I had a conversation with an American few days ago on X, I asked him why he and many others are so hostile towards China, he said because it is a shithole country and it doesn't deserve whatever it has today. Then I asked him if he has ever been in this country, he said he didn't need to but he had whatever needed to conclude his image of China. So I asked again, what exactly image was that, he said backward, closed and poor. Finally I couldn't helped to ask if he knew anything about the China which before the US even exists, and he said probably just another poor old country with some history. Well..... I wouldn't say some so-called politics elites in the US would say the difference from him, after all garlic now produced in China is another national security threat to the US coming from the mouth of a US congressman.

It won't be a problem for China. This was when China's top official directly told the US to its face: 'US should not delude itself into thinking it can engage with China from a position of strength.' Meanwhile, Washington is developing numerous strategies to deter China, but they haven't considered the consequences of engaging in real conflicts. They will feel the pain when China responds.

Japan, already badly damaged by decades of horrid US actions, from the US 's military occupation of the country to the devastating Plaza Accord, will never learn or have the backbone to push back.

Japan is forbidden from extensive ties with China. Germany is forbidden from extensive ties with Russia. South Korea is forbidden from extensive ties with North Korea. See the game being played?

It's sad to see the end of Japan as just a colony of USA 😢
