Chinese sometimes do " trust own blood " whatever it means,though China has more " sell-outs " compare to nearly zero for Japan.

China for much of it's history,no doubts an expansionist hegemony.

Hmmm ... I don't think Ryukyu Island's ( Okinawa ) Emperor and local population welcomed Kyushu's Satsuma clan with open arms in the early 17th century.

Let's not turn this thread into a flaming war of words on matter of history/political conflicts.

Can we get back on topic .......

I think Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese all still tend to intermarry versus outmarrying with other races. Unless you arecomparing it to the Italians or the Indians, basically there is a lot of pressure not to marry outside your ethnic group.

You meant Koreans,Japanese,and Chinese preferrably like to intermarry one another ?

Seemingly,there is an uptrend in the past 10 years or so on the backdrop of never-ending bickering over WW 2 issues.

There is still some pressure not to marry outside own ethnicity or other races,but it has loosen alot compare to pre-1980.

Gaijinalways ....

The dual pricing is still in practice today inside China,for transportations,vacation tours,some restaurants.It's restrict to places and services cater to non-locals,one fellow mainland forumer comfirmed it to me.

This is obsolutely not racially-motived,rather an adjustment for economic disparity between locals and visiting/resident foreigners including overseas Chinese as well.

So you mean we should charge everyone what the traffic will bear? So Bill Gates should pay the most? And believe me, if you can pass yourself off as a local, you'll get the local price (my friends have done it a few times, just have to dress down).

I'm doubting that people at that level are practing that sort of micro-economics... However, if a foreigner came in and on a few dollars bought up all the product that was for local consumption---- you can see how some form of protectionism is warrented.

A good example of this is when Europe converted its currencies to the Euro. Englanders were for a long time able to visit these respective countries and buy up local merchandise which would have costed them twice the respective ammounts back home--- There are other reasons for a unified currency, but this was one of them.

As much as I don't like the idea of treating foreigners differently, by giving them a different price, I don't like the idea of foreigners being able to subjugate local commodities--- If there are expats, should expats be given carte blanche to dominate a market simply because they happen to be able to buy their way in?

Those immigrants able to live in work in Japan are permited to do so on the condition that they give up their own ethnicity, names, history, in order to become part of the so-called racially homogenous Japanese society. On the one side, Japan makes individuals seeking inclusion into Japanese society deny their own ethnicities & histories, while at the same time, institutionalizing an ideal that foreign residents are not only dangerous but unwelcome, leaving them permanantly excluded or recognized as members of such a society.

Hi, related to the quote how would I be treated if I got a job in Japan, for example if a company there would hire me and I would move over from Sweden. I wouldn't know the language but I would definetly learn it. What would change for me? I wonder a mostly about: Those immigrants able to live in work in Japan are permited to do so on the condition that they give up their own ethnicity, names, history, in order to become part of the so-called racially homogenous Japanese society and how that applies. Are there any good current examples to this?
