China: the US, China and the EU should all be equals.

US and EU: yeah but some are more equal than others.

China and the US reaches a trade deal between equals.

EU trade deal with the US where it takes 15% tariffs and promises trillions in investments and unnecessary purchases all for the pleasure of bending over and crying daddy.

China: we reluctantly accept your counter offer re equality. We don’t need you to bend over, but we will take the rest of the same deal thank you very much.

Oh, and finally.

Cultural clash. Western culture is to never be honest, puff out your chest, fake it 'till you make it, always attempt to approach something from a position of power even when you are in weakness. High school drop out who carried ice buckets, restarted the hot dog machine and took out the trash at 7-11 dreaming about a 6 figure job? Resume says, "Uniquely educated thermal engineer with experience in troubleshooting advanced machinery and waste management considering a new career path and oppertunity of a lifetime for employer if specific salary requirements can be met." It's all about presenting yourself as a confident businessman in a suit with a grand proposal even when you are nothing but a beggar. So this beggar who desperately needs China's help, decides to tell China what we "must" do. It doesn't work in Asian culture, which is too intelligent to fall for such a poor trick and strongly believes in soft-spoken diplomacy. If you need China's help (not help with a genocide, of course but with something reasonable), you come with humility and you request humbly. You flatter your audience and make yourself poor so that you may earn his sympathy. The current approach only draws derision and laughter in China, a mentally ill beggar demanding food in the king's court telling the King that he "must" be fed for national security or some other funny reason.

Not everyone talks like this, but people who get into management and other talking jobs are often the type of people you spoke about.

Western society functions similar to their way of handling geopolitics. What a person does matters less than what cliqué the person is in. Imagine people who have been handed opportunities on a silver platter their whole life and fail upward. Of course they possess an unwarranted sense of confidence.

The pleb then emulate thinking it is some secret sauce because they have been brainwashed their whole life into believing there is a path to success.

Former Aus Foreign Minister talking abt Aukus deal.
...

The incoming chief of US Navy operations has warned the US will not be able to fulfil its AUKUS obligations without doubling its submarine-building capacity, in a fresh sign of the doubts over whether the agreement can be honoured.

Meanwhile, this masthead can confirm Australia’s second $800 million payment to help the US build nuclear-powered submarines was made in June, when the Australian government was already aware of the Pentagon’s review of AUKUS.
