Western Pacific Geopolitics

To the Chinese,
Europeans were considered
Dangerous & barbaric.

To the Japanese,
Europeans were considered
Curiousities and exotic.

To the Europeans,
Asians were considered
Backward and despotic.

Then there's Hey Diddle-Diddle
Okinawa & The Ryukyus
Caught in the middle...

Mix this all together,
And what do you get?
An intractible mess
Which we haven't solved yet...
