Asia for Asians


The question:


Who has first right to benefit from Asian resources?






Resource rich South China Sea


Europe's claim to this great wealth


is that they took it by force.  The colonial legalese

is that military power is a legitimate means of 

relieving a region's people of their inheritance. 






Dutch Crown Jewel


Where would the Netherlands be 

 

without the Dutch East Indies?

Meanwhile, the Japanese are asking themselves:


What are they doing here in the first place?






The last Dutch ruler of East Indies

 

Difficult giving up exalted status


These guys can't quite imagine what is soon to head their way.






Plan of Attack






Asia for Asians!


Not quite.


Turns out Japan's new economic society was, in fact,

more of the colonial same, but with Japanese flair.







2,000 year old China dynasty ends
