Japan’s Militant Past

24/05/2025 08:44 am MYT

“Prime minister Katsura Taro had to declare martial law to suppress the riots on 6 Sep 1905 and his government resigned. Japanese militarists and State Shintoism found their domestic political power greatly enhanced, which paved the way for Japanese military aggressions in China and South East Asia in the later years.”

Two weeks ago, i Capital said that Japan underwent a major transformation after Emperor Meiji assumed the throne in 1867 and started the “Meiji Restoration”. The adoption of Western technology and practices led Japan to become an aggressive, militant Westernised Asian country. Apart from industrialising her economy, Japan also emulated Western powers’ empire building game. Last week, we discussed Japan’s expansion into Korea and after the first Sino-Japanese War, Taiwan, Penghu Islands, and Liaodong Peninsula were ceded to Japan. However, the Triple Intervention forced Japan to return the Liaodong Peninsula to China which quickly fell under the control of Russia.

Tan Teng Boo has said for some time that China has the strongest economy in the world. This optimism is not based on blind trust or biased opinion, but it is after deep, thorough and comprehensive research and analysis. No other country in the world has the resources and potential that China and the Chines people have. US protectionist and China-bashing policies since 1949 will not stop China from growing and developing into a modern and prosperous civilisation.

Nvidia’s Huáng Rénxūn said that more than 50% of top AI researchers around the world are Chinese. US AI companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepMind are filled with Chinese employees working on top-end projects. Nvidia’s CEO will agree with Teng Boo’s optimism on China.

US discriminatory and harsh regulations against China will not crush the country, but make her stronger. Eventually, Chinese technology will diffuse around the world like in the last 3,000 years. Do not be distracted by temporary problems confronting the Chinese economy, rather look at her tremendous long-term potential. As Tan Teng Boo has said, the next 75 years will be even more exciting for China. i Capital has been advising subscribers to invest in Chinese stocks, which are undervalued and have tremendous upside.
