Chinese Economy: General News, Updates and Discussions

Japan is trying to employ this guessing game vs China where their ambiguois stance is meant to deter China from taking Taiwan. In reality I dont see either the US or Japan coming to Taiwans aid militarily, they know the cost would be too great which would unseat both of their respective governments.

Ordinary Americans and Japanese don't want to be defending another nation at the cost of losing their own soldiers.
 
There is simply no country in today's world order that can challenge or take on the might of China now. When China starts flexing its muscles, and takes taiwan, all these stooge states like phillipines, japan, etc will simply fall in line and go quiet.

Even the americans can no longer counter or fight with china, it would be a one-sided battle anyway, otherwise the mericans would've already done so. Theyre done and toast, and withering away slowly and will fade soon.

China is very very powerful not just economically, but militarily as well. If it wants to take taiwan today, it can, without any challenge. Anyone trying to take on the Chinese military is simply going to vanish....

All these countries are better off siding with neighbour China and not being a stooge to the americans and not stoking unnecessary conflicts and war. War will bring them only devastation
 
The evil woman wants Japan to intervene militarily if a conflict or war break out between mainland China and Taiwan, Japanese still fantasize that Taiwan is a colony of Japan, and China and Japan are still living in the early 20th century. Then all good, all Chinese are looking forward to the day for Japan to send troops to Taiwan strait to the war and China will take revenge of two centuries of heavy blood debts owed by the Japanese, and also finish off Japan islands too. The moron doesn't know what she is asking for.

For so long, I thought that Russia was 'evil' because it wouldn't return Japan's islands.
 
Japanese PM says something, and the Chinese are flipping out.🍿
 
These Japanese morons have repeatedly used the pretext of a so-called "crisis of survival of Japan " to launch foreign aggressions in the past, including invasions of China and other Asian countries, and also the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I guess these fools want mushroom clouds over Tokyo this time.
 
Someone dont know Chinese has a revenge-seeking culture, we dont really encourage forgiveness, for intance, according to Confucius:

Someone asked, 'Is it good to repay evil with kindness?' The Master replied, 'Then what should you repay kindness with? Repay evil with justice, and repay kindness with kindness.

Probably the only speical thing about revenage-seeking in China's culture is, our culture encourage us to seek revenage smartly not blindly, which means: do it at the right time.

"A gentleman's vengeance is never too late, even if it takes ten years."

"Should a grievance from nine generations past be avenged? Even if it takes a hundred generations, it should be."

If there is a China-Japan war in the future, I bet it will be once and for all style, japan has already recived 2 nukes from the US, so it is not even break the no-first-usage policy, Also, according to the United Nations' enemy clauses, as a defeated state in WW2, China can do whatever it takes to finish them off, and its perfectly justified even by UN, and the US, with its overhyped military power, better stay out of the trouble, that would be the smartest thing they do to keep their "superpower" status, they can still stick to fight the cavemen to show their military superiority.

This is information from the spokesperson's private account, not official information. However, it can be considered as an informal statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This means that China can legally recognize Russia's ownership of the Northern Territories, which are disputed between Japan and Russia. Currently, the Northern Territories are under Russian control, and China's official stance is to call for a negotiated solution, without formally recognizing Russia's claims. At the same time, it means that China can legally support the independence of the Ryukyu Islands (including Okinawa).
If Japan continues down the wrong path, these "possible options" will translate into China's official attitude and actions.

2. Administrative and Military:
On November 16, the China Coast Guard vessel 1307 and its flotilla entered the territorial waters of the Diaoyu Islands for patrol. This is a basic measure for exercising administrative jurisdiction. A possible escalation is that relevant Chinese agencies will begin landing on the islands and carrying out related construction tasks.

Earlier (November 11), a PLA Navy naval formation consisting of three warships (Type 055, Type 054A, and Type 903A) transited the Osumi Strait. It is anticipated that this naval formation may circumnavigate Japan.

Earlier (November 8), a Type 815A electronic reconnaissance ship had already passed through the Osumi Strait.

3. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a travel warning for Chinese citizens traveling to Japan. Currently, all flights from China to Japan are offering free ticket refunds.

