Any possibility of Netanyahu actually died btw?
It seems widely circulated on social media lately.

You can also blame Chen Sanping, who I think lives in the West and associates with Victor Mair, an American professor of linguistics who has long tried to argue/insinuate Chinese civilization came from Indo-Europeans and that Indo-Europeans basically germinated all nomadic peoples (standard neo-Aryanism; Mair is of Germanic descent).
Politically speaking, the axis of "Japan-US-Chinese liberals (including DPP)" have historically despised Chinese nationalism, for obvious reasons - it weakens their ability to divide & conquer China. The Japanese came up with this theory during the 1930s clearly due to Japan's imperial designs on China and because they needed to challenge the traditional historiography of Chinese hegemony in East Asia. The Imperial Japanese were true Mongol-philes in that sense - they thought of themselves as the new Genghis Khan (warrior culture & such) and wanted to coopt the "Altaic legacy" in Asia even though they clearly were neither nomadic nor really related to the nomads.
Post-war, the Japanese stopped trying to go so hard on relating themselves to nomads, but I don't think they ever stopped trying to disassociate themselves with the "Chinese peasants." This is because admitting that China was the historical hegemonic power in East Asia would destroy their geopolitical aspirations, so they are incentivized to align with a narrative of "de-centering China" so that they could create an alternative power structure with them at the top (or at least near the top). Ultimately, the goal is to weaken and if possible Balkhanize China, as it is within such a geopolitical environment that Japan is able to most thrive.
Naturally this aligns with the West's aspirations, as well, and it also plays well into the liberal tendency to fragment & deconstruct everything. So it's a natural born match.
Which brings us to the Chinese expatriates like Chen Sanping. Why they support this, you can pretty much already guess - it's to ingratiate themselves within Western power structures, and also because they are true believers in liberalism, in a way that the Japanese and the Western mainstream are not. I mean just look at Trump and Takaichi. Do you think they're liberals? Why is liberalism losing steam in the West? Unfortunately Chinese liberals still haven't gotten the memo. It's like how Taiwanese may well become the last liberals in East Asia.
It Hilarious because these same fuckers like to praise the KMT aka the Chinese Nationalist party yet despise Chinese nationalism like make your minds already.
I've been reading up lately that one of the biggest lies we have been fed is Japanese are naturally more honourable and Chinese are more likely to lie. Its all a myth thats mainly covered by the fact Japan is rich and can waste money covering their lies better.
There are loads of scammers in China throughout history. But by design it is not in the interest to have corruption, lie about figures etc because the aim is to have a good system and when you do that you are basically setting up a ticking time bomb that will eventually blow up. Even those scammers at the back of the mind know this. Chinese history has loads of bad stuff happening over and over again so even if the stuff is supposed to be cleaned up by Chinese nationalists, its still pretty bad. You have to be really tone deaf to ignore all the painful lessons. In western and Japanese eyes, Mao is some insane dictator who always got his way. Yet he self resigned from his position due to a screw up. Did the honorable Japanese emperor abdicate from his post due to losing the entire Japanese empire? Did Trump or whatever western politicians resign from all the countless screwups they made?
Meanwhile Japan has, their Honorable bushido samurai turned out to be a load of crap, their researchers believe Japan is really a special snowflake against asians yet failed to find out their emperor has some Korean blood, the founder of Japan's last shogunate was a flat out oath breaker etc etc. They were stuck on an island for almost their entire lives and never had to deal with the outside world much. So they are far less mature when it comes to dealing with things. I think one of the Qing emperors said they were not to be trusted and given how Qing elites were very manipulative from dealing with nomads, I guess it takes one to know one.
I don't think Chinese have the most honest people. But I believe as Japan's position declines further and people find out more about them, people will see what they really are. As the Korean movie Parasite said, its easy to act nice when you are rich. When that money goes away, we shall see what you really are.

Lineage is strictly patrileneal in East Asian culture, and the paternal line of Li Shimin can be traced back to the Han dynasty. However, the Li clan was one of the most prominent Han clans of the Xianbei-ruled Northern Wei dynasty (as was the Yang clan that the first Sui emperor belonged to), so men from the Li clan often married noblewoman from the Xianbei clans. To claim Li Shimin to be of Xianbei origin would be equivalent to claiming Ghengis Khan was of Han origin (due to Han Chinese noblewomen and princesses being married to Ghengis Khan's ancestors).

That was a light-hearted joke starting with "What if." I certainly support a rare earth choke but only if the CCP calculates that now is the right time. I don't ever pretend to know more or better than them. Whether it's time now to confront the US with what we have while the have no ammo left or if they feel it's better to do so in 10 years when all our next gen projects designed to overmatch the US come online is up to them.
I thought Trump was the only person in the world to be this shameless...
@Kalum Pupeter What do you think? CCP still need to run every retaliatory plan by you or suffer your horde-of-flies of a mouth?
The Germany who stood out against slavery while the rest of Europe and the US indulged in it is long dead. This Germany would have condemned the slaves for fighting back or running away sometimes.
