Hmmm. I still would be quite interested to see if Japan has to guts to try and do what they did to China in Nanjing. I seriously dare those bastards to actually try and while they do so, try to muck around in Taiwan since really, every time some one brings up Imperial Japan, I always feel they those bastards got of easy for what they did for Nanjing and how much the USA deserves to suffer for getting in the way of Chinas vengeance. It makes my blood boil

I said this before, but Nanjing is only one of the many countless atrocities, sufferings, and humiliations Imperial japan inflicted upon China and Chinese people.
Hold on to the anger, let it drive you, but do not allow it to cloud your reasoning. We Chinese are smart. We will continue the great work of the past 40 years in steadily building up the motherland's industrial and military strength. When the time is right, and the balance in the pacific has swung so laughably in China's favor, this blood debt will be repaid to Japan in full.
China is unlikely to cross the high income threshold this year. Inflation is so high in "advanced" economies that the threshold will likely have to rise by 10%. China's nominal growth and RMB depreciation won't be enough to cross the new threshold unless we see some big appreciation again later this year
Well, if we look at what a handful of S300s can do regarding holding back Russia's whole air fleet which is several times larger than the Jap one, then its not like Japan can even reach anywhere on China except maybe Taiwan island since it is not entirely defended by PLA.
And if air attack is not possible, any attempts at ground based terrorism would even more not work. 100k japs can swim to shanghai?
I seriously doubt modern Chinese soldiers have the required mentality to personally go around with bayonets and stab Jap civilians in their home cities. But if Japan invades, China can and will flatten Japanese cities with missiles and airpower to demoralise and get them off China's back. Given high population density and heavily centralized critical infrastructure, the results will not be good for Japan.
Japs are more stubborn than SKoreans because Japan was never denazified after ww2, while SKorea was "only" controlled by the fascist Syngman Rhee, not the nazist "pan asian" ideologies of Hirohito, Kishi and Tojo.
But there's a reason SK pursues non conflict status with China, because they know if they aid an invader, China will respond with severe force, which is not good if they want to remain populated. Japan will probably "see the light" soon as well and abandon imperial plans, not because of morals, but because of survival.

Taiwan seeks deeper ties with Germany to counter authoritarianism
German parliamentary delegation head visits island, calls it 'important friend'

TAIPEI (Kyodo) -- Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Monday sought to deepen relations with Germany in response to Russia's aggression against Ukraine and Chinese pressure on the democratic self-ruled island.
In a meeting with a German parliamentary delegation in Taipei, Tsai warned of the global spread of authoritarianism and said, "It is precisely for this reason that all democratic countries should unite and cooperate to jointly defend values such as freedom and democracy."
Video of the meeting was released by Taiwan's Presidential Office.
Citing other common challenges such as COVID-19 and climate change, Tsai said Taiwan looks forward to deepening cooperation with Germany in various areas and jointly safeguarding justice, peace and ecological sustainability.
The German delegation is led by Klaus-Peter Willsch, who heads the Germany-Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Group.
Tsai thanked the delegation for visiting Taiwan at a critical time, which she said bore particular significance because it is the first visit by German parliamentarians since the COVID-19 pandemic began in late 2019.
Tsai also called the lawmakers' group and the German federal parliament an "important force for Taiwan."
Describing Taiwan as "an important friend of Germany," Willsch said through an interpreter that it is important for Berlin to engage in bilateral cooperation and exchanges with Taipei, especially by strengthening diplomatic relations.
On Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Willsch praised the bravery of Ukrainian men and women in defending their country, freedom and democracy.
As some have expressed concern that Chinese President Xi Jinping may imitate Russia and pursue military means to seize Taiwan, Willsch underscored the German parliament's opposition to unilateral attempts to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait.
"If Taiwan is under military threat, we will bravely stand up to assist Taiwan and support Taiwan," he said.
Willsch said the people of Taiwan should be very proud of their democratic development, which he said is "of great significance in Asia."
He also commended Taiwan for its economic performance, particularly with regard to semiconductors, saying that without them "global industry may have a big problem."
The seven-person cross-party delegation arrived on Sunday for a five-day visit.
The group will also meet with other senior leaders and visit the legislature, think tanks and security organizations.
