A non-Trump/Biden political thought. Anybody feel like the parallels between early 20th centuryJapan and today’s China are becoming uncanny? Thoughts on risks of it developing the same way?

I hadnt heard this theory so I dont have an opinion lol

No there are a lot of difference. China is trying to expand its influence, but it’s mostly using its economic might rather than military conquest.

Japan was in a far more precarious position and reacted aggressively back then as it was surrounded by colonies and the US (see the Hull note on Wikipedia).

China on the other hand isn’t really facing an existential threat. It’s rivals in Asia (India, Japan, Vietnam, S. Korea) are also huge trading partners.

Educate us on how they are similar.

I’m going to take that as a “not similar” since I doubt you genuinely want me to type up a textbook

Don’t think they will develop the same. Japan tried to fit in with the European powers but discovered they’d never be part of the club. China has always seen itself as standing on its own.

At the turn of the century Japan was a rapidly modernizing nation. Now its in a state of stasis, potentially decining slowly

China on the other hand was an empire falling behind. Now its a nation catching up the the number one power.

Unless I am missing something they almost seem like in opposite ends of the spectrum.

Interested to widen my Deloitte Cyber network to get my resume in front of a human, since ATS has no vision or imagination. If you're willing to connect, please DM. So far, made it several interview rounds into roles with EY and Accenture. Optimistic, but want to be as proactive as possible. Thanks!

Why are potential business happenings by a candidate’s kid disqualifying but (gestures wildly) for the other candidate not for TSers? Going to your resort, conducting federal business at your property, having foreign officials stay, not doing a blind trust, being granted trademarks/land deals in other countries, promoting your products/books in office, calling out other companies? Stop pretending you care or advocate for anything good/true.

Only sentence that matters... not a single Republican objecting to the election results is objecting to the victory they won on exactly the same day on exactly the same ballots.
