Sep 12, 2022 at 2:33 comment added Faito Dayo @Shadur making claims like a toddler in tantrum is much better than bombing nations without formal declaration and sanctioning small islands just because it is close to you and has a different political ideology. If US is willing to be nice to Cuba then they could have the high ground in lecturing China on the issue of reunifying Korea.

Sep 12, 2022 at 2:00 comment added dhwang @prosfilaes, "but K-Pop is not anywhere near the most valuable export" Tell that to a gen x or millenial. LoL “China has been striving to increase its soft power over the past decade, not only for international recognition but also to bolster national pride among its people,” Park said. “But the very existence of hallyu detracts from China’s efforts to present itself as a cultural superpower. As Korea’s soft power gains global recognition, including in China, China’s cultural contents become subject to comparison — and they honestly fall short of quality. -- koreajoongangdaily
Aug 5, 2022 at 20:38 comment added prosfilaes @Shadur The Bengal tiger is threatened with extinction from, among other things, poaching. Like the poacher, China has a lot of power and may see that as a solvable problem, especially if China's help is critical to the unification of the peninsula. Fizz is the only one who actually tried answering the question of what China thinks (and China is apparently worried about Korea making claims about historical borders.)
Jul 28, 2022 at 6:46 comment added Shadur-don't-feed-the-AI @prosfilaes "After removing the US from the peninsula" is a bit like "First, kill a Bengal Tiger..." in the hypothetical receipe for Delicious Bengal Tiger Steak -- necessary for the premise to make any sense, but grossly unrealistic and impractical, given that the US has zero incentive to leave and South Korea has even less incentive to ask them to go in favour of relying entirely on the benevolence of a continent-sized country that likes to make claims about "historical borders".
Jul 27, 2022 at 23:25 comment added prosfilaes South Korea's most valuable export is electronic integrated circuits (depending on how you group things, but K-Pop is not anywhere near the most valuable export). South Korea exports and imports more from China than anywhere else, so it has a good working relationship with China and after removing the US from the peninsula, a unified Korea would be little threat to China.
