The United States seems to be addicted to beating Japan.
Far away, in order to end World War II, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, turning Hiroshima and Nagasaki into ruins.
In the mid-1980s, during the period when trade tensions between the two countries were at their highest, Toshiba of Japan exported lathes to the Soviet Union. The United States took this opportunity to criticize Japan, with politicians openly destroying Japanese goods in front of the U.S. Congress.
Currently, American politicians are focusing their attention on China, but in the end, it is Japan that suffers losses.
On July 8th, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee wanted to make a big splash with her China-related remarks in her latest video for the gubernatorial race.
This Republican 'Tea Party' representative sat in a Chinese restaurant and asked the camera: How tough do I really want to be towards China? Here’s a hint.
As she said this, she crushed the fortune cookie in front of her with force. The background music proclaimed: She will cooperate with President Trump to counter China.
Her words were deeply ingrained in her bones.
As an extreme conservative, she claims to carry a gun at all times. She opposes abortion and diversity, and has participated in the “Turning Point USA” movement. The leader of that organization is Charlie Kirk, the ally of Trump who was killed by a gunshot.
Towards China, it has always been vicious.
Six years ago, Blackburn posted on social media that China has a history of 5,000 years of deception and theft. Another politician with only the memories of fish. Former Secretary of State Pompeo has long recognized this: we lie, deceive, and steal.
Following the infamous trip of former House Speaker Pelosi to Taiwan, Blakeborn went to Taiwan Province of China in August 2022 and presented his "resume" to former leader Tsai Ing-wen.
In fact, her various absurd actions are also considered a joke by netizens.
Broken things, invented in America, produced in America, originating from Japanese food, sent a strong signal to China… It's really amazing
The so-called "lucky biscuit" is a popular dessert in Chinese restaurants in North America. It is not a traditional Chinese food; its origin is actually related to Japanese immigrants. During World War II, Japanese Americans were detained in the United States, and Chinese people took over the production of this dessert, gradually making it closely associated with Chinese restaurants.
The feature is that the cookie contains a note with a motto, prophecy, or blessing.
In the campaign video, a shot was taken of this note, which read: Martha Blackburn will rise up to defend the land of Tennessee against China.
What's more interesting is that Lucky Cookies tried to conquer the Chinese market in the 90s. Unfortunately, they failed due to being 'too Americanized'. I believe most Chinese people have never seen any of these products in reality.
There were also netizens who responded that Trump is supposed to welcome Chinese students—who told her that?
It was also these past two days that Benny Johnson, a conservative commentator from the United States, criticized Europe for being ungrateful. He compared Europe to Japan, which had been bombed by the United States, and praised the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The relationship between the United States and Japan is truly one of "stricious parental roles."
Alright, slaps are affectionate, curses are love. If pinching cookies isn’t enough, then you can also kick with your feet!
