Japan troops won’t get involved if China invades Taiwan, PM Yoshihide Suga says

[Suika]

They have one of the oldest populations in the world, and one which is fast shrinking. Where would these troops come from?
Are they planning to go speak to the cloners of Kamino?

The defense of Taiwan is a scenerio that is largely in the air and at sea. Those realms are less human resouce intensive than ground forces. No reason to assume the JSDF number of personnel will fall below 200,000.

Japan refused to join the Korean War and it will do so again with Taiwan. Nobody has the stomach to fight China not even USA.

Not entirely true there were some Japanese that did serve in the Korean War in total secrecy at the time. They did mineweeping and transport landing ship operation. About 80 have died in the war.

I highly anticipate Japan to be an aggresive power in the future. They are aggresive people who always want more land. Thats why throughout history they are always invading Korea and CHina has to come and save their little korean brothers. The moment Japan is unleashed from the US, Japan is going to try and take easy land from papua new guinea etc. Japan has just been neutered by the US but one day they will be released.

 

[Suika]

Ironically when Japan finally involved itself in another war it may turned out to be another attack on Pearl Harbour.

In history Japan had always opposed the illegal annexation of Hawaii by the US Congress by passing a domestic bill.

So in reality Japan has never recognized US sovereignty over Hawaii and it has always been their silent ambition to drive out the Americans.

The Americans may some day think that saving the Nationalist and Communist Chinese was not worth it.

The empire of Japan came into existance when other countries had empires as well and were creeping on Edo era Japan's shores. Taiwan actually was like a colony of the Qing dynasty given all the rebellions that happened on Taiwan under Qing rule. Tibet is a similar example. So it's a bit hypocritical of China actually.

Hypocritical or not the truth stands that Japan has always tried to invade countries especially now with their demographic issues. No one said China never invaded other countries, they have invaded and conquered hundreds of tribes and smaller nations. Japan wants to do the same and think more land will solve their demographic issue and will allow them to multiply and become a perenial world power. If that happens China and Japan might divide south east asia between them.

 

[Suika]

Japanese military itself is not very meaningful, but they are very hard to avoid getting involved in a war with China if the US is getting involved, because if they allowed the US to use their bases in Japan, they are automatically becoming targets for China's armed force.

If the PRC did not have a claim on the Senkaku islands, did not have a claim on Taiwan, and did not have the 9 dash line claim, then it would become harder to find reason for US soldiers to remain in Okinawa. But anti-base sentiment is less now then 10-20 years ago. US soldiers could stay home in peace if China's rise was without security concern.

Hundreds? Let's you list a tenth of them.

So much of your fantasy.. There is no rebel in Taiwan after Qing reclaim it from Ming dynasty. Same as Tibet. It was very peaceful until the foreign aggression comes. Not to mention the mass killing of Taiwan indigenous people in 1930 by IJA and gruesome display of hundred over heads chop off. Maybe you want to claim Taiwan indigenous people are barbaric and IJ was very peaceful.

Southern CHina alone was made up of hundreds of small tribe/nations of hmong/viet ancestry that were conquered and absorbed.

There was only 2.. Nationalist China or French Indochina.

So Japan wants no part of the Quad.

India is to useless to do anything.

Pray tell wtf is australia hoping to get out of its relationship with the Quad?

Make no mistake Australia would make a massive contribution to the war against China.

It would send one destroyer and two frigates to guard the waters of Australia , in case China wants to liberate Australia with Taiwan.

Otherwise, Australia would bring all the "Bhande" to make lot of noises.
It would sing "Quad, Quad," "Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddd, Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad" baby.

If that's the whole story then why does Taiwan still not want to join he PRC?

 

[CAPRICORN-88]

The article doesn't mention the 2014 reinterpretation of the constitution that resulted in new defense laws which include "collective self-defense".

Both Japan and Taiwan want good relations with China but China is not correct in seeing unification with Taiwan as a correct path.

Reunification with the Mainland China whether it is PRC or KMT in command in Taiwan is inevitable.

If General Chiang KS has then decided to make Hainan its HQ instead, today Hainan will be the Taiwan of today.

It is fait accompli.

Peaceful unification is not agaisnt Japan's policy. Only a forceful is.

Pussy little japan

Of course they afraid of China, they realize today is 2021 not 1931 anymore

 

[CAPRICORN-88]

Today China has successful planted durian trees in Hainan islands.

Imagine what happened if General Chiang just made that simple decision.
Which do you prefer?
Taiwan pineapple or Hainan durian?
