JAPAN - The most unfortunate country on earth.

A country that has a 1.20 fertility rate, and by 2030, it will become irreversible and only a matter of time, Japan as we know it will go extinct.

Even if they manage to overcome their reproduction level, they are permanently under the tight grip of the hegemon, who will never let it be free.

Any one that knows Japanese culture know for a fact that they are a very brilliant people, and they are for sure, nursing revenge on the US for two atomic bomb dropped on their cities. The US knows this, and will never release them from their vassalage.

If they manage to miraculously reverse their declining birthrate, become truly sovereign and not a vassal, they still have to face the Chinese, who harbour a deep hatred for what the Japanese did to them during ww2.

If there is one country that the Chinese people hate to a point of no forgiveness, it is Japan.

If you want to understand why the Chinese have such a deep, incurable hatred for their Japanese, then I recommend you to watch the movie titled ''Black sun - Nanking Massacre''.

I do not care which horror movie you have watched in your life, it comes nothing compared to what the Japanese did to the Chinese people. The Chinese soul was destroyed. Try to imagine any horror, and intensive evil you can do to a people, then multiply it x100, it still not close to what the Japanese did to the Chinese people.

And yet, there was no apologies from Japan, the US hid all Japanese crimes in exchange for research data, and the Japanese generals that did such horror still liver free till this day.

Up to this day, Japan still celebrate it. The Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, Japan is the primary source of international outrage from China and other East Asian nations because it enshrines convicted war criminals alongside Japan's war dead.

Now compare the Holocaust to Nanking massacre. Perpetrators where punished, and Germany today have showed total remorse for their evil deeds on the jews, but the Chinese didn't get that, and it was well hidden from the world by the US who is an accomplice.

If there is one country that will be nuked to dust by China, it is not the US, it is Japan. The Chinese have set a trap for Japan. IF they go to reunify with Taiwan and Japan intervene, then Japan is gone.

Japan fate is sealed. A tiny, crowded island with no resources, and the waterways for importation mostly controlled by China. Even if Japan exist, their trade with the outside world is in Chinese hands.

When Japan surrendered in WW2, its existence was merely to buy time for its final destruction by the Chinese, and we can only hope that China shows mercy, and prove that it is a superior civilisation capable of forgiveness.

Japan also hate China. The hatred between the two nations are mutual.

Even if there is a rematch today
Japan IS STILL whacking China

Japanese people STILL look down on the Chinese because in their mind, they are the alphas in the region (understandably so)

China is facing and staring at demographic collapse themselves due to their halfwitted one child policy

China / Japan Rematch ?

China no go wan try am

Not to even add that in addition to the Jaoanese, America will throw in the sink in Japans favour

And China going for Taiwan will put China in the same situation that the Russians are in with Ukraine

You really think the United States, Japan et al will sit back and let that happen ?

Taiwan will be armed to the teeth ans China will be in a Russia situation

Lets watch and see how it plays out

Anytime

When I read some of you hyping China up on this thread
Sometimes I just chuckle and laugh so hard

Like I always tell yall
China is today where Japan was 30 to 40 years ago
That's one

Two
Japan IS STILL a more developed country than China
And have higher living standards too

Three, raw unfiltered violence is not by sky scraper and "fast rail" , so your reference about my visiting China does not apply here

Qatar has all the shine shine and all, but Iran will whack them IF they get into open confrontation

Hamas was bombed in Qatar by Israelis and heaven did not fall

That was how they were hyping up the Russians
Now they are stuck in the trenches of Ukraine.

Let China make same mistake in Taiwan and then see how they will be able to occupy Taiwan

Lets be watching the season film as it unfold
Japan facing off with China?

