Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad warns against revising Japan’s pacifist Constitution

[haidian]

If its too hard for you to go back a page or 2 and find the walls of text, then talking with you is a waste of time. Good day to you.

I still don't know what lie I told, can you point it out?

Look up the meaning of the phrase "living a lie"

Living what lie? like US and Japanese euqal partnership?

Funny you use the word equal this time instead of master slave.

Equal is debatable but its going to include some fundamentals like the US being a nuclear power with super carriers. But "Master-slave" is a troll's argument.

So do you think the Chinese people would be better off if the US didn't exist?

That question is over-speculative and, answering it would not add any value to the conversation.

What we can look at is the geopolitical reality, which suggests me that US is a hostile major power for China (and Russia).

Economic interdependency (or lack thereof) does not preclude destructive competition. Prior to the WW1, global trade was more liberal than it is today. Yet, it did not prevent power competition and major wars.

USA has outlast her utility in this planet.

I believe so, too. It has become a viability, rather than an asset. The common feeling at the UNGA summit showed that feeling very expressly.

Japan is just a lapdog of US and always ready to be at US becks and calls, you don't need a partner casue you always have a master. You are brainwashed to accept your persecutors and oppressors as your savior, that's the worst thing can happen to a nation.

Exactly, it is difficult to take someone with a master as a partner. The world treats Japan as one with a serious master, so does China and Japan.

That was clear during the Eastern Economic Forum, in which four other NEA country leaders deviated significantly from Abe and sidelined him.

Because, one someone is on the leash and lacks free will, it cannot be taken seriously in any serious matter.

 

[帅的一匹]

why you guys even borther to argue with a Japanese? its like waste.time to argue with your enemy forever.

 

[Viet]

Well, Wang Yi himself said so that China and US are competitors who need each other but not enemies. You disagree?

These are posturings which has little impact on the real tangible average Chinese lives. Would the Chinese people be better off if US didn't exist?

Can Rome and Sparta coexist?

Never!

One will make the way for other. I wish China all the best but I am afraid the PLA is too selfish and a tool of China imperialism. Bullying weaker opponents is Chinese national pastime. Believing China rise will bring peace and prosperity to all is naive. But hey our SAE neighbors can rely on Vietnam military power.

USA has outlast her utility in this planet.

Japan and Vietnam militaries must grow to keep the region more balanced. The US and China will do what they want otherwise.

You should worry about USA banana republic when everyone is dying young despite having the best big pharma in the planet.

Big pharma helps decrease lifespan. Part of the western elite agenda

why you guys even borther to argue with a Japanese? its like waste.time to argue with your enemy forever.

He's a white guy living in Japan.

Radiation from us nukes did some huge damage on the brain of that japanese dude. Just ignore him.

In limiting Japan’s development of aggressive armaments, the interests and positions of countries that were once invaded by Jap are consistent.
China, South Korea, North Korea, Russia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar are firmly opposed to Japan's development of offensive weapons and military forces.

The Philippines president visited JS Kaga.

Thailand and Myanmar have made no such statement.

ROK is closer to the US in defense than any other country so Its fine.

So your list is down to just three... China, DPRK, and Russia.

This is what happens in those Jap those bushidō monkeys' aggress head right now. An ex-self-defense officer fantasizing and planning a WW2 pearl harbor style sneaky attack on Chinese South Sea Navy openly. Those bushidō monkeys are retarded on a whole new level. This is an excellent example of how those bushidō monkeys didn't purge clean enough by US. Let them remove article 9, we should purge those bushidō monkeys one more time.

The First Rule to "fail" as a General is to show your Arrogance...
The Second is to underestimate & Overestimate your opponent...
And The last, it's Making Rule One and Two your new Motto...

Not from me btw...But a well known Chinese General... I think you know who...
Better start by believing in your legacy from now on...

increasing interaction does not mean supporting the expansion of Jap military force.

The Japanese are never worthy of being trusted, will only be afraid of force.

South Korea has just asked Japan not to use the Jap flag to attend the Korean military parade.
South Korea is even stronger than China in opposing Jap colonial expansion. After all, South Korea was colonized by Japan.

However, due to US pressure, South Korea’s opposition to Jap is not so obvious.

The Japanese are never worthy of being trusted, Jap will only be afraid of force.

Call the developing defense relations between Japan and ASEAN whatever you like. Its taking place which means your original statement of "firmly opposed" is incorrect. Why would the president of a country visit Japan's largest warship if "firmly opposed"? Because he isn't. You are thinking 1+1=3 and trying to make others believe 1+1=3. This is another good example of "living a lie". To be "firmly opposed" would have to be backed by official statements. Where are the statements that you claim to exist? There aren't any. All you can do is post more 1+1=3 rubbish.

Now if the context of the situation changed, such as China dropping the 9 dash line claim, then it is likely that Japan and ASEAN defense relations would slow down, stop, and perhaps even retract. It's China's decision...

For ROK, again, they are working closer with the US in defense more than anyone else, so meh.
