During the Japanese occupation of Korea, Japan constructed Korea's railways and telephone lines, and it oversaw the beginning stages of Korea's industrialization. So, according to Fowdy's logic, Japan was Korea's savior and wasn't at all attempting to control Korea. https://t.co/arcyQ2zoxB
No attempt at all: outlawed Hangul, outlawed speaking Korean, assassinated nearly the entire royal family, outlawed Koreans holding any real political power, outlawed Korean military, marginalized any Korean who joined the Imperial Japanese military. To follow John’s thought; the only reason the Japanese built railways and telephone lines was to allow the Imperial Japanese military to communicate and transport faster and more efficiently, which is exactly why they are improving infrastructure in Tibet, to allow the Peoples Army to more effectively control Tibet and stamp out any non-Chinese element. No idea who Tom Foudy is but it’s obvious he has no clue about China, communism or 20th Century history of East Asia.

That’s a pretty negative attitude toward the Chinese.
Next, you will be condemning their youth job training programs, the free education they offer Uyghurs, and their commitment to researching healthy bat populations.

Speaking of China, there are signs that it’s not all sugar and dumplings as the students start to taste the new Cultural Revolution.
