I don't know why this made me laugh so hard lmfao
I can relate to this movement
I like beer
Tsingtao is hands down the worst beer I’ve ever had
I used to think they were just skunky like that until I tried one from the actual brewery and realized it was their shitty green bottles that kept letting in the UV from the sun that turned them that way. Its not as bad in the cans or brown bottles.
want a mid beer that also tastes kinda like grass? we got you covered.
Obviously you've never drank steel reserve
It's good when you're eating spicy as fuck hot pot
or any other kind of spicy soupy food; even ramen and menudo.
来一瓶雪花吧
I'm more of a Wusu person, but wouldn't mind a Tsingtao
I've been trying for almost a year to get some Tsingtao, none of the stores sell it around here, and the ones that do are always "out of stock."
I originally just wanted to get it because I like trying foreign beers with a buddy of mine, it was just "next on the list", but it has become my white whale, I will find that beer and I will drink it, I don't even care if it tastes good anymore, it has eluded me for too long and I simply cannot allow that to continue.
Not me, thanks, I prefer black tea
Weeabooism with Chinese characteristics 
sinobooism
威汉布? 伪华乌?
It makes total sense that people are interested in Chinese culture when China is the main force driving technological and economic development.
I remember about 5 years ago lib rags were publishing articles about how China could never compete with the soft power of Japan and South Korea because their cultural exports would never be seen as cool. Those same writers are probably Chinamaxxing now as we speak.
Everyone participating in that trend need to read a copy of orientalism
Most Chinese people I've seen reacting to it have been positive.
China, for over two thousand years, has acted sort of like a cultural SCP, absorbing more and more of the globe because people recognize Being Chinese as a set of culutral norms is actually really good. This is just furthering that trend. Chinese isn't a race, it's a way of life. The book Chinese Cosmopolitanism by Shuchen Xiang covers this process well.
China has always absorbed other people into our culture, sometimes not even on purpose. Even conquerors get absorbed. The heirs of Genghis Khan, the Scourge of Heaven, assimilated into Chinese culture within a couple generations. Xianbei, Khitan, Manchu, etc. The Khitans, despite warring against China on and off for over a hundred years, immediately declared itself the Liao dynasty, adopted the Chinese legal system, folk religion and invented a very Chinese inspired writing system (which to me looks like an AI hallucination of Hanzi) as soon as they secured a kingdom.
There was a period of time after the fall of the Ming when the Korean Chosun dynasty referred to itself as "소중화" (lit. Little China) because they considered themselves to be more Chinese than the Manchu. There was a Korean Emperor who was Chinamaxxing in the 1600's.
Implying that book wont just be ussed as an instruction manuel.
True. Then they need to be beaten over the head with it.
I've been meaning to read that, especially since I've been trying to read more Palestinian authors. But IMO this isn't like the British public being fascinated at their colonial possessions in the Indian subcontinent. This is more like if admiration of the USSR was more prevalent in the 1950s. Like an "I'm becoming soviet" trend in letters to the editor, or whatever the 1950s equivalent of tiktok is. Maybe I'll see it differently after reading the book
There were absolutely Western commies who had that attitude to the USSR all throughout the Cold War. Still some today.

Wait I thought this wiki was created cuz of this site, thedeprogram sub, and genzedong
I knew a guy who was doing this in the early 2000s. I knew another apolitical non-commie who was interested in learning Chinese because he thought it would improve his long term employment prospects. Why? China's trajectory was known at the time! And the US's trajectory was also known! It was a lot harder for a believer to produce hard evidence, and probably a much much intellectually risky thing to believe back then. But it's now 20 years later, that's 20 years more trajectory everybody can see, plus a massive internet pipeline spewing hard evidence everywhere.
In the US, you can't look anywhere outside without seeing widespread decay and greed. You can't look outside of the US without seeing high speed rail everywhere.
I guess you could say, a tankie is anyone who showed up too early to the party.
When the time is right, I will look in the mirror and already be Chinese.
whoa, this was definitely an era... what the fuck was wrong with these people.
