    “Chinese foreign policy is like chess. If an opponent looks to take one of your valuable pieces, you need to take one of theirs. To stop China’s high-handed behavior, it was important that I continue to win elections and make clear to them that Abe was here to stay. I feel that I have been playing such a psychological war with my Chinese counterparts for many years. In this sense, the Chinese are completely different from the South Koreans, whose only tactic is to toss the chess board upside down.”

    Neoliberal ghouls stop comparing everything to chess challenge. :cringe:

      And it doesn't even make sense in a chess context.

      Also, real nice to just throw the "I don't know why Korean people are so apprehensive and short with Japan in International affairs... wonder why that is :wonder-who-thats-for: ". Real "I don't understand why women are so angry and unreasonable, i'm just asking questions, bro" vibes.

        Right. You don’t take a valuable piece just because you can. You’re supposed to look ahead and see whether the piece will eventually lead to victory or just a stall

          And sure, they take a piece, you take one, and in most cases you're going to have equal material, but if that's your level of understanding of chess and/or geopolitics, good luck dealing with anyone with barely any strategic thinking.