It is typical Western hubris! I found his post to be very somehow, and I mean this respectfully. In a military conquest, today's China would defeat Japan comfortably, provided the US isn't involved. If we exclude weaponry, China has a lot of men head-to-head. The talk about China's demographics is meaningless, again, I say this respectfully. All developed countries suffer from demographic crises, most especially East Asian nations. It is not a China thing. It affects the entire region. Even North Korea has a lower fertility rate compared to Japan. In fact, low fertility rate is a global issue. Just that East Asian nations are in the acute stage. Chile has even joined them, so it is culturally neutral. Saudi Arabia, Iran and India have experienced declining fertility rates. Ditto for Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia.

China is the world's biggest trading partner and is the biggest trading partner of almost, or at least, the major countries. The Japanese had to plead for the resumption of visa-free access to China after it was removed because of Corona.

As for the Taiwan issue, I strongly believe the Chinese are biding their time and will go for it when they believe it is the right time. It will be a divisive issue across the region and indeed the world. What I foresee is Taiwanese becoming refugees in Japan. Any opposition to China's takeover would result in WW3, and no one wins in such a war. My suggestion to China is to wait it out for a decade or so, as the fertility in Taiwan is even way worse than in South Korea. Literally, Taiwan would have few able-bodied men. Mainland Chinese men need women.
Nonetheless, I believe Mainland Chinese elites will prefer a peaceful unification because of the precarious demographics of the Han Chinese group. The White man wouldn't mind having their population dwindle drastically as a result of any conflict.

Its more of China enter Taiwan first and see

Japan has no interest in dick measuring

Esp as China is still in its crass new money phase
And Japan is a been therr, done that

Its a question of if China will be silly to project that "power" they THINK they have in their figment of imagination in the region

Then the knives will be out
And China will have itself to blame

Status quo can still be tolerated
Crossing the line to "exert" and lessons will be learnt

Like Russia is learning now

The US is treaty-bound to enter any Japan-China conflict.

China would still win.
Japanese dominance in East Asia started in the Meiji era and ended in the 2010s.
Current Japan is to China what Korea used to be to Japan pre WW2.
Technological parity has made it an unfair match up.
China is too populous, too advanced, too wealthy, too ruthless.

Here is how I see the Taiwan issue.
China prefers peaceful unification.
But is preparing its military just in case.

On this planet, if you want something, you don't rely exclusively on the goodwill of the opposing party.
You hope for the best but expect the worst.
You ask nicely but prepare a big club to do damage if it has to come to that.

I don't see a war happening, but humans always surprise.

All these black men Chinese lovers and hypers sef

Una wan put China for problem

China will win Japan "comfortably"

Lmaooooooooiiii

The earlier China forgets its dream of annexing Taiwan. the better for them
If they let Taiwan be their achilles heel
They will regret it totally

Like I said
The knives will be out
And it will be too late

If they told Russia in 2021 that in 2025 they will still be bogged down in the trenches, who would have believed ?
This is a country that fought Taliban three decades before

Talk less of a paper tiger military that even India whacked when they had their border disputes
Chinese Military that is not capable for sustained offensive campaigns

Okay ooo

Well, at the end, we are all spectating
When the chips are down

China go learn lesson

Taiwan that was AT NO POINT in history a part of China

Na im the Chinese Communist Party wan grab

Hong Kong was once part of China, so a reunification in 2047 or so is very plausible and will draw less issues

But you see Taiwan
Mark it anywhere
That will be the Achilles Heel of China

Just as you, I prefer and do want a peaceful reunification. War disrupts progress, and I want to see China progress economically without bounds and disruption because an economically strong China enables Chinese businesses and investors to pour in funds across the developing world. Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Indonesia and Nigeria have been some of the beneficiaries.

So a rich and peaceful South(East) Asia is important for our eventual prosperity.

Gerrard59:

You keep talking of "economic strength" lol
Old money NEVER sees New Money as its peer/equal
Especially when there is a historical background to that effect

This one u are saying is just picture uou are painting in your head lol

And btw, what you posted up there is not accurate

Because despite some issues the Japanese are facing, their economy IS STILL RESILILENT even w/o Chinese money

And BTW, the Japanese are big time investors in the Chinese, American and even other countries in the region (go check how much of US treasuries the Japanese hold first) , and as at the last year I checked, Japanese investment in AfDB projects outstripping that of the Chinese

The USA is the main partner Japan doesn't wanna lose totally, thats why the PM (unfortunately) agreed to such asymmetric trade deal (you could tell from his face that he was not happy) and ultimately he got to resign and leave the seat.

