Update- Its not 4 Chinese now but rather 6. Clearly a planned attack on Chinese nationals. Also casualties likely to rise.

Extract from the articles. Sound very much like 8-nations alliance all over again!
"Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi wrote the preface for the paper in a rare move, saying Japan would collaborate with such countries as Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, India, New Zealand and the United States that share the same value to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific, an initiative apparently aimed at countering China's rising assertiveness."

I do not trust Erdogan. His track record is not encouraging. But he is also not completely on the side of the West. Its not a bad move for China to cut a deal with him. China can help Turkey to grow its economy, and Turkey can help to keep the ETIM and Pan-Turkic extremism in check. Nevertheless China should only trust but verify.
Unfortunately this terrorism problem is happening on Pakistani soil. And Pakistan is still only just starting its recovery process from decades of suffering from terrorism. It is gonna take time to stabilise that region. When that time comes, India will find itself being left behind.
That being said, because China cannot directly intervene. It can be very frustrating to see this happening. Perhaps this would push China and Pakistan to collaborate better on anti-terrorism. More intelligence sharing and training is much needed right now. I would add, get Russia to also contribute their anti-terror experience. Let them sell to Pakistan equipment they proudly used in their counterterrorism operations. I think Russia would be happy with that kinda deal. This has the added bonus of pissing India off.
China needs to preempt the Japanese by weakening their car industry, especially in the EV sector. By damaging this important industry, their economy will be weakened. This can be done by expelling them from the Chinese market.
Macau Monthly: The US State Department submitted the 2021 Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act Report to Congress, once again accusing China of "committing genocide and crimes against humanity against Uyghurs...and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang". Do you have any comment?
Zhao Lijian: Here is a joke. In this US report there are the following words: "This Administration will defend and protect human rights around the world". How hilarious! The US government has a deplorable human rights record that continues throughout history to the present. Some in the US are in the habit of giving prescriptions to others when they themselves are sick. A report following such absurd logic is completely worthless.
Here is another joke. In the report the US accuses the Chinese government of committing "genocide and crimes against humanity" in Xinjiang. This is an outrageous and preposterous lie. It has revealed the true face of the US government to the Chinese people. The US image in the hearts of the Chinese people has has collapsed and its credibility completely bankrupt. Speaking of "genocide and crimes against humanity", the US has a better claim to them than any other country.
The US should not forget the innocent African American lives taken by the brutal Tulsa race massacre 100 years ago, the Indians who were cruelly expelled and slaughtered during the Westward Expansion, or the desperate cries of people like George Floyd. Due to US indifference to human rights, over 600,000 American lives have been claimed by COVID-19, ethnic minorities live in fear of racial hate crimes, refugees and immigrants are left in miserable conditions, millions of children suffer from abuse, poverty and forced labor. The US even condoned its troops' illegal killing and abuse of foreign civilians in overseas military operations, of which there is iron-clad evidence.
The US is in no position to criticize other countries' human rights conditions. No matter how some in the US go to great lengths along its misguided course to hype up lies on Xinjiang, their political conspiracy to disrupt Xinjiang and contain China will only end up in failure. The US had better direct more energy to actually resolving domestic human rights problems.

Note: The United States is the world leader in incarceration, despite the national incarceration rate being at its lowest in 20 years, with about 25% of the world's prison population being in the US. The United States currently has over 2.1 million total prisoners. The prison population in 1972 was 200,000.
Incarceration Rates By Country 2021
Why are for-profit US prisons subjecting detainees to forced labor
Private prisons have for years enriched themselves by exploiting detained immigrant labor. They must be held accountable.
Stewart Prison is operated by the largest prison corporation in the US, CoreCivic (formerly Corrections Corporation of America), under a contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice). The corporation’s net income last year was $178m.
Ahmed’s experience mirrors that of a growing number of detained immigrants at facilities across the US who are subjected to forced labor. Ahmed, who was paid 50 cents per hour to work within the facility, was upset because his $20 paycheck was delayed. His punishment was solitary confinement for 10 days, where he was subject to deplorable conditions.
From Slavery to Mass Incarceration of African Americans
The United States has more of its citizens incarcerated than any other nation in the world. Mass Incarceration has steadily increased in the past 4 decades with the number of African Americans making up over half of the prison population.

