Donald Trump has been officially declared a loser.

Yep, and here is the clincher-- Japan is now expanding its military presence into the seas around it, and contesting islands claimed by Korea and China.  Oh yeah. . . and the whaling.  

That is a different story.  To be respectful a nation need not yield whenever someone else claims territory it actually controls.   If it does this pretty soon its territory will dwindle down to nothing.

This is not the behavior of a nation / people who are deeply respectful of anything or anyone so long as they can get away with it.

One might just as validly make the same point with respect to China's contemptuous reaction to international court of arbitration's decision that China had no valid claim to waters that are far closer to Philippine and Vietnam than to China, and on which the only occupied Realestate consist of islands the Chinese were able to create out of dredged sand purely because China had a far larger and more powerful navy.
