      Of course, Japan, who has a country that lobs missiles into waters nearby, a much larger neighbor, and no nuclear option should not build up a military

      Meanwhile China, who has no threat to its territory from anybody whatsoever and has a nuclear response capability has the divine right to militarize as much as they want.

      Of course, I would immediately reverse course and praise China a lot if they agreed to eliminate their navy should Japan do so as well. But I have a feeling that’s not something they actually have any interest in lol

      Ah the usual media tactic of citing other media that cited anonymous sources and then writing the headline to make it seem like it 100% happened.

      Is it just me seeing this, or does this article/news gets posted here everyday?

      Poor little poo bear.

      He remembers that gleam in Japan’s eye.

      I wouldn’t blame any country for ramping up their military right now. The US is on the side of the bad guys now and talks about invading their allies weekly.

      I’m sure Japan doesn’t believe they can count on the US for defense like they might have in the past

      I mean, did he expect Japan would just become a Chinese colony once the US pulls out of the region? This is clearly defensive and Japan poses no threat to the Chinese mainland.

      Ha, at the ceremony commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Showa era, right-wingers like Sanae Takaichi even prevented the Emperor from speaking, in order to stop him from issuing a peace declaration.

      Can the old insecure manipulative jerks that are leading every country just retire or leave us soon ?

      I mean to be fair, Japan still won’t accept culpability for the horrors they committed during the Second Sino-Japanese war. Human experimentation, plague bombing, city sized massacres and weaponized rape were all your average Tuesday for the Japanese back then. So I can get what he’s coming from..

      Or would, if it wasn’t Xi, who is the mouthpiece of the party that was descended from the fuckass warlord whose regime arguably collaborated with them.

      If Xi hates it, it means it’s the right thing to do. The CCP is an imperialistic, expansionist, tyrannical regime that must be contained in order for democracy to survive in Asia.

      Who started the arms race in Asia Pacific again? CCP military ambition is clear for all, to see.

      Japan should became a normal country while the real militarism threats at East Asia are China and North Korea.

      If Xi has respect for Lee Kuan Yew’s view of Asia, then I can see him being critical of Japan remilitarizing. The Japanese probably have it in them to be an impressive military force if they wanted to (which would be a pain for China).

    19. m1r4nd4k on

      A reminder that the CCP has killed more Chinese people than anyone else in history (estimates range from 20 up to 60 million) and they have never apologized for their crimes, for their incompetence and their cruelty.

      This is just everyday politics.

      The tug of war line is in the SCS. The US is enjoying its Island Chains doctrine while China is eager to push the lines back every chance it can, at least to Midway if not all the way to Hawaii. 

      For now they’re just jostling in a dynamic equilibrium. Nothing special. 

    22. SurammuDanku on

      Just give a fucking proper apology and move on. I don’t know why that’s so difficult for the Japanese

    23. UltimateGammer on

      Of course they do. 

      China is swinging toward a more imperialism.

      Yet they find themselves surrounded tough mountainous terrain to the south and west. 

      Vietnam/laos/thailand is very aware of their relationship with China seem on the ball as far as preparation.

      That leaves the north, Russia, which the further you go the less you want.

      So there is the east, also their main trade route, which can be blockaded by Japan, SK, phillipines, Indonesia. 

      All states china want to bully and all states which are feeling increasingly threatened.

      With China’s behaviour and the US’s laxity this was inevitable.
