Japanese woman PM slaps China again and again and again

 Japan added 110 Chinese semicon firms into its blacklist. And what did China do? As expected, and as usual, nothing. China stood there like a giant scarecrow, shivering. All China dares to say, but not do, is to threaten to cut off rare earth supply. Did the Japanese woman bother about what China would do, think about what China would react before throwing this punch? Nay. She, like all anti China Japanese leaders, see China no up. They have no respect for a weak China. They know China would not do anything, afraid to do anything, and Japan would get away with it. The most the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman would say is please return to the correct path. How lame can China be?

Oops, this time a Chinese Consul General, Xue Jian, stationed in Osaka, threatened to cut this Japanese woman's neck for putting her butt into Taiwan, saying that Japan would send Japanese troops to defend Taiwan, that Taiwan is ally of Japan. The Japanese distorted the original text of Xue as wanting to chop off the head of this Japanese woman. Xue was referring to the hostile thinking of the Japanese woman and that such thinking should be cut off, not her head. This woman has crossed China's red line and the Consul's remark was to warn the Japanese woman not to go too far.

Within weeks of being in office, this Japanese woman attacked China three times, raising concerns about fake minority issues in Xinjiang while in an official meeting with Xi. Xi was offended but did not tell her off in her face, thinking that she was new and would be more cautious going forward.

Three times in a row, one after another, are no mistakes. It is the Japanese woman's long held hostility against China in full display. China has for years been hoping against hope that maybe the Japanese would be nice, come around, turn a new leaf from their barbaric past, and China can really have good relations with Japan. Setbacks after setbacks, big dummy never learn. And deservedly be slapped by this Japanese woman again and again and again.

China is prepared to completely decouple from the American economy. Why not do the same to the evil Japanese, the barbaric people that had caused the most harm to China and massacred the most Chinese people, and refused to apologise, refused to change, still behaving arrogantly that they are superior to the Chinese, meddling in China's domestic affairs in Xinjiang and Taiwan and the South China Sea?

The Americans and the Japanese are no different in their attitudes towards China. Both want China to collapse, both harbour the intent to invade China. China must stop deluding itself just because there are a few decent Americans and Japanese whispering sweet nothing in the ears of Chinese leaders. The leopard will not change its spots. China must kill its stupid dream of having good relations with the Americans and the Japanese. Being made a fool of once, twice, thrice and more, ...still not enough? Want to be made a fool of by the Americans and the Japanese forever?

Is China a paper tiger, being kicked and slapped by a woman, by many little Mickey Mouse and still call itself a superpower, a leader of the Global South? When China was poor and weak, it was fair to behave like a sick cat. But China is no longer a sick cat. Why is it still behaving like a sick cat? This Japanese woman, two days in office, already stood up to show China that she has no respect for China. And China just proved that she is right.

Who is more dependent on who, China or Japan? What would happen if China just cut off all trade and economic relations with Japan? Is China's economy and high tech industries still dependent on Japan and needs to be nice to Japan? Or would China suffer some initial pullbacks in its trade, but Japanese economy would collapse immediately?

The Japanese economy is highly vulnerable to a trade war, especially with China. Japan has to import everything, yes everything. Japan is no longer competitive without Chinese factories and the Chinese market. Why would Japan feel so comfortable to kick and slap China as and when it wants, even refusing to apologise on the invasion of China and the massacre of 30 million Chinese in WW2 when it is highly dependent on China today to survive?

The answer is simple. The Japanese despise the Chinese. China has still to grow up. China may be big and strong, but its mindset is that of the China of the Qing Dynasty, always be there to be bullied and afraid to hit back. The very fact that a woman thinks she can slap China without consequences says it all.

When is China going to grow up and stand tall, and no longer be slapped by a woman and little Mickey Mouse? All the problems China is facing today is because they all look at China as a lame duck. Would America dare to start a trade war with China if they perceived China as strong and as an equal? Would China need to beg America to treat it as an equal if it is an equal to America? Would little Mickey Mouse, every European state is a Mickey Mouse, dare to provoke China, dare to charge into Beijing and telling China I want to talk to you about human rights, about Xinjiang, about Taiwan, about China's backside, if they see China as a superpower, and know that China will knock out all their teeth if they are rude? Would the Dutch dare to rob Nexperia and think they could get away with it? Would the little Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Czech, France, Germany, UK, Canada, Australia, dare to provoke China every now and then? Would Mickey Mouse Philippines think it could run circles around China if it knows China is a real hardball and not to be messed around?

