the moment that saved humanity
>the meeting was known in Japan as the "Niksonu Shokku">Japanese prime minister, Sato Eisaku, after being informed, had been in tears>"I have done everything the Americans have asked. But they have let me down
>>18487394Lol the japanese are so stupid they sort of deserve this betrayal, it is so obvious americans were never their friends and the nukes should be an obvious reason to hate america forever but they don't (only a really small number of japs are self aware like the author Miyazaki), such a stupid people that they believe their oppressors are their friends don't deserve sympathy
>>18487394>I consent >I consent > I don't
>>18487417Nations across Europe and Asia had been trying to normalize relations with PRC for 20 years and America kept throwing tantrums about it and then all of a sudden Nixon was on TV shaking hands with Mao.
>>18487422>America doesn't want other countries aligning with China/the Eastern Bloc but wants China to align with them against the USSR>NOO THIS IS EBIN HYPOCRISY
>>18487432Most of the courting of China was by non-aligned nations hoping to get China to put third worldism over cold war power blocs
fixed for accuracy
>>18487447>hoping to get China to put third worldism over cold war power blocsYeah it's kinda hard to claim that when almost ever major socialist movement and revolution was backed by the Chinese
>>18487394well, japanese like to be against the world and get nuked in the process, integrating China was a sound plan, otherwise the world would be dealing with North Korea with the size of a continent
>>18487270>>18487455Why did Americans abandon their pro-capitalist allies?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Paracel_Islands
>>18487693progressives stabbed nixon in the back and they are crypto-socialists, little did they know it was too little too late and nixon had already converted china to capitalism, so they switched to their next plan, bioleninism
>>18487693Nixon agreed to withdraw from Vietnam and to withdraw support from Taiwan. He knew Vietnam was a lost cause by then and he needed China as a balance to USSR over little Taiwan. Obviously the states has ultimately continued to maintain some level of protection over Taiwan. I'm not sure how that played out.
>>18487644Japan quickly switched prime minister and then met with Mao themselves and became China's greatest partner for many years. China rebuilt their economy mostly on Japanese and German technology.
>>18487394Japs deserve to go extinct, what a pathetic people
>>18487394The only reason America preserved Japan was to use it as a staging ground in case of a hypothetical war in the region against the commies. It was never meant to be a junior partner or respected sovereign.Where do these retards get this idea that they can call the shots after they lost a war? China is a regional hegemon. Japan is not.
>>18487767>>18487405>>18487417You from a shithole country
It was because of this meeting that MLK and RFK were murdered
>>18487405Why hate America and not the military junta who led Japan to its destruction.
>>18487644>North Korea with the size of a continentIt so fascinating to me that for decades a country as large as China was an international black hole.
