Still China should question Japan's true intensions and at least make a complain to the IAEA. Give them another chance to show their true colours first. So that if China needs to activate the UN Enemy State Clause, it had already exhausted all peaceful options first.
If there is any indication that Japan is building nukes, what does China do then? At some point the CPC will be faced with the prospect of biting the bullet and doing preemptive action.

Why does China need to act so fast that they are literally blind to the consequences. Doing things the American way has always come back to bite. I mean look at Trump and his tariffs, did acting as fast as possible help their situation or did it instead serve to ruin the U.S. economy that much faster. If Japan wants to make nukes, lots of capital and materials are need that Japan right now cannot even begin due to its current levels of debt and the fact that Japan absolutely needs China to survive and given WW2, no one is going to spare them any nukes. It’s like every time China doesn’t act like an American they whine and bitch about things until they are proven wrong, like the whole Iranian war where they assumed like a crazy nut that Iran has fallen because of the initial strikes, end of story. These people completely lack logic, kinda like Pete Hegseth thinking he can double tap and expect everyone to agree with him with no consideration of the consequences therein. If the USA thinks they can do an Iraq and have multiple countries to pile in like then, they have to be joking since they attempts at trying to run away from Ukraine hasn’t done them any favours

Most of are thinking of geopolitics, but I have some other things to add too.

Although we still have 2 weeks left in the year, has anyone noticed that 2025 has gone by without a single mass casualty incident with knives and car rammings, when before sadly these were happening quite a bit in China? Things are still not all hunky dory in the Mainland with the real estate recession, youth unemployment, and stagnant consumer spending. Still, as hard as things are, clearly something has been to done to mitigate the number of crazies and down on their luck people who wish to take their anger out on society.

Perhaps its tighter control measures that the greater public is best not knowing about. But I like to think its that through the hardships, Chinese society is becoming more cohesive and imbued with a greater sense of responsibility towards the greater good. Whether it can be kept up remains to be seen, but hey for now consider it one of the government's more understated achievements of 2025.
Those knife incidents are isolated incidents for sure and are extremely rare. It's not like the US where school shootings are normalized in society due to its frequent nature. It has gone to the point that a school shooting was over shadowed by charlie kirk death. But we shouldn't be to worried because the west is the same situation but even worse and they going downhill due to increasing polarization.

The problem with the US is because they think they're richer in all scales versus everyone else, it also means they they think whatever they do that's more expensive has to be better than whatever everyone else has.

That's why Americans were in denial when it came to the power of drone warfare. They just couldn't handle in their minds that a "toy" drone could destroy their expensive most advanced military hardware that they thought was invincible. The Chinese advantage is they're able to adjust more to changing situations than an American. That's why China was able to change its communist system to work in the Western capitalist world while the US still thinks China is a pure communist system... that's beating theirs. It’s important to the West that China follow the way they do things not because it’s better. It’s because then they would be in control and never allow China to better than them like it’s doing now.

Why is everything so expensive for the US to do? It's because making more money than before is a guiding principle in their economic system. And because of the US's capitalistic principles, they can't divert from it that easily. That's why you see Trump unraveling US institutions to make sure the rich are just handed more money than ever. They can’t feel satisfied with having enough. They always want more. Prices go up and services (like health care) cost more just to keep enriching the few. That’s what the US has been about for hundreds of years and citizens go along just on the dream that they would be a part of the rich elite getting the same privileges.

So do you think they’re capable of competing with a China that can have first world infrastructure in all it’s cities, inexpensive healthcare, a Western world beating technology sector, affordable food, a military that now the US recognizes that will be hard for them to defeat, foreign infrastructure assistance, and subsidizes it all as accused? The US will have to subsidized an American drone industry spending billions just to compete with China’s world leading industry? Yes because it could never survive on its own.

There was a story on CNN where Finland is blaming Russia’s war in Ukraine for why its reindeer business is suffering. How? Because wolves are killing them in higher numbers than ever. How is that Russia’s fault? Because war is driving wolves into Finland? No, it’s because the war is preventing Russians from doing what they would be doing if they weren’t fighting the war. That would be hunting them killing them off reducing the wolf population over there.

This is really impressive if true and they don't even up getting their navy destroyed.

US gun violence level be like, "I'm so lucky I survived the shooting!" "Yeah, the first one's the roughest; the second time you kinda know what to expect." "Awww, you guys are noobs; after 6 times, you can walk right through one with your bullet proof backpack and not even be late to class."

I think China can compromise with United states about dedollarization. China can agree to let dollar remained to be global currency. I don't think internationalisation of yuan is a good things for china since china has to losen control on currency and make currency unstable. I think china goal must be set to persue autarky.
Dedollarization doesn't mean to make the US a non-global currency. That means it's not accepted anywhere except the US. It means to reduce the power of the USD by cutting into its dominance and the dominance of the SWIFT system by providing alternatives so that American sanctions to pressure weaker countries into giving up their interests to feed American interests become less effective. America is a nation with very little internal power compared to China; everything it has comes from forcing others to give and feed it. If America's main way of draining global power into itself, by economic sanctions is crippled, so is America's ability to compete with China.
