Well, if the Japanese leadership and their Nippon Kaigi supporters insists on intervening in China's Armed Reunification, then Japan is picking the wrong fight.
China today is not the weak China ruled by the declining Qing dynasty when Meiji Japan started it's imperialism project there. It is also not the divided and chaotic China of Chiang Kai Shek that Hirohito Japan could invade and committed untold crimes and murder.
At present, Japan's understanding of China is seriously lagging behind.
Their media have been using various self deceptive methods to portray a wrong image of China to the ordinary people.
This video mentions the current weird practices in Japan:Their white paper only counted the number of strategic weapons that China showed up in the parade.
This is a rather strange practice. They seem very afraid to let the public know that their neighbors are much stronger than themselves.
Isn't fukushima daiichi reactors still spewing radiation till this day? Couple of dozen hits from DF-ZF, will be the curtain for japan, will they really risk that for taiwan? I somehow doubt it, unless harakiri bullshito still prevalent in japan lol
These people will always presuppose a condition that is favorable to them.
This article gives a comprehensive evaluation of the best-selling Japanese comic book "kuboibuki/空母いぶき".
This is a very bad comic. The crazy degree of the story can be compared with Top Gun2. The author has no modern military knowledge at all.The final outcome is rather absurd. I think the author has no idea how to make Japan win, so he had to use a method no one would believe: strafing the deck of a Chinese aircraft carrier with F-35B‘s cannon.
But one commentary mentions an interesting detail: why Chinese use airborne troops to capture Yonaguni islands that have no defensive value? Because this is what is envisioned in Japan's defense program.This means that the cartoon has a very strong official promotional background.
They will imagine some preset battlefields that are favorable to them, and then defeat powerful enemies with their "advanced technique"and "courage".Of course, they will suffer some initial losses, but this will be blamed on an overly conservative defense strategy(for example, without the permission of the prime minister, they can't even stop enemy launching missiles), and then these JSDF officers will ask the Japan to change the constitution so that they can fire on the "invaders".
Many retired officers of JSDF wrote some literary works with similar plots in an attempt to publicize the necessity of amending the constitution.
As for ASBM? They either try to keep it out of the story, or they think it's useless.
Take a ride in China

This person has aroused the concern of some people: the ambassador seems to be good at propaganda on the Internet and has received some praise. I'm afraid he's another Jon Huntsman or Gary Faye Locke
