south korea, japan, china, taiwan have population decline because of cost of living, cost of raising children, academic and social pressure, lack of free time, lack of simpler entry level jobs for young people, depression and suicide, etc. meanwhile, north korea has population decline because starvation, malnutrition, cost of living, family abuse, depression, unreported covid cases, political repression, etc.

in PR China, the de facto formal mainstream lingua franca is "Standard Chinese" (Mandarin) and the other regional languages are mainstream spoken casual languages, except in Hong Kong and maybe Macau.
In the Philippines, the formal mainstream lingua franca is Philippine English, especially in written matters, while "Filipino" (Tagalog) is the de jure national language, but is the de facto mainstream spoken casual language at least across the capital and native Tagalog lands, while the other regional languages are mainstream spoken casual languages as well, sometimes written.
For the sake of democratic national unity, the Philippines is careful to not fully impose Tagalog on provinces that it is not native to, so English is best as a neutral lingua franca that is clearly foreign and has little danger to replace the de facto mainstream spoken casual languages across the other regions of the Philippines. For PR China, well... it's an authoritarian republic... that has imposed Mandarin over other regional languages, especially those of its own language family, and the mainstream public in mainland china doesn't know the other regional sinitic languages can be written differently than Mandarin, so many think they cannot write them besides speak them. In the Philippines, the latin script can easily write down most if not all languages in the Philippines, whether of the Philippine language family or not.

@Quixina that's the thing. the east asian countries supposedly have such high education systems over much of its population yet when u meet someone from there, u quickly understand that a lot of them live in a bubble and they only generally know some stuff but not other details that were left out from their system that they mustve deemed below them. in east and southeast asia, thats about the only thing taiwan knows about the philippines is that its it's neighbor and perhaps a few poor migrant workers people there have met from ph, otherwise, they dont know much tbh. they're too focused on china, japan, US to know much more about their very next door neighbors lol. also, latin american nations also have limited knowledge about ph besides just about shared spanish colonial era history. do u know our demographics? i know as much compared to mexico, our mestizo pops are historically the opposite makeup. in the philippines, we historically had a lot of chinese mestizos instead of spanish mestizos and even today, there are many chinese filipinos, of which most are of hokkien descent, same as most taiwanese. I can say the same things taiwanese say that Stephen Young mentioned there above. we are ethnic Han Chinese, some of us do know how to speak Chinese (Hokkien and/or Mandarin or even Cantonese), eat Chinese food, raised in the Chinese Filipino culture and Chinese Filipino education system, which mind you, is also regarded as a strict upper achiever kind of education system within the philippines. You call that not Chinese ??? Yes, I can choose to call that "not Chinese" or "Chinese Filipino" and that is the truth of it. we even have a few spanish loanwords in our hokkien chinese like pa-la from Spanish paga, or ka-pé from Spanish café, or go-ma-thng for bubblegum from Spanish goma + the hokkien for candy, or go-ma-ue for rubber shoes. your usual pleb taiwanese, dont know these things and many dont know we exist. chinese mainlanders from china included.

@The_Art_of_AI_888 there's no fooling here. it just sounds like you arent familiar with the realities of overseas chinese communities. thats why we call mainlanders as mainlanders. we may be ethnically han, but most are citizens of their countries born and raised there several generations over. many of whom are only partial to half to majority to pure blood ethnic chinese. and many dont even speak any chinese language at all or only a few bits of it as a fourth or third or second language. only a few have it as a native first language. and im talking about southern chinese languages like hokkien, cantonese, teochew, hakka, hokchew, hinghua, taishanese, not mandarin. mandarin even more back of the line. you can fool yourself and believe whatever you want, but you can never change the truth, the fact, and the reality of who people are, where they were raised, their languages, and their ethnic makeup they were born with. pure ethnic chinese are still a minority within my country's overseas chinese community and that's a fact. as for me, i have never lived in china nor have chinese citizenship, whether PRC or ROC and that is true too of my parents and one of my grandparents, and i am majority if not pure ethnic han, born and raised in my country, as do my peers and their parents and even all their grandparents and some even their great grandparents. some even up to their great great great grandparents and that's not a joke. our national hero himself has such background

@ariapinandita9240 Oh come on... there's so much bs from what you're saying lol. Irrawaddy is even so far away from where champa was. champa was never in yunnan and only right next to cambodia in today's south central vietnam. they did not go to borneo, they came from borneo, just like the many lowland philippine austronesian groups. if some went to borneo later on, it's only a few, just like the few that went to hainan island and many other places. and vietnamese are not originally chinese, they're austroasiatic and only some vietnamese are descendants of chinese migrants that assimilated to vietnamese kinh culture, just like the chinese migrants that assimilated to life in the philippines, malaysia, indonesia, thailand, myanmar, cambodia, laos, timor, etc.

@zilalibayan6030 no, or at least usually not taiwanese (but they do speak or have the same heritage language, i.e. hokkien). i live in the philippines and most of those "Chinese" investors/business people in the philippines are actually Filipinos as well, just that they are ethnically Chinese... which is why they are respected because those are actually Filipinos as well that start up companies, climb ph corporate ladders and lead their own filipino companies and provide other filipinos with jobs. just look for the list of top billionaires in the philippines. the richest filipinos are mostly of ethnic chinese descent, with a few old blood elite spanish descent. these chinese did not come from today's communist-founded china (PRC), but from the china before that (ROC or Qing or even Ming). english is ambiguous on the word "chinese". it includes both ethnicity and nationality definitions. many of the ethnic chinese filipinos in the philippines have no loyalty to today's communist-founded china. a lot of them have lived for generations in the philippines with little to no ties to the current political entity in china. some have never even set foot in china. and then, of course, there are the few expat ethnic chinese singaporeans, malaysians, indonesians, thai, taiwanese, and mainland chinese...
