I predict that Chinese wuxia will eventually be claimed as part of “Korean culture” too. Sooner or later, we will probably see a flood of Korean wuxia films, dramas, and comics. And when people question it, the answer will be the same familiar script: Chinese culture will suddenly be rebranded as “shared Asian culture,” and wuxia will be reframed as something Korea has supposedly had since ancient times. It is always the same pattern: borrow first, relabel it later, and then act offended when someone points out the obvious.
