Culturally, fil-chi are quite close to Taiwan which can translate to potential cooperation.

Officially, the Philippines is more ideologically aligned with Taiwan ie democratic.

Downside of course is in the economic front, or is it? The Philippines imports more than it exports to China.

What would be the implications for the Philippines if it decides to switch? How would it affect other ASEAN members and the bigger international community?

Plot Overview

"Teagan Tao (played by Miku Martineau) is a rising single sculls rowing star whose life is upended by a major family financial scandal."

This is another piece of WMAF slop. The showrunner is, surprise surprise, Vivian Lin. She changed the main character to an Asian woman while keeping the white male love interest. And of course, there is zero Asian male representation. “Diversity,” it seems, is only meant for Asian women and white men.

This show joins the long list of similar projects like To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Joy Luck Club, The Float, and many others where the Asian American writers are exclusionary and racist to Asian men .

As more work from Asian American female creators surfaces, it is becoming increasingly clear that what they mean by “representation” is representation for Asian women and white men only. Sometimes I look at these Asian women and think they actually just want to be white women and enjoy the same privileges. It is the complete opposite of Black feminism. It is the opposite of empowerment.

I also think Asian male showrunners should stop centering Asian women in their work. Too often they become pushovers in front of them. Constance Wu literally dictated which lines to remove on the set of Crazy Rich Asians, and Jamie Chung walked all over John Chu for not casting her, only for him to respond in the most mild, accommodating way possible.

yo i have your average flat straight hair. i'm just wondering what's the best product to use? heard stuff like hanz de fuko, shear revival, blackmask etc. is good, but i'm not sure what to pick.

i want a strong hold but not a lot of shine (dont wanna make it look more greasy).

i don't want to buy any crazy expensive products, but i ultimately am prioritizing quality so if it's really THAT good i'll be willing to fork over a bit more money.

Gemma Chan is one of the Executive producer . It's obvious Asian American female writers have no interest in Asian male rep . They expect other Asian Male Producers to support them but they themselves don't help their fellow asian brothers .

For em Asian rep means Asian Women and White Men only . Tale as old as time

Not entirely sure this fits the direction of this sub, but I’m Asian and this topic is an Asian food item, so here goes. It’s my go to besides broccoli to get some greens in my diet. The trouble is, I either overcook them or undercook them. Either way, I find when I eat them, I’ll have burps of it for half to full day. I only do about 4-5 halved and sautéed with some oil, oyster or hoisin with some rice and a meat protein. I’m not sure if my physiological makeup isn’t playing nice or if others also experience and put up with this. I still have to play around with the cook time to find an happy medium between taste and digestistability though. Maybe reduce the sauces to see if that’s the culprit.

Hey, I’m 30F Arab and have had a few fwb with some southeast Asian men and I have a question about Vietnamese men in general. I was in Vietnam and had a few guys I was seeing to test the waters and see where it goes. To my surprise I noticed theyre very shy in bed or dont know how to pleasure a girl and would finish quite fast. It was very new and odd. They were extremely kind and took me on lovely dates but when it came to the doing the deed, I faced that. I communicated with some that I kept seeing and I was told that they were very excited and nervous. My experience was different with Chinese and Japanese men though, they were really good with what they were doing and we had a lot of fun.

I’m not sure if the men in Vietnam are not in touch with their sexual side or I faced some men who didnt know what they were doing. Thank you for your insight

Hello! I'm a 45 Japanese woman. Looking to make some local, lasting Friendships particularly *Men*. Real friends. I'm positive, serious, quiet home body. Creative, focused, generous.
