I was wondering what people from Asia (South, Southeast, East, West, Central) think about the concept of stoicism and how relevant it is to your culture.

Depending on the number of guests attending a wedding, what qualifies as different sizes of weddings in your country?

What kind of guests can influence the number. If distant extended family members are invited I can see the amount of attendees rising to the hundreds. Do couples in your country tend to have bigger or smaller weddings?

I ask because when I was younger I knew next to nothing about the differences between the east Asian countries and more or less thought of them as homogeneous, but when I got older, I started to notice the differences more between all three countries (I'm combining north and south Korea since they have the same general culture), anyway I'm curious what the people who live in those countries see in terms of cultural similarities.

I hope China remains proud it has 600 million followers of the folk religion and 200 million Buddhists and there should be laws to protect our religion but I am glad religion is not apart of our government.

I was playing a Roblox game a couple of days ago where I was learning that some countries that have traditional governments, either present or in the senate, have a mistrust of airlines due to corruption in airports as well as health and safety risks. I was gonna ask if this form of travel is still common in your country. I heard it's specifically a non-Western thing, but not sure.

I personally think the far right in China is more harmful simply because theres essentially no far left here. The far right here displays itself in being anti China(supports ww2 Japan, wants to break up China into multiple pieces, usually Christians that want to live in the west) while also being pro government too(claiming to be Maoists while being extremely againsts homosexuals,believing in conspiracy theories)these two aren't mainstream but vocal online ,theres also so called liberals but they're fake and fall into the dright winged category, and the new leftists are also not left winged and they destort the old Mao Zedong ideology into some right winged populism. I'm glad theres no political rallies here because these two would be competing on how to destroy China.

Look maybe is the media I watch. But they all look pale as hell. And also bit of the darker side depending on the region. Like light brown? I’m just wondering were this came from

How divided is your country and how bad are election years in your country?

Recently, I have seen many Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese netizens accusing each other of “plagiarism" in terms of clothing, food, even holidays and how their society works. It is almost like the last 1000 years of history has no relevancy to today. Is there a belief that these countries just spawned out of nowhere, or history is taught censored? Or the concept of cultural exchange no longer exists? I ask this as someone of chinese-vietnamese descent, and recently has been receiving discrimination from both sides.

Japan has tons of these. It’s not only about the different food, dialects and tourist attractions but also the demeanour and how people conduct themselves.

For example Okinawa has a stereotype of being laid back about time, Kyoto people are sort of stuck up and passive aggressive, and how no one is actually from Tokyo. It’s even become a meme that Ibaraki is consistently rated the least appealing of all the prefectures and is happy and sad at the same time when they occasionally become second worse. Of course, all of this in good fun.

So I was wondering if other countries have their own versions of these or would that be considered discriminatory in a way?

Today is a holiday commemorating the adoption of the constitution of India and becoming a republican government. After many decades of a country, what is something you admire about Hindustan?

Earlier this week, yet another school shooting occurred, this time in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. (If you can believe it, this time the perpetrator was a Black American boy who listened to so much far-right white supremacist rhetoric that he hated other black people for disappointing him.) When in your life did you learn about the concept of shootings in the United States, and what is your reaction? How rarely do mass shootings and school shootings occur in your country/area?

Shamelessly stolen from r/AskEurope muahahahha

I wanted to get some idea on how Asian countries produce clothing. Where I live (Canada) and similar countries there is an extreme consumerism on polyester and nylon which I can't even use anymore since it causes me sweat, rash, and just a general awful feeling but I heard wool and cotton are expensive.

Alaska, and Yukon are very cold and very beautiful. Norway Sweden Finland and Iceland as well.

There was a mass protest in China over teachers killing a school boy and the school tried to cover it up. This protect turned into a riot and some even broke into the school to find the footage of what happened that day.

When do families come together for a big dinner?

I remember here in the Philippines it was massively popular when it was released, and since then. The movie also made Gong Yoo famous here, with his shows getting dubbed and aired on local TV.

Hi Indobros

I'm Indian and while I think our space program could be better it is still internationally prominent and I really like it.

Indonesian GDP PPP is almost 5 trillion $ while India is 2-3x times. India's GDP PPP was similar to you today and we still had a space program.

So I think Indonesia could definitely afford a better (better) program since we had one since the cold war.

If not an Indonesian then definitely an ASEAN space program should exist like the ESA.

It is a myth perpetuated by racists in the west that a country needs to solve all earthly problems before going to space.

Space technology helps on earth. It allows for weather/disaster forecasting, agricultural monitoring, communication and creating new technologies that have civil applications like.

I would like to see all Asian countries succeed and prosper. Space technology is always one small step for a country and one leap for mankind.

Thanks

Also i dont know Bahasa Indonesia so I'll use Google translate for that. If it is generally other accurate for your Bahasa then let me know, it is like that for some Indian languages.

What kind of perceptions/images do they have? Is it generally positive or negative?

Given that approval rates for China have fallen drastically (5% of Koreans like China while 88% of Koreans hate China), it just seems weird that the amount of Korean tourists coming to China has drastically increased, especially in Shanghai.

Why?
