Japan acts, China talks

 Escalation after escalation, provocation after provocation. China talks, Japan punches. This is the difference between an aggressive power and a weak power. Words work sometimes. But if it doesn't, repeating the same thing over and over again makes the user looks ridiculous, like a hopeless loser.  In this new confrontation between Japan and China, Japan is coming up on top. The mamasan is not alone. She has the whole of Japan behind her, supporting her aggressive stand against China. The Japanese now attacked the response from Xu Jian as inappropriate but would not admit that the mamasan's comments were meddling in China's internal affair and absolutely offensive and hostile.

China, as usual, like in all encounters in the sea, around the Diaoyu Islands, would be on the receiving end, taking punches again and again. How many times had the Japanese arrested Chinese fishermen? How many times have the Pinoys and South Koreans arrested Chinese fishermen? Did China ever arrest their fishermen?

When would China act and behave like a superpower instead of just talking? The Japanese are not afraid of China especially when they know China would not dare to take any action. Like the Americans, and even Mickey Mouse Pinoys, they just act. They are not afraid of this and that, not afraid of shadows and not afraid of western media as the western media would be on their side.

Is China still thinking that the mamasan was expressing her own opinion and telling her to 'return to the correct path' will work? It has never work. Words are useless against aggressive adversaries. Japan is not just an aggressive adversary. Japan is a vicious beast in suits and tie, in kimonos.

The mamasan will not back down, Japan will not back down when taking on China that is afraid of even Mickey Mouse. Japan has been watching how China deals with Mickey Mouse and knows that China is as predictable as China. Words and words but no action, waiting to be punched and kicked around. The Nexperia issue is still brewing with the Dutch still standing tall, with the Americans provoking and engineering more attacks against China. The Americans have landed thousands of punches on China and still punching. How many punches did China hit back? Oh, rare earths are good enough? Sure, but still releasing rare earths when asked to.

Did anyone call the American terrorists as aggressive? Did anyone call the Dutch and the Japanese as aggressive and troublemakers? No, they are all calling China as the aggressor, the troublemaker. And this label frightens the shit out of China. China is so afraid to be called the aggressor, Wolf Warrior diplomacy, when it is on the receiving end, being bashed every day and everywhere. Did China removed Zhao Lijian from his post because the West protested against his Wolf Warrior image?

Would China really believe the Japanese would back down because of a few words from the Chinese spokesmen? The Americans, and now the Japanese, are bringing war to the doorstep of China. What is China doing? The whole world is watching. This is a coordinated attack masterminded by the American terrorists to bring down China. They are not allowing China to play the long game, to avoid a war with the Americans and the Japanese and allies.

Not taking up the fight would make China look meek and a loser, and more pressure would mount on China, like selling arms to Taiwan and defending the mamasan. China has the choice of standing up and punch back. Then the Americans and gangs would have to decide how to react, to fight or take flight. At the moment the Americans are throwing the punches and watching whether China will fight or take flight. It is a game of chicken with the American terrorists pushing against China. The Americans/Japanese just up the stake and watching if China would follow or fold up.

Are the Americans, Japanese and allies really want a war with China and think they can win? Or they have read that China does not want a war and will only reply with words, and can be pushed around to look like a loser to the rest of the world?

Trump will always shout that he wins. Ah Q will always find excuses to walk away from a fight. The lame excuse is to play the long game. There are times when playing the long game should be put aside.

无事不找事，有事不怕事。真的吗！脸给打肿了还在躲。
