in response to “Why the trauma?”, it is because after adopting Tang dynasty technology, some bits of culture, and a failed attempt at a functioning Imperial government system, Japan went its own way. It told itself it was refining and improving on what it adopted from China, making themselves “better” in quality even if obviously they were less numerous and smaller as a country. Their defeat of Kublai Khan’s invasions and then the Meiji era fed this idea of being “superior”, to the point where one Japanese writer of the time argued that Japan was the “central kingdom” now.
China becoming a peer of the US or exceeding it, threatens that self-image, because then China becomes superior in both quality and quantity. Pre-WWII Japan consoled itself with the same myth of quality when comparing themselves to the US. It took the decisive defeat and unconditional surrender of WWII for that to change, and even then it just shifted to Japan thinking it was better than everyone else except the US.
Historically Japan has repeated that cycle of having to be broken down by overwhelming superiority (such as during Tang dynasty) or actual overwhelming military defeat and occupation (WWII) before they would concede that they were not superior to the one that defeated them. But only that one.
It’s more like the cartels are so powerful that they it’s gonna be really hard to get rid of them because they have portions of the Mexican security forces working for them. After all the Marines are the only branch of the Mexican security forces that are cartel free so how can Sheinbaum do anything when no one can trust the security forces.
Neither the increasingly radicalized left wing and right wing Gen Z like them very much. Part of it has to do with Oct 7th, but I think being called dumb goyims in the Epstein files was the final nail in the coffin. You have to realize that deep down even the white libs believe themselves to be superior humans and their whole motivation boils down to a modern version of the whiteman’s burden. Being called a tool/inferior breed of human beings, by the runner of a cannibal pedophile ring no less, probably broke something within them.

Today's Orientalism trope: big cities in China are safe because of surveillance.
The difference between Alysa Liu’s dad and Eileen Gu’s mom:
Like Eileen Gu, the great American Civil Rights activist, singer, communist, Paul Robeson, also sang the Chinese National Anthem. Are you going to curse him like you did to Eileen Gu?
I'm shocked! Shocked!! Someone can be so racist to her own people!!

I will never forget when Trump threatened to ban WeChat and this bimbo suggested that Chinese who rely on WeChat to communicate with their relatives should just go back to bulk buying phone cards from Chinatown. And she was serious about it.I'm shocked! Shocked!! Someone can be so racist to her own people!!
The first line of the Chinese anthem is literally “rise up, people who don’t want to be slaves”. Of course slave masters are gonna take offense.

Only the British think they would be the better choice to control China… yeah like they wouldn’t regularly be molesting Chinese children…? If all the children that were victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s child molesters’ ring were not white, you better believe you would be hearing nothing of it being wrong.
