China and Japan couldn’t be more different culturally and economically, in a blind comparison the conclusion is that the distinction between these countries is night and day. Every single aspect is different.
It’s very very clear why he chose to compare Japan and China and expect that comparison to be like dropping the mic. Like he didn’t even say why Japan is an accurate model for China.

Clearly there's some subconscious bias in the comparison. I mean you can draw parallels to any country that hit massive growth.

Not clear to me at all. Rather bizarre that you immediately jump to this conclusion and hand wave any further discussion