All the problems China is facing is self created, by projecting an image of weakness and haplessness when provoked or attacked. China must stop the silliness and stand up as a man, behave an act as a superpower to be respected, and to stop all the silly troubles it is inviting. Remember what the Japanese told Li Hong Chang after defeating China in a naval battle and signing away Taiwan and other islands? China's weakness is an invitation to be raped, an invitation for trouble.

It is so difficult to tell the Chinese to believe in themselves and to treat the ugly and hostile world the way it deserved to be treated. Being kind and generous, to the point of being timid, is the behaviour of a loser. The Americans and all their cronies are still calling China as an aggressive nation and a threat when China is behaving like a sick cat, afraid even to kick the ass of Mickey Mouse Pinoys. Nobody appreciates kindness and respect a sick cat. They are calling China the bad guy for 'weaponising' the sale of chips in the Nexperia case, not because the Dutch forced China into holding back the export of the chips. And China relented before taking back Nexperia and with compensation. To China, it is trying to be reasonable. To the Americans, the Dutch and the West, this is the expected behaviour from a weak China that can be bullied and kicked around.

Immediately after the Xi Trump Meeting, when China gave in to all of Trump's demands, Bessant and the Washington dimwits started to attack China again. China's enemies will not change. All the white countries will be China's enemies. Canada, Australia, New Zealand will be no different. India too will be China's enemy again...very soon. Stop the delusion.

China should start to decouple from Japan immediately. Tell the Japanese to close down their factories in China. Stop trading with the Japanese, stop buying Japanese, stop buying fish from Japan. Let the Japanese know what it is like without China.

PS. I am very sad that I have to remind China again and again, to be firm and confident and to kick asses if it wants to avoid troubles and to keep the Mickey Mouse away. I know some of you are hurt, and believe that China is strong and powerful. The realities say otherwise. There were moments when China appeared to be strong, but very few. China playing the long game is a handle the West is exploiting to bully China. There are times when China must take the bull by horns and break it instantly, not allowing it to stand up again.

Decoupling from America and Japan will be Freedom Day for China.

Strategy of economic dominance versus military dominance aka build the world versus control the world

According to Kevin Wamsley on his site 'Inside China Business', the latest indication is that China is already stretched to provide rare earth elements for its own domestic demands like EVs, robots, drones, mobile phones, shipbuilding and above all its military expansion. Therefore, China need not have to cater to exporting rare earth elements as in the past, when its own demands were weak.
This is a very worrying scenario for the USA and European countries going forward, especially their ability to satisfy the demands of their military. In any case, China already stipulated that China's rare earth elements cannot be used for making weapons, only for consumer products like EVs.

In the face of this, the only alternative is for the USA and its allies to do what they gloated about doing to counter China's rare earth dominance. Suffice to say, it will be a very expensive venture and takes a long time to come to fruition. Anything made with their rare earth elements will be much more expensive. But never mind, just print more toilet papers and increasing its defense spending is therefore not a problem. Time is also an important factor, and with China having all the advantage to grow stronger militarily, what are the USA and EU going to do?

China today is confident enough to be self-dependent in many aspects of its economy, with supply chains already deeply embedded into its manufacturing sector and its hold on raw materials needed to fuel them already secured.

When the West was powering along over the last few decades, China was concentrating on its agenda to be self-sufficient and less dependent on the West and has largely succeeded. During all this time, the USA was not building up its manufacturing but in fact decimating them. The USA and the Europeans were resting on their laurels not thinking of building up supply chains and depending on others. It was arrogance of a scale that was to lead them hanging out to dry by the Chinese in their present-day position.

The easiest job in the world...running a country

 Looking at the USA, one cannot get away with the idea that the easiest job in the world is to be a politician, to run a country. And the bigger the country, the easier will be the job.

The Americans can elect anyone, crooks, cooks, conmen, criminals, D graders, cheats, bankrupts, drunkards, paedophiles, drag queens, jokers, liars, whatever, you name it, never mind. Just give the twit a big title, like president, secretary of war, finance, trade...he will perform and perform very well. What experience and training are needed? None, no need any experience, no need any training, no need any qualification. Bankrupt and conmen are highly desirable. A gangster background or morally depraved are highly sought after.

No one is worrying about the American economy tumbling into the sewers. In fact, the Americans are putting all their hopes of making America great again so that they can have the good life, without working, by letting these hooligans, numbskulls and idiots to run America and rule the world.

You can bet, Trump and his Washington clowns are doing extremely well. Well, no one is protesting or asking for their removal. No one is complaining that the American economy is hurting, is collapsing, facing a lot of internal troubles and breaking down. Oops, everything is fine. The Americans are very happy, the Congressmen and Senators are very happy with what is happening to America.

