Its name is 南满洲铁道株式会社 the South Manchuria Railway Company. And it operates in Manchuria, not in Japan. Your argument is like America doesn’t exist because everything is British.

You said “China has good railroads because of Manchuria.” I say that Manchuria has good railroads because of Japan. You often argue that China is not Manchuria and I am arguing that Manchuria is not japan. You cannot attack my argument without also attacking your own.

You don’t know how deep the integration was. Those who were born in America and grew up in America are Americans, right? 1.6 million Japanese were expelled from their own country Manchuria upon 1945, many of whom were Manchurian borns. Plus Mongoloids blend in well with each

Each other. A person born to Japanese parents in Manchuria was technically a Manchurian. Just like a person born to Irish parents in America is an American. Seiji Ozawa is as a Manchurian as Lang Lang is, since both are Mukden borns. And we didn’t have a race problem as you do.pic.twitter.com/DCUB0Q1Bzw

I've been to Manchuria and Japan. They seem quite different to me, but I don't speak Japanese and my Chinese sucks so what do I know.

If Manchuria is a "country" (as it's not de jure recognized as one) like America is, sure, all the Japanese born in Manchuria in the past 100 years (and I know there were many, I have met some) are Manchurian.

Because you are a laowai, you don’t understand us. The differences you see are superficial. The Japanese archipelago are islands right? They must have come from somewhere else. Now look at a map. Plus the Japanese language is very closely related to the Altaic Manchu

Linguistically, as is the Korean language. Korea was poor as fuck, but now it has grown into something close to Japan. Manchuria was richer than Japan itself before 1945. The differences you see were caused by communism and Chinese occupation. Otherwise we should haven been

More resources, but is that anything to be proud of? Saudi Arabia is a rich country by that metric. I think of things in a typical laowai way. I don't even view myself as white. I think of myself as me. It's individualistic vs. collectivist thinking.

I like Dongbei. In a way I love it. I miss it a lot. It's a got a warmth to it that Japan does not have. But as far as I can tell, it's quite different from Japan. In some ways Dongbei feels more like parts of America than Japan.

I personally admit that Japan and Manchuria are sufficiently different. Japan lacks the fusion of multi-civilizations. As a Manchurian, I feel easily the chemistry among Mongol-Korean-Han-Russian cultures even within on city, say Harbin. But in Tokyo, I got easily bored by the

Monotonic Japanese culture and cheap copies from the west.
