How Japan’s pledge to defend Taiwan against China may tip Asia’s balance of power

[Leishangthem]

That was a debuty minister talking high at some banquet lol.
But China shouldn't push Japan at the edge,instead they should try to push Japan out of western coalition,for last time Japan was threatened of invasion by foreign navy,Japan ended up building the 2nd largest navy in the world,ww2 japan had 2 weakness,energy and nukes. Now Japan have both(technically).People don't realize the strain of a war on economy one war and the economic growth of the nation will be leveled for decades,and western supremacy might prevail forever.China should stop antagonizing japan with fake history even after Japan had apologized ,for local political points and distraction.

This kind of news will put fire under the belly of the chinese.. Japan talking about Taiwan or defending them will ire them. If you wanna avoid angering a chinese avoid that subject

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

And what about USAF bases in Japan, can they allow China to invade and annex Okinawa??? LOL

Destroyed by invasion.

Colonialist fowing to "defend" foreign property from its owners, just as in old times and then the shills get mad when you dare still mention their colonial past.

 

[Mav3rick]

Would any single country even consider making a pledge to aid Taiwan when the time comes for forceful reunification if the Chinese made it abundantly clear that they will Nuke all countries which stand in her way militarily?

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

Japan couldn't even defend their own islands disputed with China but they'll pledge to defend Taiwan will somehow change the balance if power?

 

[Hack-Hook]

Our goal is the whole of Japan, we will replace the US as the new master of Japan. At least one good thing, our soldiers don't rape Japanese girls.

well Chinese mobs can be as lethal , even more lethal

First, they are not PLA. Second, in World War II, the Japanese were not protected by the laws of war.

The Japs see themselves as being honorary white- an extension of the West. Lets hope they take a beating from the mighty Chinese.

japan constantly provokes China, but they dare not provoke Russia, because historically, the Russians have retaliated very brutally, they have raped countless Japanese women in Manchuria, Russian tanks crushed civilians. Japan. The Russians captured more than 600,000 Japanese soldiers, forced them into slavery in the Far East, repeatedly beating, starving, torturing and humiliating Japanese soldiers. After the war, many Japanese fishermen were killed by the Russians while fishing on the northern border. The Japanese love Russia, respect Russia because Russians are brutal

It is that easy for you to defeat QUAD lol it is not video game brother i am sorry to say, for short range BMs they latest version PAC 3 as well as SM 3 and SM 6 on USN ships also

Never said it was easy. As an armchair general, I'm just giving my thoughts on how I see a possible war will play out. China have hundreds of long range hypersonic BMs that the QUAD forces have no countermeasures against. If I was the commander of the Chinese forces I would use them all in the first hour of conflict against SEAD targets. How many of those PAC3, THAAD and ships survive past that point is the question. After that the real slugfest begins between the navies and air force. Even then, China can deploy more then the Quad. To add to that China would still have thousands of lower end BMs to throw at targets with weakened air defenses. Hard to imagine a quad victory here.

This is what we need to reflect on. China's own way to solve the aftermath of the war cannot convince the Japanese. Because this is not the correct method in line with Japanese culture.

I have always called for the opponent's cultural habits to be used to deal with opponents, rather than Chinese cultural habits to deal with opponents. For example, the Japanese, the Japanese will only respect those who are vicious to them. China cannot handle its relations with Japan in good faith. The Japanese would only think of this as weakness.

LOL you think that's will that easy that you will attack Japan ànd Japan ànd USA will not retaliate or sitting idle to that attack by you, this isn't a video game kid

 

[aziqbal]

THAAD only work against BMs with a fixed arc and are more expensive then the short range BMs they are effective against.. Either way, internally China's strategic planners have already assumed Japan, Australia and US will join against China over Taiwan.

Taiwan was given to Japan after Chinese were defeated in 1898 do you know the name of the treaty ?

you lost the war you cannot keep crying you want it back

if China wants to join Taiwan and become parts of Taiwan its fine but it wont ever happen the other way round

Japan provoke china by being pro US,but that's situation is also byproduct of Chinese and NK's provocation,a never ending cycle..
If Japan doesn't provoke Russia,than China doesn't provoke Russia either,why doesn't China try to take back mongolia which was torn apart by soviet or demand Vladivostok back seceded by unfair treaty? but only selectively attacks Japanese claimed islands?
There's actually more recorded documnets of Chinese atrocities on Japanese civilians than from the Japanese side u,nless you pull the figures from like nanking massacre ,refuted by Mao himself,those aren't supported by documental records.
Rather tha what's typical respect,Japan sees Russia as absolutely barbaric ,like a wild bear,if you poke a wild bear it will react in barbaric manner,Russia isn't threatning islands already occuped by Japan like the Chinese navy is doing ,in modern political scene the one initiating the infringement of established order is called the provoking side.
