I’m with China - drill baby drill. Japan’s socialism and anti-capitalistic moves of the past 20 years have reduced its moral authority in every arena. We owe them nothing, they need to adjust to the new Asia. Given a choice between an Obama America/Japan and China, all I can say is “Please pass the Rosetta Stone, Mandarin edition.”
Sorry to tale opposition to your statement. If you understand Chinese thinking AT ALL that is a rather odd statement. China is NEVER a FRIEND and will only USE OTHER STATES to advance its own goals.
Lol!
