Aren't Japan and China very similar? They are all societies where the group is valued as more important than the individual.

- a_random_canuck 3y agoI’m not so sure about that. I would say Chinese society values the family… people don’t really give a shit about others outside of family or friends. My feeling on Japan is that they value their society and country much higher. But I’m neither Chinese nor Japanese so take that with a grain of salt.

- latexr 3y agoThe user you’re replying to wasn’t rude or uncompromising. They even posed their statement as a question, suggesting they might not be too sure of what they’re saying but still explaining where the reasoning comes from. Yet instead of taking this rare opportunity to inform and change the mind of someone who appears to be receptive, along with the minds of everyone who may think the same and reads their comment, you chose to insinuate they’re wrong but offered no correction. That adds noise to the discussion but does not advance it in any way. It’s also OK to not make unproductive comments.
