All the Chopstick using people used the Chinese script at one time in their history......The 21st century will see the rise of these nations if they reintegrate and standardise the use of Chinese script once again.
Vietnam has latinized its language and it is more difficult for Viets to return to Chu Nom than Japanese or Koreans. The latinize Viet codification was thought to be ugly, and causes much ambiguity. Is this the reason why they lag behind the others in economic and cultural development?Why are there so many rich China Chinese, but we don't see any rich Viets around?
If Koreans are so mean as some of you have stated, how come they can make the best TV dramas and movies? They were labourers in Singapore not so long ago....... If their culture is so backward, why do the Chinese flock there as tourists? Why are people learning Korean?
And what is happening to the Jap economy? If they could re-integrate economically and culturally with China, they could save themselves....
Why is a Singaporean mamak buying a $600 Korean rice-cooker when he eats with his hands ?? OK, I give up.... its getting too complicated.....
