I ask you this:

1) How often do you hear Koreans talk about a threat from China as compared to Tokdo? Are Koreans more concerned with China or Tokdo?


I hear Koreans mention China and their concerns about it far more than almost any other nation. The only country that comes up more in conversation is the US.


Yeah I hear split opinions. The same you mention and also some youngsters idolising China as a place to make their mark in the future whne they learn Chinese and can do business there.

Seems like the middle kingdom will be the next love hate / fear / respect relationship for Koreans possibly?

Do border guards count. Chinese border guards shot at nepalese troops about two months ago.


a) Still looking for evidence of this

and

b) they need to "exchange" fire. as in a warlike gesture

China isn't going to attack Nepal

but I'll double down if you're up for it:

If China goes to war with Nepal in the next 365 days, I'll stop posting here out of shame for 2 months.

Put yer posting where yer mouth is, Rollo.

Did not say they were going to war with Nepal. but you seem to ignore that China has had battles with every single one of it's neighbor in the last 50 years and continues to build it's military. the P.L.A is part of the government not an agency of the government it also has a seperate budget that has nothing to do with government funding.
