Q1. How could we measure cultural globalization?
I think measuring the cultural globalization is to find 'Media Products'. Culture is abstract. Maybe we will never know exactly to cultural globalization. But also, we can measure to cultural globalization to find 'Media Products'. For example, We know our K-POP is popular in southeast Asia, but we don't know how many people enjoying it. However, We can to find our K-pop albums sales rate, number of music streaming, our drama rating, and so on. Like this results can measure cultural globalization. The more consuming media products in countries, the more advanced cultural globalization.
Q2. How could a fusion culture look in 100 years?
I don't think culture has power in itself. I think the power of culture is the power of the country. In this time, western countries are masters of world. East countries and Africa countries have a history of colonies. When the globalization was begin, the western countries had more power of culture than Eastern countries. Fusion culture was more related to western. But now, the China has a more power than most of western countries. Now we can find China's cultural product like game, movies, and so on. I think 100 years later, the powerful nations of that era will be leading the culture.
Most of the things in this picture are Western things

I don't agree with your opinion that the economically greater countries will take over the cultural domination. If it is so, instead of US, which cultural content or element of China do you think is currently significant enough to influence Koreans these days?
