Most people growing up in China internalize the message that if China is not strong economically and militarily, it will just be bullied just like it was before.

China as an emergent country level entity sees many others as hypocritical rapists asking to be forgiven while not admitting to the rape.

A country usually is a feminine spirit. But sexual exploitation defiles it, adding too much yang to the yin. A “slut” tries to bed as many men as possible, a yang mental framework of dominance.

Similarly, a country can become a giant dick despite being feminine in nature. The “vessel” aspect is lost (gaia, ships, countries are feminine) and the ship becomes a spear.

A vessel that becomes a spear seeks self-annihilation because forging itself into a weapon means it has to ram itself into others as an existential need.

May as well continue the sexual metaphors in this side thread: An entity is feminine to the extent that is is bolstered by the masculine. When yang is raped, unlike yin, it becomes less masculine b/c it is forced into a ‘bottom’ role.

Weak yang creates exploitable yin. E.g. the “asian bride” trope. This has some other manifestations in popular culture:

Weak yang often requires something else as a cope. More money, bigger car/house/brain, etc...
