Less power and prejudice

If Western countries embraced the concept of neisheng waiwang it would help them overcome their insecurities

The United States is a perfect example of qiang buneng an - "all powerful, but still insecure".

It emerged from the end of the Cold War as the undisputed global superpower. Yet its military spending is still almost as much as the rest of the world combined. And even though it is no longer engaged in a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, it maintains an arsenal of nearly 1,800 active nuclear weapons, with another 2,900 nuclear weapons in reserve. These are backed up by 3,500 others that have been retired but not yet dismantled, which means they can be re-deployed, if necessary.
