[In Photos] Japan's Tsutaya Books Opens First Shanghai Store

(Yicai Global) Dec. 25 -- Tsutaya Books, Japan's largest bookstore chain, has opened its first outlet in Shanghai, welcomed by locals.
Each of the pre-booked 1,200 slots to visit the store at a repurposed country club called Columbia Circle were taken during the opening day yesterday and there are no more free slots for the three following days, Yicai Global learned. In October, the Japanese retailer opened its first store in China's mainland in Hangzhou.

Tsutaya Books runs almost 1,200 stores globally. One of its Tokyo outlets, Daikanyama T-Site, was once selected as one of the world's most beautiful bookshops.

What this book talk about?

It is written by Morgenthau and considered one of the founding texts of classical Realist school that emerged from the second debate in IR in the early post-WW2.

It sets up a Hobbesian view of international politics in which self-help and power maximization are the basic norms.

The views are well-challenged, such as Liberal and Constructivist schools but, it is still a fundamental text for a basic understanding of Realist theory.

Its English version in PDF is available for free online, I think.

As I know, Morgenthau was against VN war

I believe in his later years, he turned into more of a defensive realist, arguing that aggressive expansionism reduces security, not increase it, because it upsets states' conformity to established balance of power - Korean and Vietnam Wars are good cases.

The West is just like Mongol empire, they only think twice when facing a humiliating defeats like Mongol lost 3 times in VN.

They r heading themselves to the verge of collapse like Mongol now when they can't even make a medical mask during Covid.

Btw, if CN can't survive against their sanctions, then CN may collapse like during Mongol invasion.
