Just caught up the India/China Twitter spat where Indian twitter calling China also has a caste system (it does not). The weird psychological / logic question one has to ask is - why this group of Indians think it’s an insult to claim China was like them?







Recently, some Indian social media users claimed that they had made a "discovery" that China, like India, supposedly has "a caste system." They shared memes about ancient China's "four occupations" (Shi-Nong-Gong-Shang: scholars, farmers, artisans, merchants) by framing them as equivalent to India's hereditary jati system. Chinese commentators believe the claim reflects the ignorance of some Indian netizens about Chinese historical culture. globaltimes.cn/page/202606/13…
