    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.

    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?
