Yeah I remember that period too from 2023 to early 2024, when the West had thought it'd won. Every week was an article about how China was alienating countries, cracking down on its companies and entertainment sector, and how Chinese illegals were pouring in through the US border, signalling in effect the so called Cold War was over before it even began and the US only had to grab the proverbial popcorn bucket. But then of course, the election happened and China simply went, "I believe that popcorn bucket belongs to me."


The video also had some tidibits I'd never though of. Like how when it comes to AI the US holds up its unicorns which care little for anything else other than fundraising, while China actually implements AI on the societal and logistical level. Thus giving it a leg up at setting AI standards globally. I guess its roughly akin to how Germany has fewer fortune 500 companies than even France, but is still Europe's head honcho economically and technologically due to its Mittelstand firms that dominate global precision engineering of core components.

At least Shinzo Abe was your usual politician with their political forked tongue. I don’t see that with Sanae Takaichi. She is clearly pushing for conflict with China in some form. Most likely going to set the stage to drag Japan into joining the US war against China.

Diplomatic relations with China get under her skin and threats to send Japanese troops to Taiwan. She seems more like those European chihuahuas than a career politician like Shinzo Abe.

It's probably going to be nothing, and there's a reason for it. Right now, Philippines doesn't have a military. Its air force is a whole 12 FA-50s, and its navy has something like 3 frigates. So as a nation with no military, the US isn't going to expect it to actually fight against Chinese forces. But if Philippines has F-16s then the US will expect it to contribute militarily.
