Can anyone explain modern day Asia? How come China has such a

Great Cultural Revolution created a generation of callous, unprincipled people

>How come China has such a backwards population and the other countries in the Sinosphere have well-behaved peoples?
They don't.

Vietnam and North Korea are China tier. South Korea is a neo-liberal dystopia and Japan is simply unique.

The 20th century version of Bernie Sanders happened.

Cultural revolution. Destruction of old cultural ethical norms and standardization of maoist violent struggle ethics.

China has an unusual environment.

It is a despotic single party state yet an open society.

Coastal China inhabits a similar economic environment to the asian tigers, but development was postponed by Mao's shenanigans and now the flood gates have been opened.

It is rapidly developing so you have people who were africa-tier rural peasants 10 years ago who can now afford a cheap flight to anywhere in the world. Defecating in the open would be a problem there too if China didn't have a fetish for massive construction projects resulting in some sanitation to trickling down to the poor.

It is humanity's most ancient contiguous culture yet one that was transformed into something atheistic, dry and soulless by you know whao.

China is a deeply fatalistic society. They expect current rulers to eventually lose heaven's mandate and a massive apocalyptic civil war to disrupt the delicate rice paddies resulting in half the population starving to death and the new ruler being an insane totalitarian tyrant, they romanticize it.

Because you're angry at China 's ascendancy.

>>2414954
A civilisation that eats dogs cannot be expected to produce anything good and pure

>>2414954
Because literally everyone over 30 in China either lived through a time period of civil war/starvation/japs/starvation/mao/starvation and/or absolute shit-tier living standards.

Southeast Asia is brimming with poor illiterate farmers as well. Go to Cambodia and tell me how well-mannered the starving street child is.

>>2414993
Explain why places where there was no Cultural Revolution in rural Sichuan are still poor and ill-mannered.
This fucking meme that the CR is the explanation for everything in China needs to stop.

Hong Kong is 95% descended within a few generations from mainlanders.

Money changes everything.

Nigga you dumb as fuck.

Nah Vietnam is actually much more civilised

>North Korea
another commie shithole

idk why people hate on China's brash culture, personally I like it

then again I'm from NYC so maybe its just what I'm used to, ignore the niceties and ask what can you do for me

>>2415742

So New Yorkers also eat cats, make hot dogs with recycled sewage waste and literally throw themselves into traffic for "lotta monayy"?

China is the America of Asia.

>>2415314
Socialist detected, kill yourself.

It's quite simple; countries that opened up their markets are good, countries that closed them off are bad.

>>2415754
>eat cats

Wouldn't be surprised in Jew York honestly

>Make hot dogs with recycled sewage

Do you realize what hot dogs are actually made of? I'd rather recycled sewage desu.

>literally throw themselves into traffic for "lotta monayy"?

Sounds like a typical day in Brooklyn.

Jesus Christ no!

Too many setbacks happened every time they were about to get on track for modernization.

>Taiping Rebellion

>Empress Dowager Cixi
>The Second Sino-Japanese War
>The warlords
>Mao Zedong
>The Great Leap Forward
>The Cultural Revolution
They didn't manage to really start getting into the game until Deng Xiaoping.

>>2414954
Because there are hundreds of millions of Chinese who are only one generation removed or less from living in poverty in wooden huts, you get ill-mannered noveau riche in any society.

>>2417453
Though to be fair many old money folk aren't that better either.

>>2414954
China was always a shitty place to be, CR or no CR

>>2414959 is being a faggot though

>>2417773
No faggot, China was always a great place to be (in) without communism, you should go fucking die Mao Xiu Lee you fucking communist shill, you'll be purged yourself soon, my 80 iq oriental friend

>>2417791
roleplaying should be a bannable offense desu.

>>2417801
being a massive fucking faggot should be a permabannable OFFENCE (not offense you dumb cunt) you massive fucking faggot

>>2414954
You could say the same about America if you cherry picked the right places.

All of Asia was shit before Europeans entered into their sphere.

Then hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong became rich and powerful due to European trade.

Today the 1.3 BILLION Chinese select the richest and most powerful and send them to places like HK and Singapore where they can operate freely in such rich trading hubs.

Then these rich Asians send their children overseas to places like Canada, Australia and New Zealand for hostile takeovers, buying up land and businesses while using other poor Asians as basically slaves in the places they own.

Before the Industrial Revolution happened, China was easily as good as any major Western power.

>>2418144
They used human drawn carriages. Probably still do in some places.

Used to be extremely common in Paris/Moscow until the 1880's. That isn't something unique to Asia.
Kill yourself shitposter

>Vietnam's not a communist shithole

Wew /his/

1. Vietnam is LITERALLY communist.
2. Vietnam's GDP per capita is $1,900. That's inbetween Pakistan and Nigeria.

>>2418305
It's $2300, although it's not like it much better or anything lol.

t. Viet

>>2418585
In my experience, Vietnamese girls studying in the west are some of the most materialistic shots that have ever graced this planet. Probably some attempt.to set themselves desperately apart from their peers back in Vietnam

>>2418627
*Shits

>>2418627
Well, i live in Vietnam, and i've never go abroad, so i don't really know, but you're probably right.
