Again, that is besides the point, if any China that islands belonged to them, then it doesn't matter what the status was, China would have the claim on them from the beginning. But they didn't. Even South China Ses claim is older than Senkaku.
And how soon would F-4s have to arrive on scene? 5...
Well it is very curious about your mentioning of F-4s being "thrown in with everything else" when F-4s are stationed at Hyakuri Air Base. One can scroll down to tje F-4 part and find only Hyakuri (百里) Air base listed for were they are deployed...
You have to link it here. I'm not going to look for something that does not exist.
You talk about JASDF F-4s. But how could F-4s be involved if the only air squadron still equipped with F-4s is based out of where Tokyo is?
No link? No truth.
Well, in the past 5 or so years, it was unknown how many Type 55 or Type 52D destroyers were going to be made. Every year, evidence for more of these ships being manufactured kept on happening. But recently, it looks like production of destroyers has reached the end. The count on identified Type...
There is no doubt that the PLAN has become larger and in some areas have achieved an advantage.
But there are several factors not accounted for in the article.
One is aircraft carrier quality. The 3rd PLAN carrier may prove the point of change but J-15 is still the weaker compared to the F-35B...
It doesn't matter so much what it was called. "trusteeship" or whatever, it as administered by the US. And both the US and Japan made peaceful agreement about transfer of much of the territory. But that is irrelevent to PRC's position regarding the Senkaku islands. The fact remains that the PRC...
The PRC maintained the claim on Taiwan since even the late 1940s and cursed the US for defending Taiwan at sea. And PRC soldiers were fighting US soldiers on the peninsula. So just because Okinawa was US territory in those years would have been no reason for the CCP to not have a claim on those...
You're free to believe what you want with military comparison. How often has he pro-CCP posters trolled on other points? No reason to not assume they'll just troll on military aspect.
But to the side of that is also the belief about might makes right. Dispite the many points that show how...
Ah the quality and informative posts like yours that earn the respect and support of Pakistani's on PDF to troll on Japan and Taiwan :)
Taiwan don't want to be part of PRC? TOO BADZ, TAIWAN IZ PARTS OF PRC!
Taiwan not part of long history of ancient China? TOO BADZ! TAIWAN STILL AND ALWAYZ...
That's another cute one :-)
Exactly, I was going to say the same thing. Other countries like Japan and the US have no need to use super computers to manage A massive firewall and moniter online activity by 100s of millions of people to such a data intensive extent that the CCP requires.
Japan doesn't have to retire now. China is willing to wait.
For eternity even.
I think the Pakistani lash out is equivelent to desperation they claim India to be having.
Cornered is certainly a great exaggeration.
But just like in 2012, the PRC will learn to get used to new Senkaku...
China's response to Abe's call to lead G7 on HK.
---start---
(Reuters) - China said on Wednesday it expressed grave concerns to Japan after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Tokyo wants to take the lead among the Group of Seven nations to issue a statement about the situation in Hong Kong...
There was hardly any hidden intention in each of those events. We can go through all of them eventually but lets go through one at a time while comparing the timeline to each of those events with the current situation today so as to easily compare and then come to the conclusion that it is not...
At any rate, we'll revisit the thread after the G7 meeting. Maybe it'll be a G7+ROK+India+Australia+Russia or maybe it'll be just G7, or heck perhaps even G7 minus Germany. We'll see.
Actually, I don't see Japan getting back the kind of fighting spirit exhibited in the Imperial Army/Navy...
What might end up happening is Japan gathering a full G7 statement on HK. That would weigh more than just the short term knee-jerk reaction with fewer countries.

TOKYO -- Japan is preparing a joint statement to be issued with other Group of Seven countries targeting China over its...
