North Koreans (Koreans are alleged to be the lightest asians)
They look dark to me, not pale. Ofc there are very light koreans too, so idk really. I remember Seya posted a pic where she was standing next to a Thai girl and the the Thai girl wasn't darker than Seya.
I haven't figured out mongoloid pigmentation yet.
Mongoloids may have an originally light skin that tans very well when exposted to sunlight

Actualy i wouldnt want to learn mandarin per say. Another chinese language. I heard its looked upon better if you learned a real local dialect of chinese than just the national language. Ive tried cantonese before briefly but i didnt continue with it. But chinese is more interesting to me before I even knew about chinese politics , even before being active on forums ect.
I cant say for everyone though. In the US maybe not but around the world maybe. Aa china is starting to be diplomaric around the world, even reaching many parts of latin america.
China if it keeps up the pace will be extremely important. Its influences in the rest of asia will be much more dramatic first.
Right now its almost at the level its trying to be.

This guy says China is a bubble about to burst and that India has more chances to take over as the world's next superpower.
I could summarise, but I watched this video a while ago and I have no time for it atm.
Is he right? I don't know. It's highly speculative. He does provide arguments though.

Just another Westerner who hasn't been to China, doesn't speak Chinese, have a very superficial understanding of Chinese culture and history, predicting China will collapse and India (which they always think is interchangeable) will surpass it. They've been saying this for 20 years. China is a very deep civilization, you won't be able to understand its society and trajectory unless you've been immersed in its culture, otherwise, you're just another armchair commentator whose opinions really don't mean shit.
Nope. China will continue to grow. It's only at 30% of it's potential right now. Yes, it might have a financial or political crisis or two, just like the US went through a Civil War, a Great Depression, but still managed to become the world's predominant power.
China is also not India. China is WOKE as fuck. India is not. China is far more united and its population is far more mobilized. India hangs on to many backward traditions and is divided between too many different ethnic groups, sects, religions, etc. India will grow to become a major economy, market, but it won't be able to mobilize resources and modernize the way China has and will continue to do so.
But the comparisons are really pointless. China and India, besides their population, are two totally different countries. The reality is that China is nowhere near its real potential yet.
