I restrained myself for a long time not to say this to China. But since they refused to wake up, to wise up and choose to continue with their Confucianist philosophy of not bullying the weak, not wanting to be seen to kick asses, want to act like gentlemen to scoundrels, I need to wake them up.
China's problems in the South China Sea, in Diaoyu Island, in the Sino Indian border and with Taiwan, are caused by themselves, self inflicted, and they only have themselves to blame. They have a big stick but afraid to use it, refuse to use it, until all the Mickey Mouse think China is just a lame paper tiger. So everyone of them start to crawl all over China, pulling its whiskers and scratching its face, and what can China do except to keep restraining itself, not even dare to complain, only like Ah Q, talked away the problems superficially with some excuses. Last warning, new laws to arrest trespassers etc etc but lame lame, dare to enforce.
Mickey Mouse only understand when whacked by a big stick. A good example was the 1962 Sino Indian Border War. After hammering the Indians to shit, China had at least 40 years of peace. But now Indian memory is fading and starting to behave arrogantly, like Mickey Mouse again. Also believing in their pretentious military might and with the Americans behind their back, wanting to test another Sino Indian Border War.
The same scenario is repeated in the Diaoyu Island, Taiwan and now, the most ridiculous of all, the really lame and poor third world state called the Philippines. Even the Philippines is looking down on China, believing in the Americans that China is a lame super power, a modern day Ah Q. They can pee on the head of China, spit on the face of China, and can get away with it, because China is lame and would not dare to hit back.
In Taiwan, Lai Ching Te is openly telling the Taiwanese that Taiwan is an independent state. What can lame China do? Nothing. Chinese fisherman got killed, also dare not do anything. What a shame. And the Americans are selling more weapons to Taiwan for the purpose of killing Chinese soldiers....
When China was weak, even Asean states like the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia would dare to arrest Chinese fishing boats, blasted them to pieces or dragged them to their ports and demanded a ransom for their return and the release of the fishermen. But lame China is afraid to do the same. The more afraid China behaves, the more trouble it would invite. No country would respect lame China.
What happens to the saying, 无事不找事,有事不怕事? Now troubles have come right into the room, and still afraid to lift a finger. The Philippines now don't even respect China nor the PLA Navy.
This is the time to take the big stick and just whack. Just do it and talk later. Only then would China be respected as a big power, or at least feared, and trouble would just go away. See who dares to find trouble with Israel, with the Americans or with India? They would just kick asses.
When would China's PLA Navy stop behaving like Ah Q? Would China want to have shit thrown at its face before acting? Or when shit hits China's face, China would simply wipe it off and say never mind, it smells like chocolate?
China must stop being stupid, stop being lame, stop behaving like Ah Q. Lu Xun would be turning in his grave.
