Not just too big, they are outside of the US sphere of influence, while Japan is a client state really. We should still shame reprehensible behavior.

- mises 7y agoThey are not a client state, but may become one if we don't change things quickly. They have been an ally of America, because Amerifa projected an extremely strong influence into the Pacific post-WWII. We have had a succession of cowardly politicians afraid to stand up to others (see China's behavior in the S. China Sea, Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Iran building nukes). Both sides talk tough and refuse to act. Now we risk Iran dominating the Middle East and China becoming the world's number-one power and dominating Africa. We need to keep China down at all costs and prevent them from fully developing.
