even on random videos you get the vibe that the chinese are just loud people that like to talk. contrast this with the weird funereal vibes that japanese often give off.
i’ve always felt that the shouting thing should make chinese culture more approachable for westerners (maybe i’m just projecting and it’s just my family that was shouty), yet due to imperial shenangians, it’s japanese culture they’re more familiar with.
As a westerner living in Asia, I much prefer a Japanese funeral train over a Chinese one where everyone is playing phone games without headphones
But westerners don’t like Japanese culture. They like icons of Japanese culture. Actually living there and navigating social situations can be very difficult compared to China. Korea too… Neoconfucianism is disgusting to me. Chinese people are way more welcoming, helpful, and easy to be friends with. Just also noisy 😆
I’ve lived in four Chinese cities and everybody is noisy all the time, everywhere. It’s one of the worst things about living in China
