

    Is south Korea the second largest pop culture exporter

    In this regard, K-pop's influence can be no where near the accomplishment of J-pop in Asia. Just an example, Nakijima Miyuki, althrough herself might not be very known in China, but her songs gave literately lives to many famous singers in greater China areas.

    Is south Korea the second largest pop culture exporter

    Not to mention the culture impact of Sci-fi TV drama Doctor Who on the genre of Sci fi alone and after 50 years after its broadcast, it is still running today with its 12th Doctor. Does anyone know how many US TV series can trace its root to its UK origins, just out of my head without further...

    China military stresses Party control in face of 'liberal' enemies

    I never say it will stay like this forever but in a forseeable future it definitely will. It is the same hypothesis as whether India will dissolve into many small states, or US will break up. Hey, that did happen in the history.

    According to the consititution of US, the president elect can take oath on a playboy magzine as president if he wants to, yet when was the last time US had a president not puting his hand firmly on a bible when he take the oath during his inauguration ceremony? That is already 226 years since...

    China military stresses Party control in face of 'liberal' enemies

    In this regard, although corruption/nepotism does exist in the military and party, but it might not as bad as many made it out to be especially now Xi is in charge. Unlike North Korea in this matter CPC, and Vietnam as well, no single one holds the absolutely power in the country. The...

    Yes, Xi Jinping is a princeling, but that has nothing to do with why he is the leader of China, he like the other 7 in the Poliburo, started at the very primary level similiar to community councils and slowly climbed the ladder through town, county, city then providence level leadership before...

    China military stresses Party control in face of 'liberal' enemies

    Censorship was only one small issue some people might have some concerns, I myself from time to time found it was unnecessary and some times it was needed. However when it comes to those major issues that really matters in people's life such as how the country is running and how oneself...

    Tianenmen Square Incident

    This is a wrong comparison actually. Taiwan was not a democracy until early 1990's, and Taiwan miracle was led by its authoritarian government under Chiang's family. Same thing with Republic of Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, to some extent Japan as well as Japan was under defacto one party...

    Police killed more than twice as many people as reported by US government

    You should not blame US police for this. Unlike many countries out there, polices in US face far more dangerous stituations in their daily lives. One random traffic inspection sometimes results fatal shooting to the police officers. So sometimes using extreme forces is the only option to keep...

    Tianenmen Square Incident

    Little correction here, you can hardly call what China has right now communism anymore. It is more an authoritarian capitalism state. You are right though that China indeed need a strong government to succeed more than it needs some of the mumbo jumbo others are trying to presuade China to pursue

    While you are at this, why not ask for Ohio class SSBN, Nimitz class CVN and Zumwalt DDG? I am sure US is willing to give them to VN for free.

    Tianenmen Square Incident

    Actually the one on the top of my list is ROC. Well, the thing is that people might like the idea of democracy as they preceive that democracy gives them self control and governance of how country and government should run, but in reality samples from those countries only give people the...
