I don't know if this is accurately depicted but generally ideological, in this case religious, people aren't going to assimilate well in societies that aren't their own. Also didn't Japan letting Indians into their country happen recently? If this is real then I can understand why get so much hate being in someone else country. But then they're the ones that brag about being being a democracy...

Jane Goodall just died and of course all the accolades from the West. But she was a typical Western leftist supremacist who believed Westerners only bring good to savage parts of the world. When China was making a presence in Africa, Jane Goodall complained. She was one of those return to Eden fantasy Westerners. She was okay with Westerners in Africa but not okay for Chinese. Westerners have that utopia fantasy to keep Africa primitive and the only oasis of civility in the desert were Westerners. That's how Westerners dream for the world as their playground.

At least Shinzo Abe was your usual politician with their political forked tongue. I don’t see that with Sanae Takaichi. She is clearly pushing for conflict with China in some form. Most likely going to set the stage to drag Japan into joining the US war against China.

Diplomatic relations with China get under her skin and threats to send Japanese troops to Taiwan. She seems more like those European chihuahuas than a career politician like Shinzo Abe.

But how long can she last? 6 months? Japan is becoming almost irrelevant compared to China's rise. Talking about China's rise, below is Justin Yifu Lin's take. Lin was the former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank. The article addresses the following 3 questions:
  1. Why has China’s economy been able to sustain long-term rapid growth since the launch of reform and opening up, particularly from 1995 onward?
  2. Why, in spite of this record, do pessimistic views of China’s prospects persist both at home and abroad?
  3. With new headwinds such as population ageing and frictions with the United States, what lies ahead for China’s development?

The main problem is that your understanding of the world is so idiosyncratic.
India frequently visits the White House to lick the US president's boots, and flatters Israel with all sorts of flattery. It particularly blocked the BRICS's condemnation of Israel during the Israeli bombing of Iran, and boasts of its status as a G7 observer country. And so on and so forth. And these are just diplomatic actions.
You could also ask India's neighboring countries what they think of their neighbor.
Honestly, your understanding is so out of touch with reality that I don't know how to explain to you the profound impact your remarks have had on my worldview.

It‘s in India‘s best interest to keep a low profile at least with the current dominant power in the world while they develop their own country. It‘s the smart strategy to play here. When there was tariffs imposed on India, many here predicted that India would react emotionally and would openly challenge the US which didn‘t happen. This is one of the examples where Chinese or East Asians in general don‘t have much of a clue how societies/cultures outside of East Asia work.

India nowadays is not interested in playing geopolitics that much. They subscribe to Deng Xiaoping‘s policy of keeping a low profile and never taking the lead. Outside of some conflicts with Pakistan, it does not even throw its weight in South Asia. This has however not always been the case. During Cold War, India was acting as the leader in non aigned movement, they started a massive conflict with Pakistan and split it in half, conquered Goa from the Portugese, intervened in Sti Lankan civil war etc. it‘s not like India can‘t get a thing or two done if it chooses to act irrationally but these days they are doing the right thing by focusing on economic development.

Excuse me, I'm just curious, "Did you live on Cybertron before?"

Do you think this year's war between India and Pakistan was an act focused on economic development?
A country with one of the lowest per capita GDPs and one of the lowest hunger rates, spending tens of billions of dollars on foreign military equipment without facing any apparent threat of external invasion, do you still think it's focused on economic development?
One day they say they want to wipe Pakistan off the face of the earth, and the next day they're stationing troops in Sri Lanka. What a model of peace!

If what India is doing is considered “keeping a low profile” then I’m the fattest person in all of North America.

the irony is not lost upon me that all these other global south comments saying like "im so glad chinas going to take the lead, they'll never bully us like the united states" have simply never heard the chinese talking candidly amongst themselves.

There are nationalists everywhere. The difference is that in China, the CPC reins them in. Whereas in the West those nationalists are effectively encouraged by their government to pillage and plunder.
