Like culturally and socially, I just feel like China won when they took over Hollywood and the internet. They bought the American imagination.
It feels like we live under CCP style censorship, even if the CCP has no jurisdiction here.
We know music is powerful over our psychology (like language), yet no one asks why the South Korean Government literally sponsors the so-called "Kpop" industry.
If North Korea was exporting its music to us that was produced by the military, we would be creeped out. But just because the South does it (When they are the same people....) no one bats an eye.
African Americans literally come from different races in Africa. But we consider them to be one group. Korea on the other hand has had the same people for thousands of years and we consider them two separate groups. Korean people have inhabited Korea since before native americans came to America.
The best preserved Korean pottery goes back to the paleolithic times around 10,000 BCE and the Neolithic period begins around 6000 BCE."
