I grew up as a weeb, but I prefer Chinese culture to Japanese culture overall. Their mythology is richer; their philosophy more well-developed and I prefer their aesthetic richness. Chinese culture, especially in the traditional sense, reminds me of medieval European culture with its ornateness and artistry. The Chinese language is buggish, but I prefer that over the more feminine-sounding Japanese language and I think its alphabet or whatever the fuck it is is cooler looking, too. Japan has had a massive head-start on pop culture, but China has been catching up with their own exports, especially in gaming like Genshin Impact, Naraka: Bladepoint and Honor of Kings. I can't speak to the first, but I'm a personal fan of the latter two. As to animation and comics, China has a bit of representation with manhua, but it is repressed by the CCP and limited by Taiwan's smaller population. When you look at China, they're paradoxically more chinky than the Japanese, but also more Western in some ways; China is much faster to change things when the circumstances dictate and they're not as indirect and bound to senseless formalities like the Japanese. I like Japanese culture, but I think Chinese culture is underrated and more relatable as a Westerner.
