Interesting a lot of the videos on the robot marathon posted on YouTube at present are coming from Japan. A lot of the comments are envious that China has accomplished something that should've been a regular event in Japan already admitting China is far ahead of Japan and wonder how come they lost their lead. Yeah it's because Japan listened to the West. There was a post in another thread about how the Philippines is lost because it's waiting to get a waiver from the US in order for them to buy oil from Russia. Really...? Add two and two together... No wonder Trump thinks he has the right to control the Strait of Hormuz like the Panama Canal on the other side of the world. Trump got jealous of what the Iranians did in charging a toll because Trump should've thought of that first. And what did Japan get for it? Essentially they get to think they're more cultured than the Chinese. What the West said to all its colonies that made them different and superior to everyone else if they thought like the West. That's the only thing the West gives to Asian allies to make them feel better for being their bitch. Most of the comments are civil but the Japanese that are coping are laughably bringing up human rights and all the other things they could really care less about of what they think is happening in China.
That's why the Chinese should not get tempted and cocky like a Westerner thinking they're naturally superior to everyone else. The narrative the Chinese should put out in the world is China's rapid rise is because it doesn't listen to the West who wants to hold everyone back. If you have the money, anyone can do what the West can do. China is an example of that. They don't want anyone to know that because they want everyone to believe that the West is naturally superior and then they don't fight against it and will just accept that they will always be a subordinate. Take a look at how Scott Bessent is claiming China is hoarding oil when it should be giving it away to the countries that need it. Look at how selfish China is while the US brags about its energy independence because it has the most proven oil reserves in the world and doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz like everyone else. The US started the war with Iran which is undermining the world economy but it's China's fault because they're hoarding all their oil they bought for themselves... Look at how easily the US blames China for the problems the US created for the world. Don't you think it would be appropriate to blame them for holding the world back...?
