      >In a [Monday press conference](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-14/cliffs-ceo-rips-evil-japan-and-doubles-down-on-america-first), Goncalves said he was prepared to offer a new bid for U.S. Steel. But he also unloaded fierce criticism of Japan, a U.S. ally. “China is bad, China is evil, China is horrible, but Japan is worse, Japan is a lot worse,” he said.

      >“Japan is evil. Japan taught China a lot of things.” Goncalves said. “Japan taught China how to dump, how to have overcapacity, how to overproduce.”

      “You did not learn anything since 1945,” [he said](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/13/cleveland-cliffs-ceo-attacks-japan-as-he-reiterates-interest-in-acquiring-us-steel.html). “You did not learn how good we are, how gracious we are, how magnanimous we are, how forgiving we are.”

      What on earth is this? Do people really hate Japan this much?

      I don’t really know how to react to this statement from them, but it just confirms my priors that people are insane and live in a totally different reality. To anyone with any sense of reality, Japan from 45 and today are a night and day difference. Either this guy is racist to the point its comedically stupid, or a lot of people arent aware Japan isnt an empire anymore
