Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "China vs Japan: Why Japan is Preparing for War?" video.

  1. A recent development on the economy of China versus Japan. While Japan's economy stagnated in the 1990s, China's economy is collapsing now. However, this video is about Japan's complex geostrategic situation as outlined. There is good and bad in this for Japan and the Japanese. Firstly as an island archipelago country, Japan's foremost defence rests on it's navy and air force. This is why the Japanese government needs to spend up big for these expensive items; warships and aircraft. Secondly, the quality of Japanese government and military is higher than that of China. Thirdly, as a democracy, Japan also has many allies while the CCP has none except maybe Russia. By the time the PLA attacks or invades Japanese territory or assets (such as ships or planes carrying the Japanese flag in international or Taiwanese waters), it will already be World War Three with a lot of belligerent countries involved, many of those allied to Japan. I think the PLA will have it's hands full from that point onwards. Already, with the recent PLA spy balloon crossing the United States, diplomacy is going to go from bad to worse. Maybe World War Three will start before the 2020s are over, in which case a unified allied military plan for invading the North China plain and taking Beijing might be in order. Let's call it Operation Overlord 2.
