Oh boo hoo hoo we retook a chunk of territory that temporarily seceded at a time of our weakness, and the territory practised and spread slavery, and engaged in territorial aggression against the neighbouring provinces. Pedoslaver theocrats and their fanboys stay losing.
The funniest part of JD Vance’s speech is the ending:
“I am angry about the rise of China… but I am most angry that American leadership let it happen.”
Let it happen?
As if China’s rise was an American clerical error.
As if 1.4 billion people industrialized because Washington forgot to lock the door.
China was sanctioned, contained, smeared, tariffed, and technologically strangled.
And still it became the world’s strongest industrial economy.
India had the population.
India had English.
India had earlier access to the WTO.
India had Western approval, “democracy” branding, and decades of geopolitical courtship.
Capital still chose China.
Factories still chose China.
Supply chains still chose China.
Why?
Because civilization is not built by flattering Washington.
It is built by infrastructure, discipline, engineers, workers, logistics, electricity, education, and state capacity.
America’s next ten years are not about competing with China.
That phase is already over.
America is now competing with India for who can disappoint capital less.
China’s real opponent was never America.
China’s real opponent is its own execution, its own discipline, its own ability to keep building without believing Western noise.
Vance is angry because China rose.
But what really humiliates him is this:
America tried to stop it.
And China rose anyway.
What terrifies Washington is not that young Chinese people hate America.
It is that they can look at America without worship.
That is the end of empire at the psychological level.
America is no longer the promised land.
No longer the final classroom.
No longer the only image of modernity.
Older Chinese generations looked at America as the future.
Chinese youth can admire Silicon Valley and still choose Shenzhen.
They can study America and still see its chaos, inequality, racial decay, medical poverty, political madness, and imperial arrogance.
China did not only build roads, ports, EVs, AI models, and high-speed rail.
China built another future.
The American dream used to be the world’s measuring stick.
China has rewritten the ruler.
The funny thing is, Chinese people won’t assume somewhere is automatically China just because there’s a Chinatown. Thai people won’t assume somewhere is Thailand just because there’s a Thai restaurant.
But somehow Japanese people always assume somewhere with cherry blossoms, UNIQLO, or sushi restaurants is Japan and then get mad at the locals for not following ridiculous rules that only apply in Japan.

Uh-huh. Yeah, sure. What are you going to do about Hong Kong again? Inbred swarthy Libyan Jew seething about Britain’s "ignominious" decision.
British colonial policy was to defend Hong Kong with nuclear weapons if the Chinese ever tried to take it by force. We should have done that rather than hand it over to the communists in such an ignominious manner.
Also, you probably have no idea but the "Hong Kongers" who call their mainland cousins "locusts" are actually the children of mainland refugees themselves who arrived in Hong Kong after the Civil War fleeing the CCP. They are no 'native' Hong Kongers who have been a minuscule minority regardless because Hong Kong has always been a cosmopolitan city that has absorbed people from all over China. Every 'native' Hong Konger is just a Chinese who arrived in Hong Kong generations before.
There's nothing wrong with retaking a territory that's lost for just over a generation that has 1. launched aggression against you during the short period of independence (look up Qinghai-Tibet wars in the 1930s, and 2. practised and tried spreading slavery - sounds familiar?
@mmjukic How do you manage to turn a pure anti-civilisational power fantasy into some more order restored “put down the muhfuggin criminulz impeding lawful life” garbage. The appeal is BEING the criminal, the outlaw, that’s why people play these games

Animuhong is worshipped in Northern Amdo, especially near Kumbum Monastery. Manchu military administration of the region contributed to his depiction as a Manchu general
China has banned the export of all dual-use items to Japanese military users and for Japan’s military use. The aim is to contain Japan’s remilitarization and its attempt to possess nuclear weapons, said the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Sanae Takaichi lamented at the G7 that China’s rare earth sanctions are affecting Japan’s economy.
This is the same person who openly threatened China by saying that “a Taiwan emergency is a Japan emergency.”
A defeated fascist state, once disarmed by the anti-fascist order after turning Asia into a slaughterhouse, is now trying to insert itself into China’s internal affairs and present that as “security.”
Then when China responds with economic measures, Japan plays the victim.
Classic.
Japan should be glad that China is not the United States.
If a foreign leader said “a Cuba emergency is our emergency” to Washington, the U.S. would not respond with polite export controls.
It would call it a national security threat, sanction everyone involved, send warships, threaten regime change, and may even kidnap that leader and his family within a week, drag them back to the United States, and try them on drug trafficking charges.
Trump attacked Iran for months under the excuse that Iran must not even have the chance to build a nuclear weapon.
Iran did not say “Cuba is our emergency.”
Iran did not invade the U.S.
Iran did not station forces near Florida.
Yet Washington bombed Tehran, assassinated Khamenei, blockaded Hormuz, and called it security.
Japan, meanwhile, openly links itself to Taiwan, challenges China’s sovereignty, pushes remilitarization, flirts with nuclear ambitions, and then cries when China restricts dual-use exports.
Japan should understand one thing very clearly:
China’s economic measures are restraint.
Perhaps too restrained.
That is exactly why Japan dares to challenge China’s core red lines of sovereignty again and again.
In the end, a defeated militarist power does not get to threaten the victorious country, interfere in its territorial question, and then demand uninterrupted access to strategic materials.
If Japan wants stable relations with China, it should stop pretending dialogue means China staying silent while Tokyo rearms, provokes, and hides behind the G7.
China is indeed not the United States.
That is why Japan is still being warned through economic tools instead of being treated the way Washington treats countries that cross its red lines.
