Japanese peace activist Seishi Hinada talks about the policy of militarization pursued by the Fumio Kishida government and the campaign against US bases in Okinawa
China is not a potential threat for East Asia, China is a potential threat to the US and the US wants to control East Asia and Japan works a checkpoint to keep that region in place.
That’s a weird way of seeing it. Aside from the fact that a potential invasion of Taiwan from China is a threat to the whole world (you know, chip production and all), China is very much acting like a threat to the whole South and East Asia region. Let’s see:
Japan: China keeps entering Japan’s air space and keeps claiming that the international waters in the East China Sea are theirs, disrupting commerce with Taiwan and other Asian nations.
South Korea: China supports North Korea, which means that South Korea is against them full stop, and sees them as an existential threat.
Taiwan: no comment
Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia: China has been claiming the South China Sea as theirs for last few years, building military bases in these nations’ sovereign waters on artificial islands and threatening their commercial activities in the region.
It’d be better if everyone just stays home and stops trying to invade other countries, and that also includes the US and Russia. Just stop, everyone go home, respect each other’s waters and territories and trade. This fucking need to build an empire is fucking stupid.
I think actually if USA is serious about a war with China they will only command Taiwan to jump under the bus and declare independence, the actual country that will fight against China like Ukraine against Russia will be Japan (and SK’s Army). Taiwan can be cut off from USAs wunderwaffles supplies by NPLA and its economy is not as strong like that of Japan if they want them to fight until the last Japanese ;) . Also the mental preparation is already there (where in Taiwan they would rather wonder after a while why they should fight other Chinese).
Saying Japan or SK would fight is a weird way of putting it, since they would be following orders from the US, but I guess I agree with what you say. This scenario is an unwinable one since they also have not been cultivating a strong movement as was the case in Ukraine, where the CIA has bern training units since the Maidan Coup, and also Taiwan being so isolated and so much smaller. Plus China would have Vietnam and NK as allies which would difficult a lot the Japanese and South Korean armies.
