    This guy is a new level of unhinged for China watchers.

    Also funny how Aussies suddenly love Japan now. I still remember them frothing over Japanese whalers and bringing up the Rape of Nanking all the damn time. Now they go on about how Japanese culture inherently believes in environmental preservation while China doesn't.

      During the 90s, anti-japanese racism was bonkers. Japanese tourist jokes were pretty routine

      I think it depends on who daddy america is threatened by at the time

      Remember the scene from SpongeBob when patrick yells out "because you told me to"

      That's Australia to America's plankton but at least Patrick has some minimal level of independence

        In fairness, when we tried to break free just a little bit they couped us instantly. Then later when we wanted to tax US companies they couped us again.

      Japanese culture inherently believes in environmental preservation while China doesn’t.

      ah of course, Japan who were going to just release all the Fukushima reactor water into the sea, have an inherent trait of envioronmental preservation in their culture. sounds about white.
