I thought the chinese communist party wasn't really a thing until the 20s when the warlord period had already started?

It was founded in 1921 in Shanghai in a boat, with 20 people including Mao. The 2nd congress was held in Guangzhou.

it's a bit cleverer than that - what usually happens is that American positions are laundered through local academics and pundits: you'll have someone commenting on the dangers of the "Chinese maritime militia swarming the West Philippine Sea" and he's a lecturer from a local university but he was educated in Virginia and he's reading off satellite photos releases by CSIS

the big south korean professor in south korea right now pushing the idea of the chinese evilly violating south korean copyrights by pirating south korean dramas with no legal domestic source because netflix bought the worldwide rights and they dont operate in china used to be a big antijapan nationalist when that was more fashionable so as far as i can tell those guys are more useful idiots than they are operating out of any kind of organized playbook

The funny thing is, isnt that exactly what happens in England you migbt own your house but the land is.still technically owned by a literal lord

Not all the time. Most of the time it's split between "leasehold" and "freehold" the latter gives you full ownership of the land your house sits on, apparently down to the earth's core in most areas. However in County Durham you have full ownership but any mineral wealth you find below 6ft is technically owned by the church of England.

Yellen warned Japan not to try to sell their US bond to defend the Yen. But all Japan has in foreign reserve are US Bond (93%), they got nothing to work with. Yen is hosed.
