Told yez before - the Manifest Destiny of the United States to move Westwards, and the Divine Mission of the Japanese to create an economic sphere in their own region - lead to what has been called The Second Hundred Years War.
The competition for economic dominance in the Asian Pacific Basin (as opposed to the Asian Pacific Region which I have explained to yez all before), went through the phase of direct military confrontation as the way to seize market share (WW II in The Pacific) which the Japanese lost, then moved on to another phase of direct economic competition - which the Japanese won, utilising their social structure and the consequent 'cheap labour' (a far more complex issue than that.. but one or two steps at a time for youse lot)....
You could see that - with the introduction into the massive US car industry of such things as the imported and re-badged Mazdas and Toyotas. You saw the same thing here.
(wake up - I'm trying to teach youse ignoramuses)....
NOW - the economic competition has degenerated into primarily China, as opposed to the US - a contest in which (the US) initially, under the divine guidance of its business and corporate 'leaders' - felt that their best 'future direction for the company' lay in developing cheaper (than their homegrown LMAO) production costs, by generating massive industrial output in... you guessed it - CHINA! (with its massive population and its 'low'* production costs)......
NOW - we see the generation of Great Wall spin-offs - of TOYOTA AND SO FORTH VEHICLES - all now built on licence from Japan BY CHINA - and now JAPAN is enduring the same malaise as that which the West inflicted upon itself when it permitted 'cheap' offshore labour to build 'cheap' vehicles (etc).
NOW - we also see that the Chinese emerging domination of the world markets - using its cheap labour and its totally controlled economy run by and for the benefit of the current ruling class there - what I call the New Mandarins - IS NOW BEGINNING TO SUFFER GREATLY FROM THE DOWNTURN IN THE 'GLOBAL ECONOMY'!
So - what are we left with, Grasshoppers?
Let me tell you in plain English......
We are left with a China that now has the 'need' to ensure and secure the never-ending profits of its current ruling class of New Mandarins on the one hand (and those New Mandarins have ABSOLUTE control over the military, the courts, and everything else, including the organs of 'dissidents' - a category that includes Tibetan monks - which it sells to foreigners seeking a transplant) - and on the other hand, we have those nations, such as the United States and even (gasps) Australia** and even (gasps twice) JAPAN - desperately struggling to (firstly) stay alive and afloat , and then (secondly) compete on the totally un-level playing field THEY THEMSELVES HAVE CREATED IN THEIR UNTHINKING PURSUIT OF PROFIT FOR THE FEW - for markets and market share.
The inevitable outcome is that China and the United States will go to war - Japan will be an Ally of the United States, as will everyone else.... including those who have progressively been excluded (Britain/France etc) from trading in the Asian Pacific Region (as opposed to the geographical area called the 'Asian Pacific Basin)... for the same old as occurred in the Pacific in WWII - markets and market share.
And so it goes...... and goes and goes.... and after China is vanquished, it will re-build like Hitler's Germany, with a huge chip on it shoulder for generations.... and so it goes.... and goes....
As for Russia - the sabre-rattling it to ensure that Vlad knows which side he's on..... Russia cannot engage in the Third Hundred Years War due to lack of production capability... so he is being warned to stay out of it!
* There is no such thing as a 'low production cost' when, by employing that lower paid labour force, you are adversely affecting the economy of, not only your corporation, but the nation in which your corporation thrives, and in which it simultaneously seeks to destroy its own market's ability to purchase its product, while ensuring that it cannot sell that product to its new work force - who simply cannot afford it. The effect on your own economy is sufficient to make it mandatory that governments of the West (and other First World Nations) ensure that their corporations do NOT stray from the reservation and, in doing so, destroy themselves and their nation, and lead us all into....... World War III (followed by IV).
**gasps three times - AUSTRALIA? Well ........... I NEVER!
