All great nations went through great pain and ruthlessness before greatness. China had their moment with Chairman Mao, Japan with their Imperialism and crazed emperors, the West with numerous wars that annihilated millions. The Same goes for S Korea, Singapore, Israel, Brazil, South Africa.
I always like it when the GoK looks tough on anything, not being shoved around like small girls. Some of the countries you've mentioned like SA or Brazil or Singapore ... have never been great. Greatness goes deep to the individuals you appear to hate and distrust. A government that rules by kiboko can never be great. China appears to have been great at some time, and mostly when it was confined to itself. But now with expanding empire it seems to be losing all hope for greatness. Greatness is relative and can entail any parameter. Mine is economic greatness & growth, and seemingly good governance. We can do a 'truce' for now.Ni Furahiday wakati wa 'yetu' kubomoa 'yangu/yao'.