On Chinese social media, most Chinese people remain relatively calm about this. We hope she will keep her word. "When the Chinese government begins to use force to unify Taiwan, Japan must send troops to help Taiwan. Don't be a coward at that time!"
We can take this opportunity to settle both old and new scores.

That much is obvious. Japanese spend a lot of money in India in infra projects and provide soft loans as a form of soft power. Japan wants India to be more active against China.
Interestingly, the judge in the court of "trial of Japanese war criminals" was an Indian. Who made many justments that are favorable to Japanese war criminals. Which offers room for right wing Japanese to deny Japanese crimes and responsibilities in the world war 2.

Not many people know this. Indian nationalists and Japanese expansionists were allies during world war 2
 
Japan was once filled with anti-West Japanese 15 years ago before the earthquake. The earthquake shifted conspiratorial Japanese away from criticism of the Americans to a trauma event to make them lap pets of the Americans. There was a kook named Benjamin Fulford that tried to capitalize on anti-West Japanese by saying this dude was leading an army of ninjas in Japan to fight the Americans. Benjamin was trying to capitalize on anti-American sentiment in Japan and trying to be the only leader of that to fight the Rockefellers. Fulford was likely a cia shill trying to lead the resistance in Japan against the Trilateral Commission and US hegemony. After the earthquake, the entire anti-West sentiment evaporated. Japan are full lap pets for the Americans.

China should take this seriously and do a full rearmament.

Japanese have real grievances against the Americans. From Nuclear bombs to Trump in the 1980s warning that the Japanese rival economy needs to be stopped.

Chinese today aren't really communist anymore, and it's definitely not the kind of totalitarian state from Mao's era. Individualism and everyday life there have become far more liberal. If a war ever broke out between China and Japan, leaning on communism as an ideology wouldn't work. The real driving force would be culture, and Japan has always been deeply collectivist. Jumping into a fight to aid Taiwan isn't realistic, but going to a war with China to defend Japan's own islands is an entirely different scenario.

An article in the PLA Daily warned that if Japan were to intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait, the entire country could become a battlefield.

Xinmin Evening News
2025-11-16 11:41 Shanghai Xinmin Evening News official account focus on

On November 16, the PLA Daily published an article on page 4 entitled "Calling for Military Intervention in the Taiwan Strait Situation Will Only Lead Japan Down a Path of No Return." The author is Xu Yongzhi of the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations. The article states that if Japan were to intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait situation, the Japanese people and the nation would be plunged into disaster due to the Japanese government's extremely dangerous and erroneous decisions: first, it would worsen its surrounding environment; second, the entire country would risk becoming a battlefield; and third, it would once again be nailed to the pillar of historical shame. Where does Japan's "confidence" in intervening in the Taiwan Strait come from, given its delusional attempt to stop a chariot with its bare hands and its challenge to the post-war international order? The full text follows—


Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi recently made blatantly provocative remarks about Taiwan during a parliamentary debate. Despite strong protests from China, Takaichi refused to retract her erroneous statements. This marks the first time a sitting Japanese prime minister has explicitly stated the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait, confirming the containment-oriented nature of Japan's recent military buildup efforts and exposing the Japanese government's wolfish ambition to interfere in other countries' internal affairs through military means, in violation of its pacifist constitution. Japan's various erroneous actions, including its threats of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait, will only lead it down a path of no return.

In 2015, Japan passed new security legislation, allowing the Self-Defense Forces to conduct joint operations with foreign militaries. This effectively rendered the pacifist constitution, which prohibits Japan from engaging in war again, ineffective. In 2022, Japan passed new "Three Security Documents," including the National Security Strategy, setting the goal of preventing neighboring countries from unilaterally altering the status quo and, if necessary, using force to resolve situations in a way favorable to Japan. Japan began building a large-scale offensive military force and long-term, high-intensity combat capability. This effectively altered the pacifist constitution, which prohibits the deployment of offensive weapons. Based on these strategic documents, Japan is simultaneously developing or deploying more than ten types of anti-ship and land-attack missiles with ranges up to 3,000 kilometers, renovating military infrastructure nationwide, and stockpiling large quantities of ammunition.

