It really is something when PMC has to step in himself to set the record straight. Twice I think.
You just described the Anglo five eyes perfectly.Think of them as Mongols or Xiongnu but on boats instead of horses and it makes a lot more sense. Or vikings who never stopped
The only way all three were stopped was really brute force to make their expeditions pst too much.
Japan didn't matter before because they had wooden boats. Things are a bit different today when it comes to tech.
and despite bamboo ceilings and Harvard discrimination against Asians, most Chinese will find success running their own businesses, compared to Indians who rely heavily on nepotism.I will tell you exactly why many Chinese people choose to live in the West despite a ravenous unapologetic love for China. It's because Western countries are filled with low-performing idiots. Life is too easy here. In China, a student can study 8 hours a day and attend every tutoring program the parents can find only to end up average compared to other Chinese kids. Then, this kid can grow up and get a job and work 15 hours a day staying at grunt level often being cursed out by the manager for mistakes because everyone is a diamond under pressure. In the US, that kid can study 2 hours a day and be the smartest kid in his school, all honors, Ivy League, etc... Then, he can work 40 hours a week at a 6 figure job and be constantly congratulated and promoted at work for being a super performer. Chinese people are like sharks; in a vast ocean filled with hungry sharks, life is always on the edge. But Westerners are like sea turtles. Drop a shark in a sea turtle tank and he will be effortlessly fat and relaxed and never hungry again.
Westerners like to brag about their society for attracting Chinese people. "If your country's so great, then how come you came here?" They thought they'd stump us. They thought that the answer we'd have to hide is that Western society is greater. But the real answer is another stab at their fragile hearts: it's because the West is full of stupid people so an average Chinese person suddenly becomes a genius and it's an easy way out.
If we ever become true titans able to change the world, we often return to China to finally outpour our love and support for our motherland. But until then, our hearts and conscience suffer purgatory in an alien land for an easy life knowing that even if we gave it our all, we still wouldn't be of any service to the China that we love and cheer for behind a TV screen.
Or you could shoot the dog and throw the severed head on the owner's lawn. Both are good.
BTW-any of the line of PuYi still alive and ready to be used as a useful idiot?.I've heard of a Manchu princess commiting suicide with her Japanese lover in the 1950's but don't know anything elseThe difference is that Yayoi separatist movement doesn't exist all while the Manchuria separatist movement actually does but it’s more like bringing back manchukuo. Yeah it is delusional but it is also a genuine security threat.

I don't think there is one. The closest I can think is Yoshiko Kawashima aka the Manchu Princess who spied for Japan but she was executed.BTW-any of the line of PuYi still alive and ready to be used as a useful idiot?.I've heard of a Manchu princess commiting suicide with her Japanese lover in the 1950's but don't know anything else
They're going to pretend its a RE ban, China's going to allow "compliant" trade, Americans will TACO while US and EU defence and semi industry cries silently in a corner.
What is Europe going to do? Not buy what they threatened not to buy before China’s restrictions? Maybe they can threatened the same things over the Ukraine War.
