I like, in particular the method of assimilation by the Chinese; for instance they have remained the same culture as far as I know; 94% of the current Chinese population is classified as Han with surnames identical to the ancient surnames.

The same cannot be said for the modern day Greeks or any other country that hosted an ancient civilization. They are not a militaristic culture. Some cultures are more militaristic than others.

However, when the Chinese conquer a territory, that territory becomes Chinese. When the Romans or the Brits conquer a territory, it stays conquered for as long as there is a military garrison nearby.

You can identify militaristic or non-militaristic cultures by their heroes and legends.

I am not sure, and I certainly cannot speak from experience; but I suppose many Americans are salivating in anticipation of high investment return s.

I don't know much about the culture in these countries and
I don't know any Chinese/Japanese people on a personal level;
however on a business/customer level, I find them to be extremely kind, friendly, helpful, and pleasant people.

imho

I think it is good for the world, as a whole, to have a freer market and more freedom for the citizens of China. They have been relatively benign to Hong Kong ever since the transition , but their stance on Tawain is worrisome.


I admire the Japanese, their team comes first attitude is a nice complement to American individualism.
Just in cars alone they have forced American manufaturers to make higher quality products, and forced the European luxury brands to compete in value.

I wonder how much bad blood remains between them over WW2.


Good questions




Grace and Peace

Thank you very much.

China is economically making progress in the international market following in Japans footsteps. Even Korea has started to turn the corner as well. BTW I flew Korean airlines not long ago going to the Philippines where I have a house in southern Mindanao (Davao). I'm Caucasian/Jewish and my beautiful wife is of Filipino-Chinese ancestry. I was in martial arts for years, although with the tire around my waist you would never know it. I found a respect for Filipino and Chinese cultures. I love eating the Filipino food and Chinese buffets. My wife is a good cook. I love all the fruits with exception of durian, which I guess takes an acquired native Filipino taste. Neither my wife or I care much for the Japanese sushi. I'm leery of China and Japan when it comes to politics and their governments. But as a U.S. citizen I think we benefit to trade with China. Japan, of course, has had it electronic technology embedded in American society for decades. I have found that immigrants from any Asian country are productive for the U.S.. By far the majority are very hard workers.
