The fact you use such terms as Fascist, communist together is funny, do you know why?
But also brainwashing?
You don't really want friendship, not really. You want China to be more 1970s, or 1980s China where we were so hoping for a Japanese life style, when we can't even afford meat. A China that looks up to Japan.
Here is where we have the conflict. We will soon reclaim our title of the dominate power in Asia, you are either going to have to accept it and then be friends, or have our little conflict and then be friends. Either way, the outcome will be the same.
You had the one chance to remain the dominant power in Asia in WW2 period, and you lost it. If you can't win then, you are not winning now.
