When Japan invaded China and captured most of the big cities, massacring Chinese to satisfy their savage nature, they arrogantly told the Chinese that this was the result of being weak. A weak China invited the strong to invade and to rule China. The fault was not the aggressive nature of the invaders, but the weak and hapless Chinese.
Did China learn from this painful experience, an ancient civilisation ten times bigger than Japan but being whipped like a stray dog with tails between its legs, with the heads of its people being chopped off for the amusement of the barbaric Japanese soldiers, and unable to fight back. China was a living hell for the Chinese during the Japanese Occupation. Robbed of everything of value, even the dignity and decency of being Chinese. They became the pariahs in their homeland, in the world.
The Chinese would not forget these dark days of their history and worked extremely hard, with many of their brightest, the best scientists and engineers, chosing to return to their motherland to rebuild their country sacrificing the lure of fortune and fame in foreign lands. When the tide changed, when opportunity opened its door, the Chinese were in a great hurry to catch up with the rest of the world. They are now at the top vying to be the number one super power, competing directly with the Americans. But one thing they still have not learnt. Or is it due to Confucius philosophy of being humble and respectful of the weak, that they refused to act like a super power? They allowed little silly countries to spit at them, to climb over their heads, to taunt them, to even seize Chinese lands and islands and still refraining from putting their feet down and tell the scoundrels to get lost.
When China was weak, it was bullied and unable to fight back. When China was working hard to find its way back, it has no choice but to keep its head low, just keep working, ignore the stares and the spits and the insults. Work hard to be rich and strong, to be able to defend themselves. During this period, Deng Xiaoping's famous advice, keep a low profile, do not get into trouble, avoid trouble, were the mantras of the time.
When China is finally rich and strong, many still refuse to accept their new status and wanted to continue to live the way Deng told them. They could not understand that time has changed, the situation has changed. They were angry when Xi Jinping came out with the bold policy of acting as a big and respectable nation state and reclaim whatever belongs to China, particularly the South China Sea. They lack the confidence to be big powers, still afraid and wanting to put their heads down and mine their own business. Still wanting to be Ah Qs.
It is this kind of thinking in the Chinese leadership that gives the world the impression that China may be big and strong, but can still be kicked around by little asses? Look at America, or even Israel, is there any silly country that dares to fool around or mess with them? They know that doing so would get them a black eye immediately. Even second rate third world power like India would carry a big clout to whack its neighbours if they mess around with India's interest. India even thinks it can mess around with China. Let alone little silly countries in Asean, taunting and throwing punches at China and thinking they can get away, all because China would not hit back, would not dare to hit back, or because of its antiquated beliefs that kindness would earn respect.
China forgets that the devils and snakes would always be devils and snakes. Being kind to devils and snakes would only end up being attacked by the devils and bitten by the snakes. China is now a super power, as powerful as the USA. If it does not behave as one, act as one, it would be treated like a dumb overgrown village fool. No one is going to respect a village fool.
China has to act and behave like a super power to be respected if not feared. To the devils and snakes, they would never like China or want to be friends with China. China must not harbour any illusion that the snakes and devils would love them one day. There is only one way to deal with devils and snakes. That is to kick their asses when they misbehaved. Only then would they behave and stay away from irritating and trying to be funny with China. Let them fear China and avoid China. Only then would China enjoy some peace and respectability in the world as a big power. If China insists to continue to tie its hands behind its back, then there will be endless troubles in the South China Sea, Taiwan, Tibet and the border with India.
There are times when might is right and China must use its might to protect its rights. Unless China enjoys or tolerates little pricks trying to seize its islands in the South China Sea, or traitors working with foreign powers to bring down China.
Weakness invites aggression and trouble. A super power that behaves as weak would also invites aggression and trouble even from little pricks. Wake up China and stop the aggression and mischievous behaviours of the aggressors, big and small. Failing to act against aggression and mischief is a sign of weakness.
