You know there are American, Britain, Celtic, Danish, Ethiopia, France,... etc philosophies, and such categories have been used since XIX century, or quite earlier (quite later for other countries).
What do you think about this? Is there such a phenomenon like"national philosophy"? Isn't it just a casual, accidental, maybe, unnecessary notion? What make a philosophy be national or has national markers, properties?
(Myself, I don't toward this if it's not a just common, handle and situate question. I guess this notion is rather strange, than correct.)

Nationalism itself is the idea that philosophy belongs to National identity, and for much of the 20th century this was how people were constructed. More often than not, this had little to do with their own inner personal philosophy, which was often at odds with the National identity as dictated by the state and its lackeys: Jingoism.
What will the next century bring us?
Either the absence of philosophy at all: subservience to the power-structure of financial dogma which turns us all into cogs in somebody else's game of monopoly.
or?
A type of spiritual-communism based on equity. But that would entail a curtailing of corporate power-structures, either through violent mass action, or perhaps the more subtle feminist variety of velvet revolution.
After all, There is always a spiritual price to pay for liberty. Suicide is the only free ride.
