Agreed. The inaction of China concerning Japan's remilitarization is infuriating. Simply banning rare earth minerals doesn't solve the fundamental problem. Strongly worded statements are useless in this day and age. A country like Japan only responds to force.
Well since Japan's economy is in a very big pickle right now and given that everytime they try to save their economy via selling US treasuries (which is guaranteed to anger the USA at a time they can ill afford to do so) and given how the USA is withdrawing resources from both South Korea and Japan to fight a war that is all but lost, Id say that responding aggressively isn't going to be a wise action and continuing this wear and tear strategy is still a wise course of action until something actually develops. How can the Japanese remiliterise without lots of resources that isn't going to Japan right now. Just because they are lots of crazy people in Japan doesn't mean they are capable of actually fighting when there build up and stockpiles are far beneath
what it should be to confront China. The current leader knows how to appeal to the lowest common denominator but does she know anything about actually planning. These talks of concern is a smoke screen and unless China actually reveals its hand in full, no one would ever know how much China has prepared, although given how China radar system alone is able to greatly level the ground for Iran to actually fight both Israel and the USA, I would imagine China already has something in store for the Asia pacific that no one has any idea of

The way the Chinese think is if they don’t lodge a complaint, then it’s not official and Japan will think it’s okay. It’s more important to have to put it on record so that history knows despite how to Westerners will see it as a show of strength by displaying defiance. This is where the say nothing do nothing logic is hypocritically ignored. The Chinese have to say something when they don’t when all it does is give the enemy a freebie to show strength at China’s expense.
There is no 'winning response' to these provocation. If China reply weakly, they will dial it up. If China reply strongly, they frame it as tough defiance to a menace. The correct response to curtail the action from happening, not after it happens. And the consequence must be targeted at personal level. Like back when they sanction individuals like Pompeo.

When it comes to taming the west, China must learn from Israel. Israel has organization from top to bottom to control the narratives. At grassroot level they have ADL to police social media. At elite level they have finance politicians and have personal connections to individuals. That is how you deal with the "provoke China for political gains" meta. Target these politicians on an individual level, and hold the politicians responsible for stirring the grassroot sentiment. Make them have career failures with great certainty, strengthen their political rivals and it will dissuade any opportunists. This is how 'democracy' functions and Israeli know it better than anyone.

Trump:
Iran:

Trump declares "mission accomplished", while his own intelligence agency suspects that Iran will have the last laugh.

Just a few purged generals like what happened in China, nothing to see here.

Today's "Do Nothing. Win!" news:

Chinese firms market Iran war intelligence ‘exposing’ U.S. forces​

The private companies — some with ties to the military — are marketing detailed intelligence on movements of U.S. forces, even as Beijing seeks to keep its distance.

After the moves, only about 425 JASSM-ER out of a prewar inventory of 2,300 will remain available for the rest of the globe. That would be roughly enough for 17 B-1B bombers on a single mission. Another 75 or so are “unserviceable” because of damage or technical faults.
