Oh sooner or later Japan is going to get there’s, as if China has forgotten about WW2 and has always been showing a tone of Chinese drama highlighting the fact even until now so that when the day comes that China has decided that enough is enough, the whole Chinese nation will be backing the government when they have all the preparations ready to wreck the shit out of Japan and anyone dumb enough to show solidarity with those unapologetic bastards. The one thing about China being able to stand alone against so many nations is that it made China so strong as a nation that the moment that the USA is out of commission for just a little bit,China is going to begin collecting the assets of these people and will put their enemies away for good. Sadly enough, patience is the key when dealing with all the unknowns and their real backers, but when the day comes that their backers are suck figurative and literally, China is going to demonstrate quite throughly what happens when China brings its extreme cruelty (in the ancient times when dealing with their enemies that is) into the modern age and especially when they have been pushed far enough and no, the Japanese better not consider Ghost of Tsushima as an example of the Japanese being able to fight back because you can be sure that China has already seen that too and knows how to fix that crap.IF anything, i regard this as a good sign, it's already been year and the best the Five Eyes have been able to do is make pathetic mewling performative acts of 'solidarity', for eg europe and america will talk up a good storm over supporting australia but will gladly take australian market share in wine and beef in China. Basically, against China's rise the Anglosphere is impotent and given COVID, are now more dependant on Chinese factories to keep inflation at bay.
However, regarding japan's backstabbing of China ie whilst maintaining close economic links with china, the japanese conspicuously work with the anglos against Chinese interests; if anything, the Japanese require a sharp lesson similar to that enacted on vietnam 40 years ago
