it is called "establishing ownership".
Once their identity is consolidated that way,
then they can enforce their certain-in-their-own-unconscious ownership of Asia, through any violence necessary.
You can see equivalent self-dishonesty in the West, & you can see it in Modi's delusion that Russia is going to help them against China, even through Russia is financially now a vassal-state of China...
Once the economy guts the Democrats in the US, losing them the 2024 election, & Trump guts NATO, backs Russia & Saudi Arabia,
what is going to protect Asia from China's smashing it like they did Tibet?
7 years from Trump's coronation ( in 2025 ) is all Asia has left, it seems.
Establishing ownership is fundamental to bullying, btw: rodents do it, sneaking into places at night, so that they feel righteous when fighting for "their" new territory during the day...
I hadn't understood that bullying had both a yin/molesting/violating phase & a yang/overt-bullying phase until rodents taught me how it's done..
The governments who push privacy-violating laws & systems, then later stomp civil-rights, they are demonstrating exactly the same Pattern.
The religions who push for "some" control of everybody's life, relentlessly pushing for "a little more" authority, then once a tipping-point is crossed, suddenly they can switch from yin-bullying to yang-bullying .. same thing.
It's a really common pattern throughout human history, lately...
