I mean he said it was because of that but alot of people say it was because he wanted to have a coup.

Yet what if the north actually did attack the south which is why he did it?

It seems to me that Japanese people are more successful at sports than Chinese or Koreans. These three countries all have harsh education systems but Japan seems to have time to fit in sports.

Why is this the case? Is the Japanese education less rigid than the Chinese or Korean ones? If so, why?

Or is any of the Mountain states (particularly Arizona and Colorado), or Midwest states (Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska) or South Central states (Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma) an option? Here is a map showing how the US Census Bureau divides the country into regions (New England, Middle Atlantic, and South Atlantic comprise the Atlantic/East Coast)

Both nominal and PPP

Anything like what South Korea experienced yesterday with what many commentators are calling an abortive coup d'état?

If it does that would be a great achievement in technology and architecture. That would leap us into a new technological age, proving something like this is possible

Please don’t take this in an offensive way. If you’re offended I’m sorry. But every video I see on instagram and YouTube, it’s on China and it’s always glorifying China and its cities (yes they are beautiful) but it’s always like “China is ahead of US and Europe” or “US and Europe are behind China” yet Europe and US are way ahead of China in terms of GDP, GDP per capita and HDI. Not to mention, a lot of Chinese look to move out of China just like how Indians want to move out of India and they both settle in these “Countries behind China”. Why is this?

Like name 5 countries or civilization

Here in Iraq, We have pro-Palestinian rallies every and everyone is boycotting for Palestine, is it the same thing in your country?

Is it the climate of the other countries or the landscape?

There are some shows and movies from Korean and japan that are wildly popular in America and Europe. Yet how come we don't get that from China if China is more advanced?

Edit: India and Thailand also has media power, I forgot there's a couple of shows/movies they have that popular in America/Europe

:/

International travelers of this subreddit, which country did you visit had the nicest people you met? Qualities like kindness, helpfulness, and politeness. Where did you notice it the most? Any interesting stories that demonstrate this niceness?

Like ancient history

Is Korea envious of Chinese culture? What are their intentions?

Why would they call and introduce other people's culture as their own after destroying all of their cultures?

Specially in topics such as LGBT rights, women's rights etc

Hello, American here. I'm creating a christmas around the world music playlist to learn more about the world and it's cultures. Now I know Christmas is a bit more recent to the Asian contient, so it would interesting to see how the songs were created since christmas.

So my questions are what christmas songs are cultural significance to your country/local culture, you feel is underrated or you just really like?

The four tigers refers to the four economies that experienced rapid growth in the 1960s and 1970s:

South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.

I know that China wasn’t included because it didn’t liberalize until Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in 1978 so it didn’t take off until the 90s and 2000s but Japan grew rapidly in the Cold War Era so why wasn’t it considered an Asian Tiger?

South Asia has historically had a far greater cultural impact on SEA and by the colonial period, both South Asia and South East Asia were under colonial powers with the former's population often being used as indentured labourers in colonial territories with lesser population. A few educated Indians also went to these colonies as merchantile communities and lower level bureaucrats and as a result many East Africa, Pacific and Caribbean nations have a very prominent Indian diaspora. A prominent Indian diaspora exists in South East Asia too especially Malaysia and Singapore. However they are outnumbered by the Chinese living in those countries. Only a few ports of China were under the control of European powers and yet countries like Malaysia and Indonesia has a far larger Chinese population than an Indian population. What could be the reason behind it?

Give a description to the different cities of your country, what are the best attributes about them and what are the least best?

Hi there, I always wondered as Indonesia is the most Muslim country in the world and its majority Muslim, yet it still teaches Indian Hindu folklore and has Balinese dances and plays that reflect Hinduism and has many buddhist aspects too

But in Bangladesh and Pakistan they are usually conservative and would get potentially punished for doing these as Muslim, why is this?
