I also live in Japan. I disagree with your take. I think the Chinese influence on Japan has been massive and enduring. I am not Chinese.

Being long term residents of Japan doesn’t make either of us experts on this matter. We’re just two people who have interpreted our experiences differently. I understand you feel strongly about this (I also often find myself jumping to correct what I consider to be misconceptions about Japan, so I kind of get it) but I think you’re overstating your opinion in this thread right now.

I also studied Asian history in Asia. I am aware that a lot of Americans who study Asian history study it from an Sinocentric viewpoint, but overlook how the rest of Asia actually developed.

I strongly disagree about Chinese influence on Japan. I agree about the Chinese influence on Korea and Vietnam, but to call it the "Greece of Asia" is laughable at best.
