I'm sorry I was somewhat misinformed on the issue.

But still the SK government taking responsibility doesn't equate to the company taking responsibility.

And China probably did more than SK in this incident, from what I've heard two Chinese relief teams (one from the government and another civilian) already arrived there on July 26th.

Whatever the case, imo this incident was one of the decisive factors that pushed Laos towards China, the other being the construction of the highspeed rail.

But unfortunately I don't think this hard-won friendship will last very long, cause a lot of Chinese have a similar mindset to uisashi and throway2 and they look down on SE Asians.

btw can this western Liaoning guy pass in Thailand at all?

You need to shut the F up and get out of my thread as well, I don't wanna see any Sinocentric trolls in my thread.

This thread is not about Northern Chinese so stop trolling in my thread, I'm serious.

For the student pictures, I agree with you that the bottom one doesn't look like Austroasiatic, but I disagree with you on none of those phenotypes are more Western GD than others. The top two students definitely have more typical phenotypes that fit better in Western GD than the bottom student. The bottom one kind of gives me a Sichuan/Hubei/Chongqing impression and kind of reminds me of the Chongqing soccer player Yang Liyu, and it's quite possible that he is from one of those regions.

These Bahnar women just look SE Asian to me, could maybe pass as Southern East Asian, but still look noticeably different from Northern East Asian. And I don't understand what's wrong with being darker, there are some SE Asian women that have a brownish or olive complexion and I find them quite exotic and beautiful.

Despite you and I don't share the same opinion on most things, I actually welcome you to post in my thread because you actually read what I wrote, unlike the other two (uisashi and throway2) who keep babbling about their own stuff and keep deviating from topic and most of the times don't read what I wrote at all.

From now on I only welcome okarina, utu, and onara to post in my thread, while all the others please stay away from my thread and open your own threads.

Do these Japanese athletes pass in Guangdong? I think Japanese people have rather large eyes on average.

Realized that you aren't welcome to post in this thread and won't come here anymore. So if you want to reply or ask, you can do it in the other thread and quote me. Will reply to your inquiries there if you have.

Not really. Its more complexed and depends on the region of Thailand. For Southern Isaan (where Buakaw is from), yes, his looks are very common. In Central-Eastern and even Southern Thailand, it varies; in many areas with high Austroasiatic blood (from  the Mon and Khmer inhabitants), Buakaw's pheno are very prevalent while in other parts of the three areas, his look are much less common as there are huge Chinese descended (probably from Teochew migrations) communities in certain places along with some people with more Tai-Kradai phenotype, who could be descended from historical forced and voluntary migrations from Laos and possibly from Northern-Central Isaan and Northern Thailand.  Heck in several parts of South, Central and Eastern Thailand, there a lot of locals with conspicuous South Asian/Indian influences in their phenotypes, which would make Buakaw stand out as well.

But yes, Buakaw, should be a great example of the historical Siamese phenotype (Funan, Dvaravati, Lavo and Khmer Empire) prior to the southward migration of the Tais.  

That student probably have Indian admixture as well besides any AASI/Onge/Negrito type ancestry. Actually he seem to be predominantly Mon-Khmer as Buakaw despite the kid seeming to have slightly lighter skin tone.

Yes, Rodtang's phenotype is also very common among Thais. I don't think he looks like a dark Tibetan though. In spite of his eyes, he still look very SE Asian to me.

Deep inside Chinese love SE Asia but they just don't want to admit it, however their action speaks louder than words.

I heard that the all-time best selling coffee in the Chinese coffee chain Luckin Coffee (the Chinese version of Starbucks) is Coconut Latte. And in China coconut production is limited to Far South China (GX, GD, and especially Hainan) and they probably also import some coconuts from SE Asia, whereas all other areas of China are too cold for coconut trees to grow.

And Sipsong Panna in the Far South corner of China is one of the most popular domestic tourist destinations of the country due to its distinctive Tai Lue culture.
