I think that it should have read something like:
K-pop is increasing South Korea's power worldwide, although it might not be a fair comparison since SK is not a totalitarian state like China. If people get too friendly with China we will eventually be reminded of China's bad track record with human rights.
Hong Kong, so far.
they seem to be working on that.
Taiwan.
Reading about the drone strikes on civilians does not make me dislike the US. Similarly, reading those links does not really affect how I feel about China.

The hope for the future is that amoral opportunists like this will be a small minority.
Tencent is co-producing the Top Gun sequel, and Maverick's jacket no longer has either the Japanese or Taiwanese flags on the back:

K-pop seems to be helping Korea:

Though they're not a totalitarian state. I think if people get too friendly or sympathetic a couple of articles will bring reality back:
