Comment on Just some random rant~~~ by Pinkalala
Hmm, well tbh, I see Japan, Vietnam, S. Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau all to be siblings of China, because I think all of them make an adorable family of siblings (plus China is sort of the "big brother" of Asia in my opinion), but I see why you wouldn't.
Yep, I did think all of Asians are sibling at first, but when I research a bit about them, no, they're really not. Sometimes I approve them as family, but I still think that the chinese four is the real sibling one. They're shared the same culture, clothes, etc, not to mention the chinese trio are from China. Yeah sure, China is big-brother like type because he indeed raised them, but I think Japan or Korea or Vietnam are slightly different from the other, they're not even chinese, Japanese and Korean are more from Altaic race (which is the same as Mongol), and Vietnamese originally descended from minority ethnic groups in China, not Han Chinese. The Chinese and the Vietnamese are two separate ethnic groups, although they are both Asian. It's the same case as the comparison of the French and the German, who are separate ethnic groups but they're both an European.
Their culture are indeed based from China, but they're also developed it by themselves, they're equal, same as Thailand and India or other Asian countries. Thailand and Vietnam are part of ASEAN country, which is located in Southeast Asia, it's obvious that not all Asians are siblings. In the end, all of Asians doesn't like if they're called as chinese, I see them more like a group/family, but not blood-related family
lol sorry I'm talking too much, but it's my opinion anyway, I don't force you to agree with me~~
