When you follow what Asian women do in Asia, you understand clearly that the image of submissive compliant Asian women is merely a patriarchal fantasy. When that fantasy is indulged by the west, it is also an orientalist, imperialist, and racist patriarchal fantasy.

Crisis averted in South Korea, yes. But it was close.
And it's clear that it isn't just Yoon who must be held to account. So must the military.

Citizens and lawmakers aligned against a power-hungry and incompetent president.
South Korean citizens helped lawmakers scale the National Assembly walls so they could bypass military barricades and vote against martial law.

Laugh at politicians, sure.
Publicity stunt, sure.
But he scaled a wall to avoid soldiers so he could vote against martial law.
That takes guts.

None of the US media is interested in showing how deeply Biden and Blinken have supported Yoon. This is a big part of the story that I will be telling in my coverage. Stay tuned!
Very important to remember: Biden and Blinken are Yoon's biggest supporters because he has become their pawn in their militaristic trilateral alliance with Japan. Blinken has suggested that Yoon get the Nobel Peace Prize. Washington is deeply in bed with this fascist, just as in South Korea's past.
