That's why I find countries like Australia, Japan, South Korea and other would be chihuahuas in Europe quite retarded and delusional in their thinking, not to mention their brain dead approach with China. If I was in their shoes, I would shut my mouth, says the right thing publicly but work diligently privately against their greatest perceived threat that's China to buy time and make strategic preparation in a conflict that they're hell bent on pursuing. Make China rely on key industries and lull the country, most importantly it's businesses not invest in key industries that their own President (Xi Jinping) had been advocating for independence and development since he announced the visionary plan of MIC 2025. But due to the immense arrogance, hubris, and ignorance of the west and it's ilk they went public with a loudspeaker on their intentions to deny, disrupt, and even destroy China's rightful desire to become a highly developed economy, with advanced technology. As a result, the naive more like greedy Chinese business elites finally saw Jesus and embraced Xi Jinping's admonition and call for tech independence and as we are seeing today the Chinese are going out full tilt in ensuring that they will not be stopped in the pursuit of prosperity and reunification with the island of Taiwan.
The only anchor that holds the choleric groupings the west and it's vassals have against China is the U.S. and if unfortunately the Americans commit it's forces against China in the war for scarborough shoals in SCS and or Taiwan and loses badly then all these so-called allies would fall out of the wayside like dominoes.
Indeed. These chihuahuas are quite idiotic. The end stage of that idiocy is Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltic States. Their leaders and followers are a bigger economic and security threat to their countries than Russia itself.
My theory as to why the chihuahuas had to act loud and arrogant is because like real chihuahuas, they want to be seen as the tough dogs, protecting their owner, America. They don't have a smart strategy against China, because their master is not smart to begin with. America, especially Trump, telegraphed to the Chinese the masterplan to destroy the Chinese economy. With tariffs, export bans, etc, and finally culminating with the removal of China from the global economy.
I would have to say that all these chihuahuas: Japan, South Korea, and Australia are just racist towards China. China was meant to be cheap labor, exploitable market, exploitable people, and a backwater 3rd-world communist curiosity in perpetuity. How dare China rises above them, and then rival America, upending the world order that they currently enjoy? No, this should not be happening, but it is happening. Then when their master finally issues the order for them to attack, they gladly do so. They believed that with American leadership, their victory is assured. That is why these chihuahuas barked so loudly and confidently.