Previously, when asked why it was strengthening its military, the Japanese government would use the excuse of "the severe security situation in the surrounding area" to argue that strengthening the military was only "for self-defense," which on the surface did not seem to deviate from the "exclusively defensive" principle established by the pacifist constitution.

According to media reports, Japan's 2022 military buildup plan is primarily based on simulations of potential military intervention in the Taiwan Strait. However, Japanese leaders have consistently remained ambiguous on the issue of military intervention. Japan plans to revise its new "Three Security Documents" by the end of 2026, further increasing military spending to strengthen its capabilities in using and responding to new types of warfare, such as unmanned equipment. Sanae Takaichi's blatant provocative remarks confirm Japan's clear intention to conduct a large-scale military buildup in violation of its pacifist constitution, and expose the lies previously claimed by the Japanese government. With Takaichi's statement, how will the Japanese government explain this new round of military expansion?

Whether it's violating the pacifist constitution by expanding its military or raising the so-called "existential crisis," Japanese politicians have failed to inform the Japanese people of the true costs. It is foreseeable that if Japan were to intervene militarily in the Taiwan Strait, both the Japanese people and the nation would be plunged into disaster due to the Japanese government's extremely dangerous and erroneous decisions.

First, it will worsen Japan's surrounding environment. If the Japanese government persists in its course and once again becomes an enemy of the Chinese people, it will only exacerbate China's vigilance towards Japan's foreign strategy, and constructive and stable Sino-Japanese relations will be out of the question.

Secondly, the entire country risks becoming a battlefield. Japan has converted dozens of airports and ports, stretching from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, into dual-use military and civilian infrastructure. During a comprehensive military exercise in October of this year, the Self-Defense Forces used as many as 39 airports and ports for fighter jet takeoffs and landings and military transport. This demonstrates that if Japan intervenes in the Taiwan Strait, it will tie the entire nation to a self-destructive war machine.

Third, Japan will once again be nailed to the pillar of historical shame. The blatant provocations by Japanese politicians regarding Taiwan not only constitute a serious infringement on China's sovereignty but also give the international community a sense of the danger of Japan repeating the mistakes of militarism. Japan's war of aggression brought profound suffering to the people of Asian countries. As a defeated nation in World War II, Japan returned to China the territories it stole from China, including Taiwan. This is an inviolable victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and an important component of the post-war international order. Where does Japan's "confidence" in intervening in the Taiwan Strait come from, given its futile attempt to stop the tide and challenge the post-war international order?

Japan's attempts to intervene in the Taiwan Strait situation are not only a blatant trampling of international justice and an open provocation against the post-war international order, but also a serious damage to Sino-Japanese relations. The lessons of history are still fresh in our minds; if Japan fails to learn profound lessons from history and dares to take such risks, China will certainly deliver a resounding blow. After all, once someone starts playing with fire, how the fire spreads is not up to them to decide.

If your banana republic can build nukes, you assume Japanese cannot
Building nukes is not difficult. Much like mix a cocktail drink, you assemble all components together. NK built with 1960 technology. Hightec country as JP can do in 1 year. The most difficult parts are having enriched uranium or plutonium, timed explosives and long range cruise or ballistic missiles.

Economic, diplomatic, military pressure on Japan ok, but recognizing russian’s occupation is a very dumb move. That brings 0 benefit to China. Worse, will damage the relationship to JP beyond repair. Should think in the long term. The Japanese will stay there until dinosaurs return.

Lol, something you Vietnamese don't understand of Chinese history of dealings with Japanese and Russians for the past two centuries. Most Chinese rather be friends of Russia than Japan. Japan is the nation that did by far the most damages to China and sufferings to Chinese in recent times, followed by Britain and then Russia. Don't look Chinese views on Russia always from your colored German and also possibly certain Japanese lenses, they are two losers and criminals in WW II. You think Chinese should any how care about the Japanese feelings after their PM and other Japanese stating literally that they want to invade China again ? Get real.
