The thing a lot of ppl don't seem to understand about this, is that the people I'm talking about covertly despise America and the West. They have covert belief in white racial superiority but are deeply upset with the condition of the West, both its condition and culture. /
Noah Smith for example, in private despises America and thinks it's a decaying shit hole (he'll tell you this). And they covet the relative sophistication and order of East Asia. But they still think Asians are an inferior race, and China's poverty + ugliness is/was proof. /
Japan in particular can be deployed to salvage their sense of white superiority, because of its subordinated political status to America + racial purity. They believe Japan gives them an idea of what America would be like, had it not been polluted by liberal degeneracy and /
inferior races through mindless immigration policies and the loss of confidence by whites in their inherently dominant position over America. Japan to them is actually proof of white superiority had whites kept America racially pure and culturally homogenous, IF it remained /
a wealthier and more developed country than China. Now that the situation has changed, they are coming up with new theories to buttress their belief in a white superiority that is hidden by the reality of the West esp America. Thus, China steals, lies, and cheats etc...