Would China want to be weak forever, to be seen as weak forever, and to forever invite aggression? When little silly states think it is ok to taunt and attack China, it is the fault of China as a failed super power, not the fault of little silly states. When Japan still thinks it can invade and attack China, it is the fault of China, not Japan...because China ask for it. This applies to what the Americans are doing in Taiwan. China's weakness is inviting trouble and the independence of Taiwan. It emboldens the trouble making Americans.
How strong or how weak is China depends on its willingness to act. If it is afraid to act, all the massive military weapons it possesses mean nothing. Afraid to act is weakness.
The real world respect only might. Believing and practicing virtues and righteousness in the real world are meant for the fools. Having said this, China should not behave like gangsters and terrorists in the world stage like the rogue Americans and the West that are hated everywhere in the world.

If China is afraid to defend its own islands and land, it is as good as saying the islands and land are up for grabs. That is why the Pinoys dare to park their rotting junk in Chinese island and get away with it.
China is encouraging the Pinoys and Asean states to claim and grab its islands by its inaction. This is a case of stupidity has no cure. What is China afraid of? The Americans? When China do or did not do, it would be condemned and attacked by the Americans. So why not just do it?
See how the Americans are whacking the Latin American states, the European states, the Asean states and all behave as what the Americans want them to. No one even dares to talk back or bad about the American bullying. Only the Africans dare to talk back to the Americans.
Africans dare to talk back to the Americans because U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is black, Obama is black !
China is trying NOT to add fuel to all the chaos of the mentally sickos barbarians
The Chinese been humbled loved Peace as they knew the sufferings of all these damn stupid Wars.
Building up country with beautiful cities and infrastructures are NOT easy.
To destroy them is fast.
Just like a jealous and sicko person who seen your wealth and your house is so beautiful and his is a rubble and squatter, he will try also to destroy yours.
So China kept their patience and knew that all these wars mongers now who are desperate and have NOT much lose than China who had thru their blood and swept build up their country will be destroyed if not in full but also partially if they were to be belligerent and fight all these bastards.
They knew that aims are to destroy them as their are jealous of their well run beautiful country as now compared to the Western Barbarians.
So if China were also to start supplying arsenals of wars and destructions that frankly it be a WWIII.
So China is NOT weak as all seemed to perceive she is just because she is passive not to add to the Chaos and Destructions.
If any stupid damn country especially the Whites were to attack them, then that's be a different scenario.
They will be totally annihilated by China.
The PRCs are just smothering their will of any vengeance of the past atrocities of those who had committed against them.
The PRCs are been ingrained NOT to be bullied or be conquered again.
Their PLA Military are trained to die for Country and Honour in Deaths for the MotherLand.
Whereas the Rest of the other Militaries are just professional militaries for their monies and will only fight to live for another day.
So if China were to supply arms to the countries that dared defile the Americunts and their doggies, wild accusations will be hurled against them as Agressors and Wars Mongers.
Thus, this is why China is still keeping their cool.
Also hoping that civilised and sane countries would know the bad odours of all these barbarians and would be on their side to promote peace.
See that Daley EU Rep and many others sane Whites who also criticise their own for been Wars Mongers.
So this is China's hope that hopefully Peace will prevailed.
Kishore Mahbubani says this is the Asian century.
Kishore is wrong. This is not the Asian century.
This is the Chinese century!
Just to add a PRC General words:
We don't want troubles but we are NOT afraid of Troubles.
This is always the character and traits of Chinese.
But in self defence and too many lines are crossed against them, their retaliations are frightening.
China has never been a colonial power but the victims of colonial invasion by the barbarians. And the barbarians are selling the narrative everyday that China is the aggressor and the barbarians are the peace keepers. That China is an expansionist power wanting to conquer the world when the white savages were the ones that had conquered the world and wanting to keep it that way.
China will only fight against the Americans and the West, including Japan. These are the real enemies of China. The rest, including India, are just irritants to be ignored. What is a silly little Asean country throwing stones at China. China knows that they are harmless and useless. They would change their position once the Americans and the West are down and out.
Now in their stupidity, they think they are damn brave to shout and poke at China. China could easily crush them like cockroaches.
