I agree with some of what you said. However, I don't agree that most Chinese people see Japanese people and British people as crazy. In my opinion, China is so strong because the Chinese mindset is one of the pragmatic in the world. I agree that most Chinese people despise the Empire of Japan and Japanese ultranationalists, but based on what I've seen, most of us don't project those feelings onto contemporary Japanese people. When the Manchu people conquered China in the 1600s, millions of people died. They then imposed their hairstyle on the Chinese people for hundreds of years. Are contemporary Manchu people seen as crazy because of that? No! In fact, one of the most popular symbols of Chinese patriotism today is Wu Jing, a Manchu person. Are Mongolian people distrusted in modern China? Again, the answer is no. Instead of wrongfully encouraging hatred against modern Japan and modern Britain, Chinese society is focusing its energy on the most pragmatic course of action, strengthening its military and ensuring that China cannot be conquered again. In my opinion, such hatred is a huge waste of time and energy. Just look at India. Just go to any forum populated by Indians. Their hatred of Muslim people and Chinese people is immeasurable. It is almost like a part-time job for many of them. In 2023, the Mughal Empire is still a mainstream topic in India. That's absolutely absurd to me! All of the time and energy spent indulging in that hatred is completely wasted and is probably one of the reasons why India's leaders can control their people like puppets.
On the other hand, I have never met a Korean person who hasn't said something bad about Japan in public. Koreans suffered under Japanese occupation, but let's be honest, their suffering was no worse than ours. If anything, our suffering was much worse. I dated a Japanese girl in the past. I didn't care about her ethnicity at all. I only saw her as a cute Asian girl whose company I enjoyed. One day, my Korean friend told me "I can't see myself dating a Japanese girl because I'm Korean. I hate them." Another time, another Korean friend of mine yelled "f**k Japan" during a World Cup match. When I asked him why, he said "I hate Japan because I am a nationalist." To them, hating Japan (and now China), seems to be as natural as breathing, but honestly, I don't think they have many reasons to hate modern Japanese people. It is as if their brains are corrupted by hatred. Like I said, I don't know a single Chinese person who acts like this. That makes me so proud to be Chinese. In my opinion, the pragmatism of the Chinese people is one of the main reasons why China is so strong in 2023.
Ukraine war: Russia moves ahead with deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus

Non paywall source:
They attempted a colour revolution in Belarus as late as 2020-21 in an attempt to wipe the pro Russian government of Lukashenko off the map and repeat an Ukraine 2014. They even have their Belarussian Zelensky nurtured and ready.
I have never seen so much copium:
Another boxing round between Dmitry Polyanskiy (First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN) vs. the extreme Russophobe Michael McFaul (U.S. Ambassador to Russia, 2012-2014)

This less against US trade war than against Micron. Micron was lobbying banning YMTC and etc.
These company are rational and selfish, therefore fighting back can make them think twice. When they realize their aggression cost them more than pay them they will immediately back off.
Against US government there is no winning except total destruction. They rather live poorly themselves just to make you suffer. They are driven by ideology not interest.
I hate the English.
Just look at today, it is still the same in Hong Kong, where they put English ahead of Chinese, and we get the Chinese fighting Chinese on a commercial flight.
They speak English on those Cathay Pacific flights because that is the corporate mandate, that they use English.
The English force the Chinese to speak their language, and that is not normal.
This 1 country 2 systems will not survive this Cathay Pacific debacle. Do not think this is an isolated incident. Foreign companies, like hotels, use to demand their employees speak English only, last time I was there which was a long time ago.
What is needed in Hong Kong is complete purge.
Please stop, this is breaking news thread, NO DISCUSSION!!. Also, PMC has some obvious issues, you shouldn't waste your time arguing with him.
Modern Japan is still fascist Japan, just weaker. They have the same dynasty and government in place.
Modern Britain also still has the same dynasty and government as the Opium Wars Imperial Britain.
The individuals shouldn't be blamed but the governments are absolutely still to blame.
If they undergo a regime change like Russia did, then maybe you can argue that the contemporary countries are different, but they didn't. Japan still regards their defeat in WW2 as not a defeat but a ceasefire + changing sides. They see continuity with Imperial Japan. UK still regards itself as an empire.
I see where you're coming from, but the Empire of Japan and the British Empire are gone for good. They were absorbed into the American empire. The current Japanese government is nothing but an extension of the imperialistic American government. The same could be said about Britain.
well, what exactly did the US do that is illegal and evil? Is this according to the ICC? just curious