And the clowns can start wars all over the world, against everyone, all kinds of wars, and still looking good and great. And they did not have to think about what they are going to do tomorrow. Just follow their dreams, yes, just follow their dreams. Every morning when they wake up, recall what they dreamt of and put them into policies and presidential orders. So easy. And no inflation, stock market record high, no unemployment, the dollar is so strong. Can print more dollars.

Why needs talented and highly qualified individuals to run a country when the clowns in Washington are doing so well and making America great again?

The countries that are doing badly are those in the Global South with China and Russia topping the list despite having very highly qualified technocrats to run the country. Some China experts are saying China will collapse in 10 years. China is facing a lot of domestic problems, and its economy is collapsing, only 5% growth, Chinese population is growing old and will disappear soon. The American economy is rock solid, 1% growth, no joblessness, no unemployment. China is in real trouble. America is doing so great, with Trump and his clowns in charge.

The moral of the story, running a country is so easy that clowns can outperform serious highly qualified professionals and technocrats. The Americans can even elect donkeys and elephants and their economy will do just as well. Ignorance is bliss! See how happy and contented the hillbillies and rednecks are!

When is Australia becoming a real superpower?

 Pretentious Australia has been strutting around like a regional big power for a long time and still acting like one, agitating and provoking China with its few aged aircraft and bathtubs in the South China Sea. In the earlier days, when a few mirages were the game changers as neighbouring countries did not have any, there was a superficial appearance of military dominance, calling and acting like a regional sheriff, talking down to all its neighbours, bullying Papua New Guinea, the Pacific Islands and even threatening Indonesia.

Things have changed and the military might of many Asean countries are just as big as the Australians, if not more powerful in numbers and in aircraft and warships. Australia is another Mickey Mouse in an oversize jacket, and everyone can see that., with a population of only 26 million. Australia may still be able to threaten and bully Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands, but not Indonesia anymore.

Can Australia really become a superpower in the league of USA, China and Russia? It has a huge land mass to accommodate a few hundred million population. Population and economic strength other than military are two major factors to be a superpower. The potential is there, if Australia can bring in a few hundred million immigrants. But this is going to be difficult as Australia would not be able to find the few hundred white men and women to populate Australia.

Australia is a white racist state built on stolen land in SE Asia. It is very aware of this fact and also wanted to keep Australia white. Its immigration policies are carefully guarded to maintain white supremacy and with good reasons. The Australians value white Christian values and culture and would not allow immigration to dilute this white superior culture. Australia will never become kopi susu, ie a brown mixture.

Australia knows very well that the third world economic refugees are escaping from their dysfunctional countries to want to make it good in Australia, thriving because of the superior white Christian culture and values. Australia also knows that the third world economic refugees would want to turn Australia into the same dysfunctional countries, with the same values and cultures that caused these countries to be third world. If that is allowed to happen, the white Christian Australia would also become dysfunctional third world country with third word values, cultures and everything like a third world slum country.

Australians are not that stupid to allow third world cultures and values that are dysfunctional and the anti thesis to Christian, white advanced nation states to become the dominant values and cultures through reckless immigration policies. Australia knows what will become of white Australia, a developed state, if third world economic refugees are allowed freely into Australia. When that happens, it would be too late and irreversible.

Given this consideration, Australia would continue to be a Mickey Mouse pretending to be a big power vis a vis the regional countries, wearing an oversize suit, and standing on the shoulders of the American Empire. Australia would not be crazy to populate its land with third world immigrants for the sake of numbers and superficial economic gains and so called economic growth.

The Australians are wise enough in this area to see the danger of unrestrained immigration policies. Australia is not and never going to be a real superpower flooded with third world economic refugees to dilute its core values and undermine its social fabric.

Mao's guerilla warfare tactics in trade war against the Americans

Mao Tse Tung had this quote - 'The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue'. China does not want head-on collision that does not guarantee victory.

This is not an indication of weakness. This is a strategy of how to win wars. And that strategy has been put to good use, even in today's context.

China will not try to be the country that in the end everyone has to depend on. That defeats the whole idea of globalization, where comparative advantage and economy of scale prevail. As they say, competition breeds innovation and China want competition, not total annulation of competition. But the USA wants everything in its hands, not allowing other countries to be ahead in innovation, not allowing other countries to have influence and be allowed to grow stronger or richer.

China, if I may venture to say so, hopes the USA and its partners will invest in rare earth mining and refining, a position the USA is finding itself rather difficult to transcend. Investing in rare earth mining and refining needs heavy investments and takes years to accomplish and there is always the niggling fear of China's overcapacity and still be calling the shots.

The idea is not to kill, but to keep competition alive, by being in a position to deal the cards just in case.
