Lol..Japan is small fry, if war happened. China can settle Japan in a week.
More like Japan playing into Chinese hands by spending more on military when they shall double down effort on human resources and R&D. Japan is goners. Even they triple their military spending, they are not gonna match China in military.
One Japanese military gear equals the 4 times the amount in China but without any significant increase in advantage of quality.
Tell me, how can Japan outspend China in military? Unless Japan can increase by 12 times from current budget.
