Japan media using quotation marks in this
In order for that to happen there needs to be a state directed initiative to incentivize companies to expand globally. Korean and Japanese companies and media had to expand globally the way they did simply down to the fact that their countries being as small as they are necessitated expansion or be crushed by the weight of American companies. In some ways, China's population has become a sort of quasi Latin American resource curse where just due to having 1.4 billion people, Chinese companies can make billions on just the Chinese market alone and Nezha 2 with zero global appeal can still make over 2 billion dollars.Ofcourse its a big loss. Its not like China doesn't have a Chinese equivalent of these services such as Amazon, Google, Airbnb and so on. But Chinese companies are lacking in ambition to launch global versions of their services. They could provide the same service cheaper and take a huge chunk of the revenue from US tech companies.
By taking global market share, Chinese tech companies could have much higher market cap and thus raise wealth of Chinese citizens. They could hire more engineers in China and also raising GDP per capita in the process.
Overall, this is easy money they are missing out.
You're confusing strength with morality of conduct. That's like asking if a soldier is as strong as a rapist then why doesn't he rape?If China is a strong of a country as people say, why will they bend to weaker countries? Be like the US and force your products in.
If J-15T was actually going to attack F-15J they wouldn't get any RWR alert because J-15T would be using LPI mode, just ask Rafale how that feels.
All the usual PLA watching sources on Weibo are talking about it implying it was J-15T, for example:Do we know if it is J-15T? Pretty sure vanilla J-15 still operate from Liaoning.

A Japanese government official acknowledged that "there have been delays in export procedures for important minerals (including rare earths)," adding, "It is too early to determine whether the delays are due to intimidation or harassment from China." Another government official analyzed, "It appears that China is using rare earths to put pressure on Japan."
To be honest, I do find myself really pitying those Jai Sushis that are mocking Chinese school/university canteen meals on Twitter, all while Japanese supermarkets sell packaged meals like these.
