China Sees U.S. as a "Giant With a Limp"

Jack Grealish said:
Even if China accepted all the treaties that would split its sovereignty and territorial integrity, like it did at the end of the Qing dynasty, that still wouldn't actually solve anything. It would just be feeding Japanese militarism once again. And that Japanese militarism is the same one that attacked Pearl Harbor during World War II. What Americans can't seem to understand right now is that U.S. interference in China's affairs, and all those moves aimed at weakening China, won't do the United States any good. A whole, unified China would be the most reliable ally the U.S. could have in East Asia. Japan cannot be trusted. Someday, Americans will come to realize this. Hopefully, it won't be after the U.S. has paid another heavy price.

I admittedly don't understand the fear of Japan.

Notice how Marty can’t refute a single thing I said so he just brushes it off as a 'valiant effort.' Lol. The poor bastard is a prisoner to the morons he reads. I wonder if Marty can find and share a single piece of work from the writer that has stood the test of time and scrutiny? I don't really wonder, he can't.

They're the only people on the planet who've been nuked, but they've done pretty well post-occupation without empire-building or colonial pursuits. Also, we're the ones who nuked them, not China.

You could very well be right about them, but I'm just not seeing it. I see the bright, colorful lights of Tokyo and polite, industrious people.
 

China energy imports drop amid US-Israeli war on Iran​


China’s crude oil imports fell by 20 percent in April to 38.5 million metric tonnes compared with a year earlier, according to customs data released.

China imports about half of its crude oil from Iran, where the US blockade of the strait has slashed the number of tankers carrying oil and refined products to the world.

Saturday’s data from China does not distinguish between oil arriving by sea and oil coming in via pipeline. Data from ship-tracking firm Kpler, however, put seaborne crude imports at 8.03 million barrels per day, the lowest since July 2022.

Natural gas imports also fell by 13 percent to 8.42 million tonnes, although the data does not separate seaborne liquefied natural gas (LNG) from gas piped overland. China imports significant quantities of LNG from Iran.

China’s crude oil imports for the first four months of the year are still tracking 1.3 percent above last year’s level at 185.3 million tonnes.
