For a more honest and sober take, South Korea still offers stiff competition to China in the short term, especially now that they've got the US (and any country that follows the US) market mostly to themselves. Different from Japan, their industrial competitiveness has not yet fallen off a cliff and they are still fast followers in almost every industry (contrary to Japan that is basically stuck in the early 2000s).

Consider smart phones, TVs, ship building - Korea is still holding onto market share outside of China, and in ship building due to Trump's imposed fees, they've even pulled ahead of China in new orders this month.

It is not a consistent, systemic collapse like most of Japan's industries. And this is also shown in entertainment industries, where Korea continues to be strong competition in things like dramas, movies, video games, etc. In short, their national vitality has not yet been spent and Koreans are harder workers than both Japanese and Europeans. Yes, it's down hill from here, but their collapse will come mainly from demographics in the next 10-20 years, not immediately.
IMO they are stuck in the same sectors the same way Japan is, they just got further before stagnating. They have no presence in software at all, low presence in semiconductor equipment and machine tools and can't even make bought Russian rockets work consistently. At least Japan has its own rockets, machine tools and semiconductor equipment.

The fundamental problem is that like Japan, their standards, upstream industries and markets are all controlled by the west, and this is allowed to happen because they are themselves mentally and politically subservient to the west. They aren't allowed to innovate in new directions that the west hasn't thought of yet because the idea that they can do so would shatter their worldview.

Koreans are hard workers but working hard alone isn't what got China to where it is today, it is working creatively. Deep Seek didn't brute force more GPUs after all.

Nothing to see here. this is the most important meeting of the year for Russia. All qataris arrived without traditional Arab cloths and still displayed enormous soft power. you can observe it the moment door open and the Emir input into Kazan gathering will be taken into account. which is the largest weeklong gathering of Muslim intellectuals from across the world and they also invited the whole of Russia to participate in it. what else purpose of this exercise beside creating right wing society.
once Russia publicly advertize this direction than others like Sultan of Oman will have others in mind. so it is not easy balance to maintain. both Belarus and Ukraine are leftist by this definition.

You can't make this shit up! It's a kindergarten in the White House. Trump literally believes whatever the last person he talking to said. This explains why Elon is always hovering within 10 feet of the POTUS.
Speaking of shit-these other sycophantic court eunuchs have to KNOW each others' bathroom habits so as to time their entry and presentation while your eunuch rival is squatting on the toilet thus ensuring your 5 mins of the Orange God Emperor's limited attention.

Even a Shanghainese Chinese liberal economist cuck is striking back at the conventional supposition that Americans have greater spending power than Chinese people since a lot of their “spending” is on shit like healthcare, lawsuits, housing, etc. Chinese goods is a relatively small share of their spending.

Guess Vice President Vance calling them “peasants” finally got those dick riders to see the light!

It seems that some Koreans dislike China because of their low self-esteem when facing China's culture influence and industrial prowess. Below is the confessions of a previously China-hating Korean.

There is a winner for the humanoid half-Marathon.

Japan is supposed to be one of the most subservient minions of the US, so they were the first in line to negotiate with the Trump regime.
