? Discussion / Reflection / Thought

Mutual understanding between the Western and Eastern worlds might begin with detailed comparisons. We can consider the following questions

Development and Evolution of Empires

N. American Empire
Trends, and Transformation

1. There is an existing imperial core within the “Empire-breeding Belt”
2. Will land-power politics ultimately suppress sea-power politics?
3. Would the N. American Empire be willing to share power with a land-power empire?
4. What is the significance of Greenland to an American land-power empire?
5. Can USA lead the next generation of imperial order?

European Empires
Confusion, Loss, and Pain

1. The European core is far from the “Empire-breeding Belt”
2. It has officially entered a 200-year “decline cycle”
3. Social, Productive, and Wealth Logics Hinder Europe’s Resurgence.
4. 2022 marks a historic turning point for Europe—its descent into imperial colonial status; the “Ukrainian Trench” will work in a long-term

East Asian Empires
Impact, Unity, and Glory

1. The historical forces calling for a new order.
2. Land power rising, while sea power declining; regionalization becomes the dominant political trend.
3. Land-power empires dominates human imperial history, while Sea-power empires work shortly.
4. Empires exist forever. East Asian and West Asian empires have dominated the history of human empires

Crazy Ye’s Commentary on N. American Empire

N. American Empire continues to evolve until a dominant national identity emerges. Certain politicians play significant roles in this process

The United States is a continuation of the European Empire. Essentially, it is an indispensable part of the European Empire. Later, it gradually evolved into the core of the European Empire. The imperial core of the Americas will continue to evolve. Localization will become the cornerstone of the American Empire’s enduring existence. The year 2022 marks the historic moment when the N. American Empire formally declared its separation from its European motherland.

Crazy Ye’s Commentary on the Next Generation of Imperial Order

Land-Power Empires:

Land-power empires have dominated the central axis of human imperial history. Sea-power empires are merely transient or serve as temporary substitutes.
(Empire-breeding Belt: Diagram by Ye Qiquan, from pppnet.net)

Land-Power Empires:

Land-power politics has already established the power base to dominate the world order.
(Range: Chinese anti-ship weapon VS U.S. ship-launched weapon. Chart by Ye Qiquan, from pppnet.net)

The decline of maritime politics is a historical trend.

The decline of sea-based power is both a reality and a historical inevitability. (Ranges: China’s acting missiles VS USA acting medium- and short-range missiles: Chart by Ye Qiquan, from pppnet.net)

The US and China will jointly determine the next imperial order.

The next-generation imperial order may primarily take four forms
(Group War Strength: USA alliance VS Chinese alliance in a hypothetical East Asian war. Chart by Ye Qiquan. Source: pppnet.net)

“Maritime Power Empire”

Maritime power empires are both easy to expand and easy to collapse

"Land-Power Empires"

Land-power empires are difficult to expand, yet their imperial foundations are also difficult to completely destroy.

“Philosophical Logic”

The philosophical logic of the Chinese Empire makes it difficult to establish a global imperial order.

“Conflict”

Land-power empires struggle to establish a global order; sea-power empires struggle to resist land-power advantages in localized conflicts.

“Weapon Effective Range”

Composed of three factors: “Range,” “Destructive Effect,” and “Economic Efficiency.”

“Weapon Effective Range”

It is “Weapon Effective Range” that defines the “Dominant Weapon on the battlefield” across different eras of military technology.

Crazy Ye’s Thought on War

The Nature of War ​


The Universal Attributes of War

Universality refers to the state of war:

It is not exclusive to humans, but is shared by all living beings within the Earth’s ecosystem.

Universality also indicates that competition for ecological niches among biological populations within the Earth’s ecosystem is a universal and ongoing state.

Minor differences in competitive ability will generate enormous subsequent impacts at the group level and throughout the course of history.

The Biological Attributes of War

The Biological Attributes of War :

This refers to the fact that the capacity for war is embedded in the DNA of all living organisms (including humans) as an individual trait, ready to be activated at any time.

At the group level, the slight “unique traits” of individuals converge with the “uniformity” of the group. Under the pressure of war, the group’s collective attributes are activated or enhanced. “Altruistic” and “selfish” attributes fuse under the influence of these activated group attributes.

The economic attributes of war

War is an eternal theme in the process of biological evolution. Economic efficiency serves as the sole guiding principle and central axis of the war process.

The economic attributes of war consist of three components.

Economic objectives drive the war process.
Economic resources dominate the war process.
The outcome of war is determined by economic adjudication.

The Political and Philosophical Attributes of War

Human warfare possesses a unique attribute not found in warfare among other species: its philosophical and political nature.

It means that war is not the only means to survive for humans. Humans possess the “ability to actively evade and avoid war.” This is the distinctive attribute of human warfare.

The logic of wealth, economics, society, and war, as well as the intertwining of these factors, can all be categorized into the philosophical and political attributes of war.

The Universal Attributes of War

War is a shared attribute of all living things within the Earth's ecosystem. Human warfare primarily occurs in the course of competition with other biological populations, rather than in internal human conflicts. This pattern will likely continue in the future.

From a historical perspective, humanity’s evolutionary journey has been extremely arduous. In the future, even more brutal and perilous wars will arise from competition between humans and other biological groups or “pseudo-biological groups.”