China is like that kid in class who used to be seen as a "skrep" but somehow made something out of himself post uni, and is all in everyone's face trying to show that he has finally made it....

A skrep is still a skrep
You just became a skrep with some cash in your pocket

Anyways like I said
Lets be watching on the sidelines and see what happens

I disagree with those who say Europe was "forced" into a "junior partnership" with America

This is a continent that has CENTURIES of multi continental simultaneous warfare, even america is still learning the ropes in this regard.


The mistake I believe Europe made was believing that documents signed were sacrosanct, and Washington will always be led by level headed people

I mean Europe's input was key to the creation od the Bretton Woods neo liberal order we live in today, so what we talking bout ?

Its just that Washington has shown that all it takes is for one knuckle head to occupy that office and the norms go out the window.

Now Europe has seen it, they are now realigning themselves, which will be detrimental to America long term

Now that Germany under Merz has announced that they are rebuilding their military (his choice of words was even quite interesting) and realignment is going on in the continent, we shall see where that leaves Washington

Like I said in the quoted post, all it takes is for a knuckle head to take office and everything become zig zag

With the Chinese export ban on rare earths, alternative payment system, and the ongoing mistrust and pent-up grievances of the true international community, there will be less demand of the dollars leading to les global wars and democracy lecture.

There is a man in that saved the worlds silently in the 20th century.

Just as Mao Tse Dung saved the world from Japanese fascism and founded the new strong China of today, or Stalin that defeated nazism, or Mandela that ended Apartheid, this man saved the world from the greatest evil that threatens human existence.

The man that made African independence a possibility, multipolarity a necessity, and removed nations from the permanent grip of unipolarity, and hegemonic evil.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to Klaus Fuchs.

When the US gave Nazi scientist amnesty in exchange for military and nuclear secrets, Klaus Fuchs could foresee how dangerous the world would become if only one country have nuclear weapon.

He has witness the horrible catastrophe of colonialism, WW2, the death of his parents in the hands of horrible regimes, and realise that if he did not do something, the world will be in permanent chains.

He took the courage and passed the secrets to the soviets, and made sure the knowledge to make nukes is not only in the hands of Washington.

In a world where the only thing that is preventing a nuclear war is the understand of MAD (mutual assured destruction), a world where Washington is above international law, wage endless war all around the globe even proxy wars with nuclear powers, it should be left to imagination the state of the world if only Washington have the bomb.

This heroic act has been largely silenced by the mainstream, which goes to show that there is nothing noble about the noble peace prize, otherwise, Fuchs would have been the earliest beneficiary.

Disrupting Chinese investments in countries in the Global South.

The winners of the Nobel prizes have been announced, and two Japanese scientists won a prize each in Medicine and Physiology and Chemistry. Kudos to them and the country! The Nobel rewards research that has stood the test of time or groundbreaking research that have contributed immensely in a short time. This was with Demis Hassabis and Emmanuelle Charpentier in Protein Prediction and CRISPR respectively.

However, Japanese researchers, including this year's Nobel winners, have sounded the warning of Japanese scientists moving to China to work as there is limited capital in Japan, irregular research positions and a dearth of students. Interestingly, the majority of PhDs and post-docs across Japanese universities are foreigners, with Chinese constituting the majority.

See stats here: https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/people/article/3328351/japans-nobel-wins-shine-light-worrying-brain-drain-especially-generous-china

“Scientific research in Japan has slowed significantly since the beginning of the 21st century,” it added. “In contrast to China’s rapid progress, Japan’s international ranking in the number of high-quality papers published has fallen to the lowest rank among developed nations. The situation is critical.”

