      remember this was from 1970s but remain largely relevant and correct except some historical and economic contextual differences. Crux is for us to remember that USA and the West allowed and help Red china to grow economically (e.g. providing tech know how , open up markets, allowed china to join WTO etc) to exceed japan (-- largely helped via china's massive populations size as world manufactory factory ) , BUT once if West and USA largely decouple or de-risk from Commie China, the economic might of China of late 2010s/ early 2020s WILL BE NO MORE.
      while Japan's context mentioned here remain largely the SAME and japan is now walking out of their economic slowdown since late 1990s.
      oh... and 1 more key difference, Russia then was part of the gigantic "USSR" , which ukraine and 10 plus more states were part of all, which allowed USSR to be much more capable in allocating and sharing resources and tech capabilities amongst the member states but this is NO MORE, Russia while still large , is no match in all the scary massive weapons and resources (including HUMAN TALENT ) capabilities of USSR soviet Union

We had the german and japanese miracles in the post war years and beyond but without something for people to stand behind and work towards, the countries will always fizzle out.
