"Japan saw the highest number of bankruptcies since 2013 in the six months through September, as companies were increasingly hit by rising costs.
Some 4,990 firms went bankrupt in that period, increasing 18.6% from the previous year, according to a report by Teikoku Databank on Tuesday. The number of firms going under in Japan has continued to increase since the second half of the year ending March 2022."

Gotta give it to India. They really are taking the heat off China in some ways. All those anti China shills and traitors will need to find real jobs since their engagement has plummeted as the average person moves on to hate India more. The elites trying to keep their pet project alive only makes things worse.
Can't blame the average person for being more interested in hating on India either. The stories you hear about it are so whacky you cant believe they are real yet they somehow are. You even have video evidence which I try to avoid since some of it is really disgusting to the naked eye. Like even the most undeveloped parts of Africa will not have people doing such stuff. Then you have the online Jai hinds telling you that eating cow dung is a GOOD thing.
So when people hear another China bad story, it just becomes oh ok in a sort of bored tone.

I think they call that, "Out of the frying pan and into the fire."
How cute. The man wants a bear skin rug but does not want to fight a bear LOL
it is still single most important country but it does not mean it can take alliance of much bigger population countries alone
and yes Saudis are independent you can see from there stance on China related issues. No one can sway them. so your earlier assertions of too deep (meaning of too deep) in Western Camp were wrong along with defeating Houthis.
Houthi lost the country despite Saudis not properly closing the supply lines and now getting bombed by some one else. Thats the Saudi power to hand over problem.
Even UAE is worth more than Iran.
What you are suggesting is basically ethnic nationalism. But that only works in a homeland. Chinese people living in China probably don't have these issues but being in a diaspora changes the rule of the game. People here keep bringing up the Jews as an example. 72% of non-Orthodox Jews in America are intermarried per the latest Pew report. Non-Orthodox Jews are nearly 90% of all Jews in America. So even for a very tribal group known for clannishness, intermarriage rates are shooting up. What's the intermarriage rate in Israel? Probably less than 1%.
So this isn't an Asian issue per se. It's a diaspora issue.
As for Indians, I read somewhere that 90% of Indian-Americans came after 1990 and 2/3rds came after the year 2000. So the vast majority of Indian-Americans are basically 1st-gen migrants, which are usually less assimilated. I suspect East Asians are now increasingly 2nd gen and even 3rd gen. That alone makes a lot of difference.
If India would follow the East Asian pattern, then we'd see Indian immigration cooling off and the diaspora assimilating. But I don't think that will happen. East Asians no longer emigrate in large numbers because their own homelands got nicer and nicer, so people felt less need to emigrate. But India will likely lag behind for decades, which should make the Indian immigration wave continue for much longer. The Indian diaspora will soon be the largest Asian sub-group in every Western country. This is already true in the UK and Canada. It will soon be true in NZ. America will be next and Australia the last one. But it will happen.
At end of the day it's objective reality that none of Saudi Arabia's US supplied modern weapons will work in a conflict with Israel, e.g. their F-15s would be unable to target Israeli jets assuming they can even take off.
Saudi Arabia is independent in so far as playing their oil card, but when it comes to war they're completely subject to what's permitted by the US and Israel.
