Lmao… you guys are talking as if Japan is some poor third world backward sub Saharan African nation and not the worlds third largest economic power and one of the most advanced countries on earth (even ahead of Britain, France and other western countries outside the US) . So Pakistan, India, North Korea (and even South Africa, Libya, Taiwan once almost developed nukes but had to drop it due to presssure from the USA) can develop nukes and sustain it but you guys believe Japan can not? lol Seriously?
As I said before , the only Reason Japan and even South Korea have not developed nukes long ago is only because of US objections else they would long have developed nukes (and yes they can easily do so and sustain it obviously ,they are not some poor desperate country with a backward economy . lol To think other wise is being naive and even just old plain bias.)
so I still believe US presence is a stabilizing factor in Asia (and is still a good thing for China ironically to keep these 2 big powers(they are not insignificant countries ) Japan and South Korea in check and stop them from going nuclear(like Taiwan tried but was stopped by the US) and even demilitarizing. And no you guys should stop being stupid, even if Japan develop nukes China will not invade Japan, CCP will never even consider that, you guys should stop being paranoid and overreacting . The only place I see the CCP intervening militarily and launching a full scale invasion is if Taiwan declares independence. That’s THE ONLY Conflict CCP is likely to engage in this coming years if Taiwan goes rogue, but as long as the status quo remains it won’t happen. So let’s be realistic instead of using emotions/feelings.
Finally, we have to keep in mind that Trump so actually not that bad a president, unlike every other American president , Trump has never even called China a national security threat to the US, which is actually shocking when you think about it, since all American leaders until Trump have always pushed this narrative and explicitly stated that China is a national security threat and danger to the US. Trump by contrast is merely a business minded guy who thinks not just China but all American allies and non allies have been taking advantage of the US(in fact he believes American allies have been exploiting the US far more than China actually, which is something he publicly said just a week ago) ,so his actions are targeted at every other country not just China as we have seen with tariffs. I actually think Trump is someone China can negotiate with better than other US presidents. Plus he genuinely hates war and doesn’t want the US getting involved in far off conflicts outside US immediate neighborhood , he’s more of a Monroe doctrine advocate of keeping and focusing the US presence in the Americas and consolidating US power there than venturing around the world dispersing and spending vast sums to sustain an empire which is more and more untenable and unsustainable for the US , that’s what he believes. So overall he’s a fairly sensible and rational leader in this regards , even though he often does some sporadic and unpredictable things as well, but overall he’s a good leader for China.
