Looks like its serving beyond its expected service life, so probably doing well.

It doesn't really serve as food for thought if someone has already seen those video clips 😉 Regardless how you post, we will see a continuation of Japanese policy towards things like the QUAD, Free and open Indo-Pacific, emphasis on the US-Japan alliance and so on. What could change it is if...

A video (with cheesy music) about the 24th Deployment Surface Force for Counter-Piracy Enforcement to the Gulf of Aden. The dispatch was made up of JS Yudachi and JS Yugiri and went from March to September in 2016.

There's no doubt that the PRC has become militarily much more powerful. But things are multi-faceted. Those end results you post would have to be proceeded by PRC's forceful unification with Taiwan first. That hasn't happened yet so keep waiting.

The following JSDF videos have sections about international cooperation but note an absence of cooperation with PLA forces. Reason being is due to the foreign policy adopted by the government. In this 70th year anniversary promo, there's a section that starts at 2:53 listing many of JSDF...

The post you responded to was entirely 100% observation based and 0% of my personal opinion even if my on view is similar to it. So trying to frame the content's of that post as just my own opinion which than you sum it up as not in Japan's intetest just is another little troll trick. *yaaaawwnnn*

So for the South China Sea, Japanese leaders started the concept of an Indo-Pacific sometime around 2007: ... The Pacific and the Indian Oceans are now bringing about a dynamic coupling as seas of freedom and of prosperity. A "broader Asia" that broke away geographical boundaries is now...

Oh good, so then back on topic for the time being. ------------------------------------- 2016 Fuji Combined Arms Live Fire Demonstration on August 28th of that year. First half and second half.

Well with those three items (Senkaku, Taiwan, and 9 dash line) we can go through them one at a time and then put out more specific reasons as to how more clearly why the obvious policy of Japan sees that it is in its own interest that the Senkaku islands belong to Japan, that Taiwan is...

Indeed many risks exists. With he population size of Vietnam, I think they could reach rank 10 even some day. But of course, gotta get passed the 1 trillion mark first. Some what disappointing that Vietnam already got placed with the currency manipulation watch.

The Senkaku islands belong to Japan. Taiwan is not part of CCP China. And the 9 dash line is unacceptable. Those are obviously the key interests points of Japanese foreign policy. But then next comes the "Japan did it because its a US lapdog". And yet when Japan joins RCEP then its "Japan and...

If the China side on the forums keeps saying that the Senkaku islands belong to China, a poster to say the opposite can't be a form of being "anxious" because its just bringing to a minimum a balance to the air waves on the forums. The whole "you are anxious" "you are desperate" and so on, is a...

Going from rank 56 to 19 is a very respectable gain.

If so then the PRC should understand that the Senkaku islands belong to Japan. PRC should understand that the 9 dash line is unacceptable. They should accept Taiwan as an independent country. And they should let the Japanese PM visit Yasukuni Shrine in peace even if they don't like it. That...

JS Suzunami conducted joint-training with France's Tonnerre and Guepratte in the Gulf of Aden on March 30th, 2016. https://www.defense.gouv.fr/marine/actu-marine/mission-jeanne-d-arc-manoeuvres-franco-japonaise-dans-le-golfe-d-aden https://www.mod.go.jp/msdf/release/201603/20160331-01.pdf

Japan is gathering a network of defense partners with not just the US but also with many countries in the region. These countries just want peace in the region without being falling under control of CCP China. These countries are Taiwan, the Philippines, Palau, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, and...

There's the... "Hai, hai, --- I see I understand will do" "Hai, hai, --- ok it can't be helped" "Hai, hai, --- you know your trolling, I know your trolling so why bother, let's try again next time.. " But now look, "Japan is enemy and we take revenge cuz we never forget!" If Chiang Kai-shek...

The big matters are that the Senkaku islands belong to Japan. Taiwan does not belong to CCP China. And the 9 dash line is unacceptable. I have not been double about this position. PRC should accept those in order to establish trust building. ----------- A compilation video featuring...

Didn't need a mod to point that out though. I was up front about it when I started posting here. Pro-CCP posters were thirsty to trash native Japanese and were disappointed when I said I wasn't. But then months and year go by, and then they start accusing me of being fake Japanese and making...
