Unrelated tangent: there's a concept in Japanese called "空気を読む" (Kuuki wo yomu) which literally translates as "read the air" but basically means "read the room". I have seen multiple white dudes go on long angry rants on separate occasions about how it's "unfair" that the Japanese are being "so indirect" and "won't just say what they mean". Real bruh shit.
Ahh yes China, famous non-buyers of oil.
