Pro-China officials placed in top positions within Japanese gov't

Japan starting to see antagonizing China at the current situation will only hurt more. But we know Japanese like playing games with China, these pro China officials cannot fool us.

Its a start for normalizing relations.

Well business is business, our trade is still growing just not as fast as both countries would like to see due to territorial dispute.
With so many bad news from Japan, Abe will start re-thinking about his yasukuni shrine visits or his undiplomatic vocal against China. We know what kind of games Abe likes to play

Right. I think China and Japan should normalize the relationship
Fighting each other is not good for both side..

Japan can start doing that at anytime, and we don't care they want to sincerely apologize or not, since it will buy more time for us to make ourselves even stronger.

Why should the 2nd and 3rd largest economies come to blink of war for uninhabited islands? I mean, I understand the principle of the Senkaku Islands to both parties, but, it should be put aside. And as what you said @terranMarine , business is business. I would rather see both Japan and China improve economically and politically. Gotta be pragmatic...realistic.

I bet China is using the excuse of Japan to develop its military force.
Japan want to be independent from US control. So they need the excuse of China...
It will depend on how fast China grows and how US response..

optimistic to say the least, it will take another 170 years at the least.

lol, nah man. if anything spaceX has shown the private sector can shit done fast and cheaply.

Best post in the entire thread!
I agree 100%

Japan is finished. Japanese companies are pretty much all bankrupt, their debt is staggering, their population is shrinking, their economy is shrinking and their regime has seen all this and gone rogue.

Japan is fast becoming irrelevant in the world.

5 trillion dollar economy irrelevant
who knows all the stuff Japan makes that is essential for the world economy.

I admire the US - China relationship. Both try to play down any antagonistic nationalist sensationalism regarding each other for the sake of economic cooperation. This does not mean they (both US and China) sacrifice each other's military principles / doctrine. I wish Japan can do the same in this regard.

 

[hans]

This is because China and US are so big and so powerful...
Any mistake will bring the world a lot of trouble, or even disaster...
So the leaders need to be very Pragmatic
Japan is still under US control, not independent to make many decision on its own..

That is the key problem. Abe Sensei thinks at anytime Japan apologize to the ww2 is the same. In my opinion, we should de-japanize domestically. We use to many japanese toys. Every time japan play this game we should start to de-japanize the industry. We should do something inreversible, so every time they will feel hurt.

That is a funny conflit. Our target is USA, your target is also USA. Come on we know you better. No.2 is not worthful to compete.

For that islands, it is ours. If the ww2 is not over yet, we over the ww2 in ww2's way. Do not forget Japan is still in war with Russia, you donot have peace contract, ww2 is really not over. If some want to see the war, there will be a war.

Why do you keep on repeating that Japan wants a war with the United States? Be realistic.

There is something undergoing. When we look back from 20 years later, we are Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. That is a possibility.

As I said, the target of Japan is USA. and there is no war at least before the Olympic games 2020 tokyo, take it easy~~~
