The younger generations in Japan are different from the old generation. Japan were under the Marshall plan and rebuilt from the ashes and reached economic success in the 80s.  It was too much for the Anglosphere and was put down like a dog.  Its economy has been stagnating since the 90s.  It is seeing more negative growth in this decade.  Birthrate declining.  The Bushido code is no longer in existence.  The Emperor is just a figure head. The old generation leaders are all dying off.  T

The rest of the world who were forced to appease the Anglosphere with promises of riches like the West and over time, just as messed up and happy with leftover crumbs.

The ones blessed with natural resources like Venezuela and Iran went against it and got blocked.

China played it well to this point.  I think in a short while, it can be more transparent. It can be a Singapore type of democracy in the near future.  Democracy needs money.  Without money it is just mob-rule.  The Sino-Russo alliance is just not sustainable.  Russia is going bankrupt.