“I received an invitation from a Chinese institution about a year ago, but I never had any intention of going because I am a graduate of Waseda University and I really want to help educate the next generation of young scientists,” Hideyuki Sawada, a professor in the School of Advanced Science and Engineering at Tokyo’s Waseda University, told This Week in Asia.

“But a colleague who had been working at a US university was also approached at the same time, and he has moved to China. For him, a big part of the appeal was the huge amount of research funding that was available, a very good salary, really good laboratory facilities and the chance to work with other experts in his field.”

Waseda is the second top private university in Japan.

Chinese institutions were particularly keen to attract scientists in the areas of astrophysics and quantum physics, Sawada said, and had research budgets that dwarfed those available at Japanese universities and even private companies.

This insecurity is a factor in Japan falling from fourth in the world for scientific papers in 2000 to 12th in the world in 2020. In the same period, China rose from 13th place to outstrip the US to become the undisputed leader in 2020. Chinese researchers published more than 46,000 highly cited papers in 2020, nearly 10,000 more than US scientists.

“But yes, there has been a strong push from China to get Japanese scientists. They are going for the money, but also the more generous research environment, bigger and better laboratories, state-of-the-art equipment and more students,” he said.

“For a lot of Japanese universities, that is just not possible. Even at Tokyo University, we face problems. So it is clear why these offers from China are attractive.”

If the University of Tokyo cannot compete, then no Japanese university can compete.

The Chinese have surpassed every major power in scientific research, and as we know, scientific research is the bedrock for future developments. The 21st Century is Chinese.

In a world where the only thing that is preventing a nuclear war is the understand of MAD (mutual assured destruction), a world where Washington is above international law, wage endless war all around the globe even proxy wars with nuclear powers, it should be left to imagination the state of the world if only Washington have the bomb.

This heroic act has been largely silenced by the mainstream, which goes to show that there is nothing noble and the noble peace prize, otherwise, Fuchs would have been the earliest beneficiary.

So someone who passed state secrets to America's adversaries should be "given" the Nobel Peace Pirze

As much as it hurts me to say
America will rather BURN DOWN the planet than allow China outplay it in the global scene and/or edge them out of their reserve currency privilege
Madagascar president has just fled the country

Washington is making it clear to the global south that WHEN WE COME FOR YOU, China will not be there to save you, and I suspect that the leaders are getting the memo.

China sef too mumu, allies you have struggled to build and court, America is snatching them one by one and you cant save even one

😂😀🤣

It is heartening that you pro-West economic arsonists have finally dropped the mask.
Thank you for admitting that the side you cheer for would rather burn down the entire planet than allow shared prosperity.

China's global interests are not tied to individual regimes.
China has crafted an all-encompassing economic/foreign policy that is politically agnostic.
Whether Tinubu, GEJ, Atiku, Obi, or Kwankwaso becomes the President of Nigeria in 2027, China will remain Nigeria's largest partner.
Nigeria will be in BRICS and China will establish more factories and disburse more financing.

If Washington likes it should conduct regime change or sponsor destabilizing protests.
At the end of the day, when the new President and the protesters return home, 90% of the products in their homes will be either made in China or have Chinese components in them.
China is INDISPENSABLE. The incentives and interests align perfectly.

And as Gerrard59 repeats ad nauseam, China will not make demands, intervene, or attempt to foist alien cultures on you.
Even better, you can maintain your relationships with anyone else.
Nigeria imports most of its used vehicles from the US. China does not mind.
Ecuador exports its bananas to the US. China does not mind.
China does not operate with a zero-sum mindset.
Everyone can and should prosper.

And this, Mr, is why multipolarism is here to stay.
No one can put that toothpaste back in the tube.

Whether it is Madagascar or Nepal or Bangladesh or Pakistan or Mali, the citizens of these countries will decide who rules them.
Before they make that decision, while they're making that decision, and after they've made that decision; Chinese ships will bring the most cost-effective products, factories, and low-cost financing to them. With zero strings attached.

In China we trust, others can go to hell.
