The Swastika is one of the most common and auspicious symbols in Dharmic religions like Buddhism and Hinduism. You see the Swastika all over the place in China, Japan, Korea, India, Nepal and other South, East and South-East Asian countries. Particularly in religious contexts, but sometimes just as a positive symbol. The Nazi connotation is on the periphery of the public consciousness, and largely ignored as a foreign corruption of an important cultural and religious symbol.

No, I mean combined with Chiang Kai-shek, whom many consider a fascist, this gives one ideas

Some here might say this city is not a part of China, but the catch here is that it will be in the future. ;)

China Futurism uses the term Chinese in the loosest sense, meaning that it avoids the politics of referring to something as Chinese or not unless it is a central theme in the art itself.

It's culturally Chinese, which is more what this sub is about, so you're fine! Great post - I wonder why the artist included so much Thai script (I assume it's Thai).

Yup, it's definitely Thai. I feel like the idea is that Asia will be a lot more interconnected in the future, and that national populations will be a lot more mixed than they are now. So it wouldn't be surprising if Taipei and other major developed cities become like Singapore or even NYC in terms of the diversity of Asian cultures that you see.

I certainly hope that happens, but I doubt it will with all the nationalist talk being thrown around recently.
