My gfs sister was telling me that a lot of Japanese and Korean makeup brands are just rebranded Chinese products because they wouldn't sell in the west otherwise

They were probably made in the same factory regardless. Most of capitalism is just the same product in different packaging.

Absolutely not, for the sole reason that DPR Korea isn't a real entity in the minds of liberals. It's the boogeyman, the place with no democracy, subzero freedoms, more arrests and executions than births and so on. They can't fathom there being a real, physical thing where DPR Korea is on the map, unless it's desolate wasteland or the DMZ.

What's the context? Do you know?

100 years of anticommunism

I think it’s Black Myth Wukong? New video game made in China that’s getting amazing reviews.

[-] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

The context is that China bad.

Not sure. This is the original Tumblr post, but it's exactly what you see in the OP so that's not terribly helpful. If you recognize the platform the screenshot is from that might help with tracking it down (a simple verbatim Google search turned up nothing).

I have 0 knowledge on this, but the timing makes me guess that new Sun Wukong game

[-] Crikeste@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

I think it’s Black Myth Wukong too. Shit has been doing gangbusters this week.

Does China hate American stuff as much as Americans hate Chinese stuff?

Or is their country still generally on the upswing while the US is in decline so they don't care that much?
