okay I apologize I misunderstood, you had posted an anti america, pro asia video.
That is not a pro Asia or Anti American Video. That is real politik.
That is explaining the similarities or perhaps lack thereof between the Japanese rise in the mid 70s to early 90s in economical prowess and that of the Chinese and how the current economical powerhouse which is the USA deals with them.
And long story short, the United States didn't build Asia back or help Asian countries because of kindness or being a noble superpower. Although suffice to say there are elements of being compassionate.
They build Asia up because
1. Lesson learnt in WW2 .... Pearl Harbour..
2. Communist Threat after WW2 by Soviets , North Korea and China
3. In South East Asia..the Straits of Malacca and trading Routes.
4. Trading partners and Allies i.e Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand , Indonesia , Taiwan, Japan , South Korea, Hong Kong
5. Trading partners and close allies down south... Australia and New Zealand
6. Potentially spreading American or Western Democracy via the countries mention above to Communist Controlled Territories via the modernization and wealth of those countries mentioned above, because those communist countries are starving therefore hoping that a regime change or revolution will occur.
Island Chain Strategy to contain and prevent Communist threat from reaching America Mainland.
The above mention is a
Coherent and strategically correct plan that the USA employed at that period.
