It is true that the brutal US nuking of the Japanese enabled CCP to seize power across Mainland China as Japanese occupying forces were swiftly evacuated leaving a power vacuum that the CCP filled. Then the US taking over from the brutal Japanese occupying forces in Korea and their advance north toward Mainland China helped China unite against the threat of US invasion. But that is all beside the point- that since De, China has freed 600 Million Chinese from poverty and today Chinese enjoy steadily improving security and continuing economic growth. China now controls the rare earths essential to the US Imperialist military and so China now stands in a strong position to reverse the 500 years of western imperialism that has blighted most nations and cultures since the 15th century. US militarism and imperialism faces paralysis. A new world order is evolving....shaped by Chinese economic strength and dominance over strategic supply chains and commodities. The Chinese mixed economy with state direction of capital toward strategic infrastructure, skills, technology, logistics and energy supply has beaten the wests neoliberal financialised crony capitalism. Now China increasingly decides the direction of global capital, institutions and protocols while US imperialism is in retreat and the petrodollar exceptional privilege looks increasingly unstable, nonviable and insolvent. Trump is belatedly and desperately implementing state capitalism in response to and copying Chinas success but it is probably be too little too late. The jaws of insolvency increasingly close upon the decadent US empire and its decaying power projection capacity. Good government is a major factor in the wealth of nations.

Oh yeah, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, they all look very blighted. North Korea is the future the world wants.
Japan, Taiwan, South Korea are all monetarily and militarily subservient tribute states to the US. Their sovereignty is severely impaired. Today however most of their productive supply chains are enmeshed with China, not the US. Chinas mercantile success derives substantial strategic leverage...without firing a single shot. China has crippled the US military industrial complex with its acquisition of near monopoly over rare earths supply chains...without firing a single shot. Japan, Taiwan and S.Korea increasingly look to China for profitable trade, not the increasingly dysfunctional and insolvent US. Good government is a major factor in the wealth of nations.
China has crippled the US military industrial complex with its acquisition of near monopoly over rare earths supply chains.
Yeah no one can dig a hole unless there's a government forcing them to dig it. Sure.
It is the refining of rare earths that is the challenge. Explaining this to you seems to require ongoing repetition...
China has spent 3-4 decades developing a rare earths refining industry that is more competitive than all others and so nearly all others closed down - the west mostly lost the ability to refine its own rare earths.
Now USA cannot fight a war of any scale without Chinas approval.
China maintains its embargo on any rare earths being exported where they could end up in military applications.
The US military is crippled for at least a decade. So much for your free markets fixes everything Libertarian dogma - your ideological blindness to reality just cost you your global hegemony.

Since the communist-sympathizing Truman regime dropped nukes on them.
