It's true that nothing last forever. So in that sense, it is true that China will not hold claim on Taiwan forever and the 9 dash-line. The US-Japan defense relations will be a natural fit as long as the PRC claim on Taiwan is kept as constant. When the claim on Taiwan and 9 dash-line end, then...

Heh.

Well in all honesty, there is a history of human live experimentation else where too including both the US and the Soviet Union. But because Japan was defeated, that closet of bones was fully opened for the world too see while other majors powers are hush hush about their closet of bones. So on...

Those are all points I agree much with. The history has been vilified and took advantage of "winner's write history". It doesn't mean hasn't conducted any crimes against humanity. Unit 731 certainly crossed the line. Some of the rape and massacre incidents also crossed the line. But "war crimes"...

Well I'm not one of the above three mentioned but here's an explanation. The companies that are remaining in China or even boasting presence in China are about having access in the China market. The companies that are leaving are companies that involved China into part of supply chain system...

The F-2 used new wing material for the first time and new ASEA radar type for the first time, both of which were Japanese technology. The engine and avionics were of the of the F-16. SO it was not a straight copy. The material and in particular the radar technology passed on the to the US. This...

Well "Next-generation" could be understood as next generation after F-35 because that's the order of aircraft introduction. F-4 and F-1 --> F-15 --> F-2 --> F-35 --> F-3 While I suspect that you are another Pro-CCP poster that cares more about smearing what is counter to CCP China's...

Japan and the US share common security interests regarding China. It is good to keep relations with the US good. Having a partner country involved in the program is a good way of getting international support for the program. Many of the Pro-CCP posters here like to value the "PRC can do all...

Japan has freedom of expression in the political realm as well as on the internet. Japan has democratic process of elections. Japan has a multi-party political structure. All these mean that if the US applies overbearing influence on Japanese, then the Japanese can speak up and have a guaranteed...

Although to add, the Japanese plan on using their own 15 ton class engine. Development of the prototype jet engine model called XF9-1 was completed in 2018 and was handed over to the Ministry of Defense for evaluation in June 2018...

Since 2016, once a year, one of the DDHs conduct a 2-3 month long mission through South East Asia and into the Indian ocean. In 2016, JS Ise went. In 2017, JS Izumo went. In 2018, JS Kaga went. For 2019, JS Izumo went again. Not sure if 2020 will see a dispatch because of the virus, hopefully...

Still better than Liaoning. Ospreys mean rapid landing of Marines on man-made islands. So it has a functionality that is very relevent in those waters that even a Nimitz carrier doesn't have.

Well, Amphibious assault ship USS America of the Expeditionary Strike Group, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit still transited the South China Sea this month And it sailed in the South China Sea with 2 other US warships. And a frigate from Australia joined them...

Well here's a fairly big exercise before the break out of the Wuhan virus. From November 4th to November 21st in 2019, about 20 warships and about 40 aircraft from the JMSDF participated in the exercise. Other participants include the USN with 5 warships, RAN with 2 warships and 2 aircraft, and...

If Vietnam wants satellites, they got them :tup:

Lots of countries gained/lost territory over the past 100s of years. After the end of all that Imperial age and WW2, China came out fairly big. If the Taiwanese themselves desire unification with PRC, then that's their decision to make. If PRC wants that to happen, then PRC need to work on...

"Keep the status que" would be acceptable. But those are not the words of PRC officials since "unification" would be against "the status que". ---start--- A Chinese mainland spokesperson has voiced firm opposition to the signing of the so-called "2019 Taipei Act" into law by the United...

There are two problems with this idea that is floating around. The first problem is that if the actual number of infected are considerably higher than official number, then that means substantially more infected people in circulation on the trains, going to work, going home, interacting with...