👍
China is just biding its time.
When the time is right, China will work with Pakistan in a two-front war with India to get back Arunachal Pradesh, while Pakistan get back Jammu & Kashmir.
India’s former army chief general MM Naravane has admitted on Jul 28 that “no one has ever won a two-front war” and warned that India must not fight its neighbours, particularly Pakistan and China, and resolve its conflict with them via diplomacy.
India would be broken up into many parts. The Sikhs, Kashmirs, Kerelas, the northeast regions, the southern and central regions, would form their own states and break away from the upper class Brahmins in Delhi. There will be many new independent states to be formed.
Perhaps we should also ask, why didn't Admiral Cheng Ho expand China's territory when it China at the peak of its naval and military power?
Mathathir knew that was a possibility with Malacca, but China just wanted trade and diplomatic connections. The Portuguese had a different mentality mired in greed. They came, they saw and they returned with an Armada to take control of Malacca. But that did not last when they lost Malacca to the Dutch, which in turn had to cede control to the Brits.
Would the Chinese have been able to hold Malacca had Admiral Cheng Ho done the same as the Portuguese? Had China been like the USA today, it would have been hated even by the Africans, the greatest victims of colonial rule. In fact it transpired that China supported the Africans in their anti colonial fight, a position that China found itself being colonised later, and a stance that the African are still deeply grateful. China had no intent to adopt the colonial mindset of the Anglo Saxon White barbarians.
Just like the people in the USA, most people seems to think that China is still weak and afraid to do anything with anyone poking its eyes.
Lest they forgot the warning of Napolean Bonaparte who said 'There lies a sleeping giant. Let him sleep, for when he awakes he will move the world', in reference to China.
China always played the long games, history showed the Mongol and Manchu did conquered China. However, in the end got absorbed snd naturalised. Japan had an opportunity to conquered China in world war 2 but were disrupted by Western Powers. If not Japan may be similarly absorbed. India became like China since it independent, whoever wanted to take India would be also be absorbed. Only food for thought.
India's mindset is now more influenced by the USA, and should India ever rise as a global superpower, it will be like the USA today. Just look at the way the Indians are playing the game of suppressing foreign investments in India, they have to follow the 'Indian First' mentality, which means giving way to let Indians control eventually or loose their pants.
This is just a mirror of Trumps's 'USA first' mentality, where no foreign companies must compete more successfully with USA companies. Think of Alstom, Toshiba and Huawei being targeted, because they were beating USA companies in what they were doing.
Now suppressing China in chip manufacturing because of the fear of China overtaking them. Rather than taking up the challenge, the USA is engaging in stifling competition, just to gain the upper hand using 'hitting below the belt' tactics that it is so famous for. And for that the USA needed help in its vile agenda and causing harm to others, even allies, just to benefit itself.
Tomorrow August 01 - China's export control of eight gallium products and six germanium products for making semiconductor chips will come into effect.
There is talk of a venture between USA, Japan and Mongolia to extract rare earth to counter China. That had been talked about before.
The problem is it is not the availability of rare earth raw materials, as it is in abundance all over the world. It can be found in many countries. The real problem is refining it and the extraction of the various usable elements. China holds more than 80% of the refining facilities, besides also having huge reserves on its soil. Now using the narrative that for reasons of 'national security issues' it has to restrict exports of rare earth is as valid as the USA claiming 'national security issues' to ban Huawei.
Assuming the mining venture takes shape, we have to remember that Mongolia is a landlocked country, and still will need a port to bring the ores for refining. Transporting those ores will be expensive, even if they managed to rent a port from China, not to add that China may refuse to do the refining for them. Setting up refining facilities is a very expensive investment and even the USA, which has its own refining facilities, has to partly make use of China's refining expertise to produce the best quality final product.
So, they can try to unsettle China with all the propaganda they want, but solving the problem is not a question of months, but several years. What then if they can set up those facilities to refine rare earth, can they realistically compete against China holding all the cards over supply and demand factors?
