Previously, we said that Japan’s economic rise was because the United States fought the Korean War, and suddenly Japan became a logistics base.
South Korea’s economic rise was also because the United States handed it a meal.
In a situation where we were lagging behind, saying this might make us feel better—after all, Japan and South Korea didn’t rely on themselves; they relied on the United States handing them a meal.
But then, after the United States fought the Vietnam War for 10 years, why didn’t the Philippines seize this opportunity?
All the reasons are pinned on the United States—turning the United States into a man who, in this world, has to take the blame for everything.
I really don’t like this kind of tone.
Under this logic, some remarks from the liberal camp are also arguably correct: stretch out to the United States, and you become developed; shut your legs toward the United States, and you fall behind.
Less of a delicate little-goddess mindset—I can’t stand it right now. Especially for a country as large as China, it should be that our own importance comes first.$TLM
