I don't get the recent glass-hearted chinese episode.

They've been churning out military propaganda saying their might would rival USA, yada yada.
Then negara kecil like Japan cakap mau involve militarily suddenly the chinese start cyring.
Why? Can butt heads with superpower military the size of US but suddenly becomes an issue with Japan's?

Not like Japan was previously China camp but turned traitor for US either. Them taking US side is pretty much expected.

i dont think you understand the gravity of how much Chinese suffered during Japanese Occupation by calling them "glass hearted" over WW2 matters

bro, they lost over 30mil people during that occupation, and you wonder why are they angry when people are glorifying the other side

>30mil
Sounds like the number of deaths during the great leap forward, are they equally that angry about that also?

Anyway China been hating on Japan for WW2 since forever, the recent glass hearted episode I was talking about is on the Japan's Taiwan stance.

Tell me honestly, if Taiwan occupation ever breaks out, do you think Japan would NOT take US side geopolitically?
This is just Japan being upfront rather than them taking the obvious stance later when all hell breaks loose.

Nothing has changed other than that front.

Actually are they saying they can rival USA. Yes, they are showing off a lot of their new military assets but if you read the reports coming out from US, it is US themselves keep saying China is catching up and they need to spend big on their military. There are 2 reasons why China is promoting their military assets. First, it's to warn others they are not pushovers anymore and secondly, it's all a marketing campaign. Arms sales are a very lucrative biz.

As for this case, what do you think will happen if a German football player hold up a Nazi soldier picture?

About Taiwan issue, what is the official stand of Japan? Still one China policy? Even US don't outright say they will defend Taiwan if China invades. US policy has always been strategic ambiguity when it comes to Taiwan. Why is Japanese PM statement so controversial to China?

The last time Japanese troops are in China's territory, you know what happened, right? Taiwan was forcibly taken from Qing Dynasty and it's a major national humiliation. Japan are basically saying they will go to war with China if Taiwan is attacked. For CCP, the line they cannot tolerate is Taiwan declare independence. So, it's like Japan supporting Taiwan to declare independence.

Hati tissue? You do that to any countries and see what will be their response  whistling.gif

Again, back when Japan didn't say it outright, whose side do you think they'll take when shit hits the fan?
Taiwan's economy is a unique national interest lucrative to everybody, if it didn't exist most other countries wouldn't care either.

If Germans today all say hail Hitler and celebrate Hitler day... You think Americans and rest of world will just say oh it's good you're just honouring those who died.

Get real.

I'm talking about Japan's Taiwan stance and the modern day geopolitics (and their vested interests) but people kept going on about 'muh WW2 deaths'.

Do you know what is US policy on Taiwan? They never officially abandoned the one China policy and the stand despite all the war hawks in US today is still strategic ambiguity. Will US really go to war with China over Taiwan? Even Taiwanese themselves don't believe US will send troops to defend their island.

Japanese PM this time seriously blundered by making such a statement but because of face, she can't back down anymore.

But I'm not talking about US am I? I'm talking about which alignment Japan takes. They certainly cannot take China's side.
Back to my point, why are the chinese surprised pikachu and butthurt over something so obvious? You guys were never friendly to begin with.

Whether it's detrimental to them in the long run is a separate issue and is for them to deal with.

Unofficially if you want to take the stand, it's your choice. Officially, you take that stand is just politically stupid.

Like I say before, is Taiwan really more important than China to Japan?

China and Japan have a massive trade relationship, with a total trade volume of $292.6 billion in 2024. In 2024, bilateral trade between Japan Taiwan reached US$72.3 billion.

You tell me lah, is it worth sending your men to die at a war that has nothing to do with you? This is the same questions a lot of Americans asked too.
