So where the hell is our Chinese dystopian future? Where are the Hollywood blockbusters set in Neo-Beijing? Why does every sci-fi movie still fetishize the same tired Tokyo aesthetic that peaked when Reagan was president?

The answer involves Japanese porn, dying neon signs, and why the Chinese are basically the Jews of Asia.

Israel is in Asia, so I'm pretty sure that makes Jews the Jews of Asia.
Lol, very good.
