I don't know how old you are but before the rise of China, everyone in Asia despised Japan. That's how rabid nationalists operate. Nationalists hate everyone. Who ever is seen doing better is the one that receives all the envy and jealousy and ire. I debated a young Japanese in a forum once and he was in denial that Japan was ever seen making cheap products that were shoddy. Everything the West bashes about quality in China today, was said of Japan in the 70s and 80s. That's how Japan was seen as a worse enemy than the Soviet Union.
Same for shoddy Korean products in the 1980s. But really from the 1970s people started respecting Japan. And it's higher than Korea's. People respect Korea, but they have a certain fear of Japan's martial might that doesn't exist when they think about Korea. Even today, mentioning the Mitsubishi Zero or Admiral Yamamoto still instils apprehension in white people. Me thinks to a certain extent it is the colonial legacy, coupled with Japan's economic development and soft power. Being colonized does strange things to your psyche and mentality.
Having shown your prowess in war makes people look up to you. Like it or not, you make yourself look the alpha dog when you are a successful warfighter.
Will happen in the next 50 years when China reunites Taiwan and kicks the Americans out of asia.
People are the same. They fear and respect the strong, they bully and crush the weak
Same applies to countries. With the US "relatively weakening", the world is now entering a period of instability as the alpha dog who was keeping order among the "weak" is now standing aside.
Now these "weak" countries will start attacking each other until a new hierarchy is established.
The more you see it the more you understand that international relations between countries is like a jungle.
You have apex predators establishing their territories where they have complete control, and inside you have smaller predators which establish their own hierarchy depending on how strong they are
In the end, we are just animals

I take a very cynical view: the world is like a giant prison with alliances formed around race; right now the Aryan Brotherhood aka the Five Eyes is the current top dog and is trying to get the hispanics and blacks to attack the rising Asian Triads.
Effectively, the only thing that matters is bloodlines and tribalism; nation states are a relatively new phenomenon, it's always been down to race.
