Q: is chinese government likely to stop nazi cosplay or do they not care
I have no opinion on this topic to be honest.
I am just curious about if this is the type of thing they just end up banning or if they go well why should we even care, they have banned quite a bit of stuff in china so i thought hey they might ban this like Germany did.
i just want to know legal stuff. so talk about what ever you want but do not flame me or say i am pro Nazi or anti freedom of speech.
i forgot to say that Nazi cosplay is on the rise all over china which is why i asked
Mostly, they really do not care. Though I have not seen it in Beijing yet, I did see some of it in Guilin. My school had an "anime" party a few years ago. And no one got into trouble.As for me, I am not comfortable with people dressing up like Nazis. Too ingrained in my psyche.
Interesting question because, and I swear I'm telling the truth, there's a new part-time Chinese guy at my work who wears German Nazi-era uniforms every day. I mean, every day. And he's got a bunch of them; he wears more variety than most of the employees, who repeat the same outfit three or four times a week. I asked him why once, but my Chinese isn't good enough to understand his reasoning aside from he's weird.
dont really care as Germany didnt attack China Japan on the other hand....
While I think that the government has a million other things to worry about before considering cosplay, I am curious about the Chinese opinions on Nazism.
One of my students claims his favorite historical figure is Hitler, and I can't tell if it's because he thinks WWII is interesting or because he thinks Hitler had some good ideas.
I bet imperial-era Japan outfits would not fly here.
Mr_spoon:
They generally don't know much about WWII, except their fight against Japan. They see the holocaust as a minor inconvenience compared to what happened in Nanjing.
It'd be the same as if you wore a Japanese WWII uniform in the west.
Google the marks of Buddhism, they look almost same
GuilinRaf:
Yes, that is a BIG problem!
One of my students went to the UK and got into trouble with the school for distributing "Nazi symbols".
It wasnt until a professor of Asian Religions spoke up for her that the issue finally died down. Now she is much more carfeul of what gifts she makes.

i thought there were differences,because i saw the directions of rotation are different, but after i read more about it, they actually look the same... the direction of rotation depends on the gender of the buddha, and in china the pronunciation for that is "wan". and there was an article about an indian buddhist trying to sue Hiter ... that's why in some old chinese movies, there is always a "nazi" sign before the movie starts. PS, the symbol of buddha means LUCKY.
kchur:
What about the brown uniforms and narrow mustaches, and hair parted in a way noone has in 60-70 years? Are those also marks of buddhism?
bonita8187:
no, kchur, those are not marks of buddhism, i'm just talking about the symbol(in chinese we call it "wan") they actually look the same. and i find it interesting coz i didn't know that before. I thought it was only a symbol for nazi.
Jíliú.hé:
yes the Nazis got there symbol from India in the first place at one point they even tried to get India to side with them in world war 2.
bonita8187:
kchur, that's how your mama teach you talk to people? I'm so sorry your mother ruined you.
The Republic of China actually enjoyed a very good, and cooperative relationship with Nazi Germany pre-World War 2. Nazi Germany was instrumental in modernizing the ROC forces, helping training officers and offering equipment.
Since the Nazis never attacked China, China won't care. Japan, however, is a totally different story.
kchur:
And how, exactly, does the People's Republic of China feel about the Republic of China from the 1930s onwards?
conworldus:
Between the PRC and the ROC is a love/hate relationship.
what does one big group of racists think about another big group of racists???
they understand each other perfectly