Humankind cannot cease to maintain, cultivate, and evolve its competitive capabilities. Humankind cannot reject war, nor can it automatically weaken its own competitive (warfare) capabilities.

The Biological Attributes of War

The Biological Attributes of War :

War is a biological capability. It is a capacity shared by all living beings to achieve the continuous evolution and reproduction of their species by strengthening their own competitive capabilities.

The capacity for war has become a form of DNA memory, recorded in the biological DNA database. The attributes of war are not only inherited and passed down at the individual level but are also continuously developed and evolved at the group level.

The economic attributes of war

Single-celled organisms and plants utilize intelligent information perception and computational systems to identify the optimal integrated solution for individual survival and population reproduction.

Animals integrate calculations of food pressure and the costs of warfare to select their ecological niche within a population.

Humans relentlessly pursue the greatest possible range for their weapons as a goal. In actual warfare, humans achieve victory by utilizing the optimal effective range. Human warfare is, in essence, a competition centered on economic power. Ultimately, the group that wins the economic competition wins the war.

The Political and Philosophical Attributes of War

Philosophically, humans are the only organisms in the Earth’s ecosystem that possess both animal and plant attributes.

Humans have escaped the sole path that other animals must rely upon—war and plunder—to sustain individual survival and group reproduction. Agricultural technology is the foundation upon which humanity has escaped war. From this point forward, humans can reflect on war, pursue war, and evade war.
War is also a factor that establishes the structural model of human society, sustains the impulse for evolution, and prevents the degeneration of human competitive capabilities.

Crazy Ye’s Commentary on Taiwan

The Significance of Taiwan to East Asian Empires

China must view Taiwan and Japan from this perspective. The Japanese, in turn, should closely align their understanding of mainland China, Taiwan, and Japan itself with this perspective. This is the optimal path for Japan to resolve its century-old dilemma.

MetaPolitica Forum

The best approach to understanding military issues is through economic and political perspectives. The best approach to deeply understanding political issues is through a philosophical perspective.

However, philosophy has entered a stage where it needs to be saved. The current state of philosophy is such that it cannot save humanity—it cannot even save itself.

Tiny number of great political figures have, in their spare time, cast their light upon the realm of philosophy, causing it to briefly shine with dazzling brilliance. With the passing of these great political figures, philosophy has once again fallen into obscurity.

Before philosophy can achieve its grand goal of saving humanity, it must first save itself.

Could Crazy Ye’s Philosophy as MetaPolitica (Philosophy of Knowledge and Method) be the remedy?

Does philosophy require a well-defined disciplinary structure? Or, to put it another way, a disciplinary framework?

This is Ye Qiquan’s personal blog. Ye Qiquan is known to his friends as “Crazy Ye.” He is renowned for making outrageous political predictions. His major political forecasts often run counter to—or are even completely at odds with—those of professional politicians, political forecasting agencies, national intelligence agencies, news organizations, and prominent political commentators. Unfortunately, his anti-establishment, anti-institutional, and anti-expert political predictions are frequently validated by the course of history.
As early as 2003, 2014, and 2019, he repeatedly warned that the UK’s approach to Hong Kong affairs “did not meet the strategic standards expected of a long-established empire.” This could lead to the UK losing its political presence and intelligence base in Hong Kong before 2047. No one wanted to hear it, and no one wanted to believe it. In this political prediction and foresight, he effectively outsmarted the entire intelligence community, diplomatic corps, and government agencies of both the United States and the United Kingdom.
In his assessment that Xi Jinping was a hard-line politician, he outpaced the collective political forecasting institutions and experts of the West by at least six years. He also issued an early warning in March 2025—when Xi Jinping was at the peak of his power—that Xi might face significant risks.
Regarding Hu Jintao’s complete failure, he made a clear assessment at least 10 years in advance (before the end of Hu’s term). In a letter submitted to Chinese diplomats in September 2025, at a time when China was in political turmoil, he even explicitly stated that “in complex situations, one cannot rely on Hu Jintao to achieve success.”
In September 2025, his assessment of China’s political situation was that “all three political forces in China face complex dilemmas.” “The faction holding the moral high ground, the military, and other political forces with different backgrounds” all faced serious difficulties. They all needed to find “deep, comprehensive, and complex entry and exit points.” In January 2026, he reiterated that all three factions in China needed to find complex, in-depth, and difficult-to-deconstruct cooperative solutions to save themselves. None of the three factions had completely perished, nor had any clearly and definitively survived.

In fact, it was the war in Ukraine that revived “Crazy Ye.” Because of this war, he became convinced that his political talent far surpassed that of the world’s major politicians and national leaders. When the war was just two, three, and four months old, he put forward a series of political predictions. These major predictions have been gradually validated by the course of the war over nearly four years. Had the relevant nations heeded his predictions, the European region could have saved at least hundreds of billions of dollars in wasted expenditures.

“Crazy Ye’s” shortcomings are evident. He cannot react swiftly to current events because he has no access to internal information sources. Some of his long-term predictions also conflict with his own inferred scenarios in terms of details. However, it is precisely this approach to thinking—one that does not rely on internal information sources—that ultimately allows him to outperform numerous national government agencies, intelligence services, and major political think tanks in political forecasting and long-term predictions.
