It's a big topic that gets scholastically abused on both sides. So that makes it difficult to write everything that it entails on the spot in a new original post whenever it gets uttered on the internet. So I'm linking to a previous post I made about it. If Japan had occupied India instead of...

As if Mao was so good. I really think a what-if that today's WW2 victors don't want consider is what-if Wang and Japan had won. Mao sets a low bar to exceed.

My post wasn't an opinion on PLAN growth. It was strictly observation on growth. Various stages can be observed with increasing number of destroyers. Earliest indication is word of sorts for new constrction. Then is modules in dry dock. Then it's assembly of modules. Then it's launching and...

Well, he said "against Japan". Recognizing Manchukou and the Wang regime would be helping the "China" that would be in favor of Japan, not against.

No, German and Chinese cooperation went from early 1930s until 1937. German got China natural resources like rare earth materials. Nationalists Chinese got weapons and training. But with the raise of anti-communism sentiment in Germany, they drew closer to Japan. By 1938, German and Nationalist...

There's a lot of history and context going here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_conflict https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arakan_Rohingya_Salvation_Army "Genocide" is a very heavy word. Human right violations for sure. But terrorists insurgency is broading the bad behavior from Myanmar...

About 40 of the 53 might be easy-to-pay-off African and other tiny places like Cuba and Venezuela. Most notable support was probably Russia, Pakistan, Iran.. curious to see if Italy and Spain went for China or if neutral. See we need to see the list. Maybe China doesn't want yo show the names...

I'll give you that Trump's "America First" is a headache sometimes. But still far better than being a comrade of the CCP PRC.

Well yeah, at the moment. So can't really visit it right now. But always the PRC is very much against Yasukuni Shrine. Doesn't change the fact that PRC is more vocally against the Shrine than the US. Your desparation makes you mention Koreans. Japan was actually a democracy before the...

The shrine represents Japan's war dead. It is deeply placed in the essence of Japan. The US and Japan carry out joint memorial service for the.Battle of Iwo Jima. If China could acquire trust, then joint memorial service for the second sino-Japanese war might also be possible some day.

Yasukuni Shrine remains free to visit. The PRC has been more vocally against the shrine than the US.

Hurt as in past tense as part of forcing in the terms of unconditional surrender, yes. but that phase ended 70 years ago. US forces are now welcomed in the Asia-Pacific because PRC failed in acquiring trust.

Japan would be weaker in an alliance with the PRC because the PRC seeks what would weaken Japan strategic situation with claim on Senkaku islands and Taiwan. Also, when Japan past the new defense bills, the US, Australia, the Philippines, India, etc. supported Japan. It was the PRC warning Japan...

PRC needs to respect the Senkaku islands being Japan's then. PRC also needs to respect Taiwan's choice in identity and the status of Taiwanese's island of Taiwan. And PRC needs to respect international water way in the South China Sea. Wait until the other pro-CCP posters walk in here...

Reported for going off topic. If you really care, make a new thread about it please.

See? Off topic :-)

But it does not go without saying many things that happen in US-Japan relations. It was a reductionists post that has been addressed many times. If Japan was always trying to please the US without careful consideration, CPTPP would not have happened. Japan would not have started its own...

Reported. Off topic.

Cute thread title :-)

The link you posted is only about coast guard ships around Senkaku islands. Nothing about F-4s. So we still have stay on the F-4 matter until you post your link. There has been 20 F-15Js deployed at Naha. Then in 2016, was bumped up to 40 F-15Js in order to respond to increasing number of...
