Japan should dominate China

The Japanese learnt lots of things from writing system to Buddhism from Chinese during Tang Dynasty in which China was one of the world's most powerful nations along with Frankish Kingdom,Byzantine Empire and Arab Empire.

Both the Japanese and Chinese had dark ages from 17th to 19th centuries thanks to the respective incompetence of Manchu Empire and Tokugawa Shogunate.However the Japanese had Meiji Restoration while the Chinese were still arrogant and thought that China was the center of the world.The Japanese Empire quickly catched up and surpassed the Qing Empire in only 20 years.Japan defeated China in numerous battles in both land and sea.Huge portion of China became the Japanese colonies and this caused millions of Chinese had at least one Japanese grandfather.I know that many of you in this Subreddit are direct descendants of the Japanese colonizers,thus you guys call yourselves 'Ronin' .By the way,Xi Jinping 's 19th grandfather was the shogun of Japan,thus his parents named him 'Jinping' which sounds like 'Japan'.

The Japanese sacked Nanjing,the captal of China,in 1937.The eastern part of China was conquered by Japan,it was the golden age of the development in economy and the improvement of the standards of living among Chinese people.The Japanese proved that they were far better than the Chinese in terms of administering and modernize a country with 400 million population.

Unfortunately,the Japanese idiotically attacked the US and lost everything they gained in decades of war.Luckily Japan became the US ally in Asia and was able to rebuilt itself from the ruins.

China,the winner in WW2,taken control by the communists who were ways far war than the Japanese.Millions of Chinese died of various atrocities done by the CCP.Meanwhile the Japanese has been enjoying democracy since 1946,and they got what their fathers and grandfathers dreamed about – the equal high standard of living as the UK and France.

Japan became one of the richest countries in the world in 1960s and hosted the Tokyo Olympics in 1964.Meanwhile,millions of Chinese were tortured by starvation and the Cultural Revolution.

The gap in development between Japan and China is still very explicit.

1.The life expenctancy in Japan is 83,while it is 65－70 in China.

2.The average IQ in Japan is 106,while that is only 60 in China.

3.The Japanese are proud of the quality of their products while the Chinese are ashamed of.

4.Japan is one of the safest places in the world.In contrast,China is one of the most dangerous one.

5.The Japanese have one of the most advanced AI in the world,the robots are expected to replace humans in some dirty and dangerous works within 10 years.While millions of Chinese die yearly as slave labors with minimum salary and the harshest treatment.