They attempted to do to China, what they did to the Soviets in Afghanistan...
“The policy of guiding the evolution of islam and of helping them [Muslims] against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army. The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia.”
Seventy Years of U.S. Destabilisation in China. U.S. Sponsored Uyghur Insurgency in Xinjiang
The Pentagon’s strategies towards China have somewhat mirrored those they directed against the USSR: Utilisation of proxy groups, extremists and ethnic minorities, along with client states.
The Turkistan Islamic Party (TIC), a terrorist organisation, was founded by Uyghur jihadists in 1988, just as separatist uprisings were breaking out in Xinjiang province, north-western China. The Turkistan Islamic Party, previously known as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, received CIA sponsorship from its early existence.
By 2001, militant Uyghurs were preparing for guerrilla warfare in the same camps situated in Afghanistan where the CIA and ISI, Pakistan’s intelligence service, had once provided training to Mujahideen extremists – in order to hamper Soviet troops embedded in Afghanistan 40 years ago. Between 1990 and 2001, the Turkistan Islamic Party perpetrated over 200 terrorist acts, including blowing up vehicles, market places and assassinating Chinese government officials.
High profile Uyghur separatists, like the Xinjiang-born Anwar Yusuf Turani, founder of the East Turkestan Government in exile, is himself living in the state of Virginia, on America’s east coast. Turani has been a willing tool in Washington’s power game with China; in June 1999, he met with president Bill Clinton and asked him to back political movements seeking independence for Xinjiang; and Turani later enjoyed dialogue with Clinton’s successor, George W. Bush, who promised to support the “fundamental human rights” of “Uyghurs and others living in China”.
Further prominent Uyghur exiles living in America have called for Xinjiang’s independence from China, such as Rebiya Kadeer, a five-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, born in Xinjiang, and who also resides in the US state of Virginia.
For 11 years until November 2017, she was the leader of the World Uyghur Congress (WUC), headquartered in Munich, and which is partly funded by the National Endowment For Democracy (NED). The NED, partially subsidised by the United States Congress, has a long history of “soft power” interference in sovereign states around the world: China, Nicaragua, the Ukraine, and so on.
Here's the notorious picture, the distorted and trimmed picture of Uyghur prisoners often used as an iconic image of Uyghur and Xinjiang! Note that the Western Mainstream media remove the marking denoting the source of the image!!
It is an open secret that Japan had historically seeked to keep separating Taiwan from China. This idea of 'protecting' Taiwan from China is not new. It has been mentioned several times by the right-wing Japanese. Even Abe, a Nippon Kaigi member himself had hinted years back that Japan would intervene if China attacked Taiwan. Some Taiwanese have been influenced to think that they are more 'Japanese' than Chinese. It is no secret that Japanese propaganda is involved in that. Just like what the British are doing to HKgers.
The 8 nation alliance only worked on a China that had practically no modern navy and military. That China was in the midst of civil wars, drug epidemic, and political instability. It was a Meiji-era rapidly rising Japan versus a collapsing late Qing-era China. That is not the case today. Today the roles are reversed. China is the rapidly rising power under the leadership of the CPC. While Japan is the declining power, albeit slowly. This Japan has shown profound inability to reform, adapt, and innovate vs the other Asian powers. Apart from pop culture and entertainment, what can Japan do that China has not yet matched or exceeded? The way the Olympics and Covid-19 was handled. I could not believe it was Japan who could screw that up so badly. I could not believe that a Japanese Minister, Taro Aso would dare say that Fukushima's radioactive water is safe to drink. Those are things we see in clownish governments. But that's what had happened.
There are more than enough good people in Japan to turn things around, but right now they have some of the worse people leading the nation. And these clowns are picking a fight with China to divert attention away from their incompetence. Japan is not India, there is still hope for the country. I can only hope that the people of Japan can change their government for the better before Japan itself becomes the next 'Sick Man' of East Asia.

I have a feeling that it is unlikely that japan will intervene on taiwan as long as fukushima nuclear plants still leaking radiation, its just a missile magnet when conflict starts
Its just a bluff to please the americans
