Weak nations have no justice, weak nations have no diplomacy.
A mere ten words speak volumes about the truth of the international community. The diplomat who uttered this world-shaking maxim once believed in fairness and justice, only to be brutally disillusioned, end up smeared with the epithet "traitor to the nation," and finally see through the vanity of the secular world to become a monk. In the last days of his life, he summarized the reality of international diplomacy using his entire life experience.
The sole supreme principle of the international community has always been the jungle law of the survival of the fittest, where fairness and justice are but fig leaves to achieve one's ends. It is only the weak who believe and rely on such an insignificant fig leaf, while the powerful—especially those who make the rules of the international order—are responsible for setting standards, defining what is fairness, and what is justice.
