The rest of the article is trash but these are the only facts from it
@voyager1 the die has been cast long time ago, Japan will rather commit HARA KIRI than accept Chinese supremacy. They can't accept a fellow Asian is superior than them. It's ashamed having the same Confucius value and all but that is the reality.

Why the 25-Year China-Iran Strategic Cooperation Agreement isn’t a “big deal,” literally or figuratively.

In indirect talks in Vienna, the U.S. and Iran agreed to try to synchronize Washington’s lifting of sanctions and Iran’s limiting of uranium enrichment.

The Diplomat is quickly going for a trash paper status. I would suggest to fire this "expert" which writes such trash analysis on their website.

The world has already seen the facts, if you are under sanctions or pressure from the US, play the China card and get free leverage. Delusional "experts" are everywhere in the US it seems

@4Runner why would they do that? after being save from a crushing sanction and given a big boost on international front. And China had a good relationship with the gulf state, two can play the game if China wanted to?
Old habits die hard. In terms of trustworthy in partnership, I would rank UAE and SA above Iran. Iranian national psych is somewhat still stuck in Shah era. For many around world, the fact that today China is a global superpower is too difficult to take in.

The Japanese lost their Confucian values when they manipulated them for their militaristic policies in the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition, in modern day Japan, Japanese scholars view Confucianism as a relic of the past rather than a philosophy. So in short the Japan we know today isnt Confucian at all and therefore should not be trusted.

"With the defeat of Japan in 1945, Confucian notions came to be regarded negatively because of their unfortunate appropriation by Inoue and other philosopher-ideologues. They had manipulated the core ethics of Confucian philosophy into a teaching of loyalty to the imperial state and self-sacrifice for the sake of its glory. Those Confucian philosophers whose writings had been most enthusiastic about Japan, and so easily appropriated — as was the case with Yamaga Sokō who had argued at one point in his multifaceted philosophical corpus, that Japan, not China, was the true Central Kingdom — have consequently suffered from significant neglect in the postwar period. By contrast, those earlier Confucians whose writings had disparaged Japan and celebrated China, such as those of Ogyū Sorai, rebounded from their former pariah status in jingoistic Japan to becoming the focus of repeated postwar studies. Usually, however, because of the overall feeling that Confucianism of any sort was more ideology than philosophy (and this was surely the most egregious legacy of its prewar appropriation) Confucianism has most frequently been interpreted simply as “thought” (shisō) or “ideology” (ideorogii), typically of a “feudalistic” sort. In other countries, including contemporary China, interpreters are reexamining Confucianism as a living philosophy of ongoing significance, but Japanese scholars have more viewed it as a historical artifact, not a vital philosophy. Instead, philosophy departments in most major Japanese universities today continue to define “philosophy” as western philosophy, finding relatively little place for the study of Confucianism under its rubric."
