China should just tolerate a growing fascist neighbouring country that has a repeated history of invading China. A few worthless hilly islands, and frozen waste land, which can easily be taken back if required, are a cheap price for peace at the border. What could go wrong? I'm talking about 1930s China of course.
Japan just absorbed Liuqiu and Korea, but they can't do serious harm to China unless China has a civil war or very poor governance. It's almost as if China has a history of recurrent civil wars in the past 5000 years, perhaps China should build an security environment that looks more than 10 years into the future.
Something something pan Asian union and Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Did you know China actually cheered on the Japs during the Russo-Japanese war, I'm sure sentiments like yours would have been common back then.
Early Chinese industrialists and pro Japanese factions thought the same thing, who doesn't love a market for Chinese goods?
The people trying to steal Xizang from China, are the same people who invaded Beijing over 100 years ago.

You don't have to subscribe to offensive realism to see why India is a growing problem for China.
As much as we love our Pakistani brothers, we are severely disappointed in your performance. China cannot rely on Pakistan as the counterweight to India anymore.
