The First Sino Japanese War - 1894-1895
A war fought between Japan and China, their goals you ask? It was to decide which of the nations would have control over Korea.
In 1885 an agreement was signed by the two which allowed both nations to station troops in the land, the “Li-Ito Convention”, but 9 years later the peoples of Korea revolted. Both Japanese and Chinese troops were sent to “rectify” the situations. The job was done, and their claim on the land was once again cemented but when it was time for the troops to return to their posts, the Japanese refused to withdraw their soldiers from the then Chinese controlled Korea.

I was going to wish all of my Chinese mutuals a happy 中共建党100周年 (100th anniversary of the founding of the CCP) but I cannot get myself to celebrate the Communist Party after the 2019 Hong Kong demonstrations and the lack of responsibility the CCP has taken to the world since the covid-19 pandemic started. It all looked so well in the 2010’s. China was opening up (significantly more), less censorship, less involvement with Hong Kong and Taiwan. But now… after State Secretary Xi Jinping came into power, it’s just gone worse and worse, and I cannot stand seeing my Chinese friends who are younger than me (freshly graduated high school) eat up everything the government serves them. I cannot stand that everyone, Chinese and non-Chinese alike licks CCP’s ass, in fear of going against them, scared of whatever consequences might come. So I will not give the Communist Party of China my well wishes. Instead, my well wishes goes out to the people of Hong Kong, the uighurs oppressed in Xinjiang, the more than one billion oppressed Chinese living under the dictatorship that is China, forced to live under censorship and other ridiculous rules made by the power-horny members of the CCP. Keep fighting for a better life. 中国加油
What is hanfu? Hanfu, literally ‘Han clothes’, is one of the traditional types of Chinese clothing. It served as the characteristic clothing for the Han ethnic group for more than three millennia and was outlawed at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. When the Manchus from the Northeast of Ming established the Qing dynasty in 1636, the authorities banned the clothing attire wore by contemporary Han Chinese as part of series of cultural revisional order.

Hanfu’s Influence in East Asia Hanfu was a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. It also had a far-reaching influence on the clothing in other neighbouring Asian countries, such as the Japanese kimono, the Korean hanbok, and the Vietnamese Áo giao lĩnh. photo by 菊子呀_Kikuko via weibo
