That's because China bogged down 2 million Japanese troops in the China theatre.

If China did not bog down 2 million Japanese troops between 1931-1937, I can assure you Battle of Khalkhin would be reinforced with even larger amount of troops and equipment and that battle could have turned out differently. Soviet Union would have to station millions of troops in Siberia just to deter Japan, which would have made it's Eastern Front (with Nazi Germany) significantly more vulnerable.

Soviets wiped IJA in 1937 because the vast majority of IJA was in China in a stalemate. If China was easily conquered, IJA concentrated it's full might on Siberia, we could be talking about Re-run of Russo-Japanese War, with Nazi Germany invading from West, and Japan from the East.

There's much more to that. The US did a hell of a good job destroying Japan, and they almost controlled all of East Asia. And we shouldn't only focus on WW2 itself. The US singled out Japan as a potential emerging threats decades before Japan invaded and annexed Manchuria.

The US was first spooked by the Anglo-Japanese Alliance against the Russian Empire. And soon after the Japanese won the Russo-Japanese war, the US started their plan. As soon as the Russian Empire is no more after WWI (and thus greatly reduced the British Empire's desire in maintaining Anglo-Japanese Alliance), the Americans throw their diplomatic punch, and this culminated in the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922. This not only deprived Japan of a powerful ally to safeguard their own strategic security, it also restricted Japanese Naval buildup (especially at time when Japan's Keynesian economics gave what was one of the best years in naval and maritime shipbuilding industry). If it's not for the depression, Japan would very likely have gone into stagflation.

In a way, you could say that despite the Japanese's hunger for land and resources, they would have being very reluctant to plan and execute a plan of total invasion of China, if they have not been first badly pressed and marginalized by the USA before the depression. And what's worse is that the US cared NOTHING for global peace in the 1930s, and did everything they could to get out of the depression: including huge amount of trade with Japan to provide Japan with strategic resources, machineries and technologies, without which the Japanese would have NEVER dared to start a total invasion of China.

Therefore, you could say that the Americans first turned Japanese into a dire state of strategic self-preservation. Then handed them the means to victimize China and SEA. And when the Japanese got bogged down in China and the ROC almost got destroyed, the Americans (now fully recovered from the Great Depression), descend upon the myriad people of East Asia as a Savior, liberating and conquering everyone.

However, the only bug in their plan, is the CPC.

if last century was the USA basically dominating the world and mass murdering people in the name of freedom and basically white washing every sin as though they are blessed by God to be able to do this forever, this century is going to be the century of humiliation and destruction of the USA to the point where the nation won’t be mentioned in the end times in the Bible. When the Bible basically goes as far as to spell out the destruction and end of the USA, it’s pretty clear that the nation of the USA doesn’t have long left to exist. So does God bless America?

Well, I don't know what the future holds. All I know is that humans are not an animal to be underestimated.
If you consider the many countries and civilizations as an ecosystem, the USA is basically a new (invasive) species that just emerged into this ecosystem. Because for most of Human civilization, the earth is predominately a Eurasian + Northern Africa game, with Sub-Saharan Africa as the biggest secondary arena of this game. Oceania and the Americas has always been very trivial and marginalized in human history.

With the rise of the USA in the last one and a half century, human civilization was experiencing a huge anomaly. And for a while, we the entire Eurasian-and-North-African regions is getting slapped and played around by the USA. And it almost seemed that they are indeed the "Superior Human Specie" (metaphorically speaking) that really controls the game.

But that period of chaos is over, we are right now getting used to this new specie called the USA. She is no longer a god-like entity hovering above the Old-World anymore. The only people who are not aware of that is the Americans themselves. Because for a while we the Old-World do see the USA as the unbeatable Beacon and Future of the world. But now, we (at least the great power nations of the Old-World) are starting the see that the USA is, after all, only human.

Therefore, there is a huge trend of a (unconscious) coordinate effort by both the allies and the competitors/rivals of the USA, to drag the USA down from her throne. Major minions (like Japan, South Korea, Germany, etc) are putting up no real effort to try to help the USA achieve their goals, while at the same times try to get as much benefits from the US as possible. Powerful allies like UK and the France, are actively milking all the strategic and economic benefits from the US for their own ambitions. Weaker minions/allies are pushing their luck, trying to force American to show how much she is willing to do for them.

Right now, the US is like a tired, old, powerless factory owner, with a whole bunch of selfish workers that has no morale to produce the products he needs to compete with his powerful competitors who owns and operates fully automated production lines.

Hence, why the arrogant Americans during Truman's time the mantra was "Who Lost China" as if China was America's to lose or own in the first place.

Most asylum seekers that have applications approved are Chinese nationals

A long essay by a university student about Huawei 5G and the Philippines. It was not bad. She gave a decent presentation, and provided some facts that were relevant.

What the article does not delve into are the commercial considerations too much, and the technical parts probably were not fully understood, but she is only in university. Pretty good I thought.

What's your interpretation on this report. Why are the Chinese nationals getting the most approval for the asylum process. Is this based purely on merit, based on the fact that there are far more Chinese asylum seekers per capita which the approvals simply reflect the number of applicants? Or does politics meaning geopolitics play into the equation a little bit. Essentially this tidbit can and will be used by America as part of the overall attack on the supposed political, religious (nutjobs of FLG) regressions allegedly to be happening in China.

Well most Asylum cases are of people whose visa is not getting renewed or who've entered illegally . They risk facing deportation so they apply for Asylum to continue staying there. That's why India is also there (no.3 in the list) along with other poor Lat Am nations like Honduras, Guatmela etc

There are many who work for couple of years in US get adapted to the lifestyle and culture and don't want to return to their origin nation. Its perfectly normal to do so.

China is no. 1 on the list as its easy to get Asylum as a Chinese . Just scream Commie oppression, Evil CPC & Forced Labour and you're good to go.
