No, please don't use a faulty logic to put the horse before the cart and disgrace those passionate FTers who have been actively contributing to
China and
Japan, or any other Asian countries that currently own standalone fora on FT, naming
Thailand,
Singapore,
India,
Hong Kong & Macau.
I am simply using two examples to show people how some of the Asian countries earned their own fora on FT and the traffic/threads/participants proved and keep proving their existence on FT. For example,
FT didn't start with a standalone forum for either China or Japan. That is a fact.
AND using
your provided wiki link,
Japan doesn't even get as many international tourist arrivals as Korea in 2011. However, did you notice how many more threads FTers have started and participated on FT w/r/t Japan? It's not just because Japan has its own forum. Have you ever checked out
how and why our
Japan Forum gets that much more traffic and interesting discussion threads on FT than say Korea?

Really? Sorry I must have missed that.
Since we are talking about FT, not Korea government, would you please provide me with
FT capital how "Korea has a bigger budget now to buy their first house" on FT? Other than you, the OP, how many other FTers have been consistently participating and contributing to Korea discussion threads in
Asia Forum? Is it 3? Or maybe 5? Have I truly underestimated that number?
Show me "the real FT money", and please don't recite the GDP or any other international trade numbers (again).
Who are your Korea discussion crowd in Asia Forum and where have they been on FT? Even with my daily visit to
Asia Forum, I just fail to miss most of them there. Thank you.
