I believe Abe will demonstrate his ability as the leader of the #3 economic power of the world. The whole world is watching Japan, and any misstep will set back relations in the region for a decade.

I don't think the issue will be resolved unless Japan is willing to accept a lost. Afterall, what does Russia gain from returning all 4 islands to Japan? Stalin took over those islands for a reason, they are strategically important for Russia, a pillar to Russia's power in the pacific. It...

WOW Taiwan has quite the powerful air force for a country (or province to not offend Chinese members here) of only 22 million! China is not going to overtake Taiwan anytime soon.

China Russia are not allies. They sometimes team up in the UNSC because US has essentially 3 votes vs their one.

He was the mentor of Deng Xiaopeng, also one of the most influential person of modern history.

One thing to be admired about the Chinese is when they say they will do something, they usually do it. China said they will give their greatest effort in combating pollution, and not a moment wasted.

LOL, seems like the Japanese lady was hired by the Japanese Government to spew their POV, not her own POV.

I prefer to think of it as just being cost efficient and practical. US LCS cost over 500M I heard.

If UNSC is so evil, then why India want to join it so much? Honestly, India has been begging for UNSC permanent member ship since forever. If India doesn't like UN, why join it in the first place?

Those are way too expensive for their own good. Might be very advanced and capable, but when it comes to design philosophy, I prefer China's 056 Corvette design philosophy. 056 are cheap (60-75m each I read), easy to mass produce (25 produced already, and they just started in 2013), good...

Abe promoted the idea that he will reclaim the Kuril islands when he took office in 2012, but everyone knew it was unrealistic. What can Japan offer Russia for that deal? Russia has literally nothing to gain from giving those islands to Japan for free, and those are strategic islands that gives...

It was clearly an accident. Burma is a state where China has a significant sphere of influence. I don't think China will want to stir up any anti Chinese sentiment there.

Will japan actually participate in Korean War 2? Japan sat out the first one, and noone knows what will happen if Japan approaches the Yalu river. Might cause China to intervine as no Chinese will like to see Japan having any signifant political influence over mainland Asia again. Simply put I...

The 1979 Chinese-Vietnam war was a complete victory for China, there is no doubt about it. Very obvious if you consider the balance of power between China and Vietnam today. 1979 war is always a reminder to the Vietnamese that the PLA is right next door, and they can capture Hanoi in a week...

IMO, the Japanese politician of the past generation, such as Tanaka, Nakasone and Murayama, the people who actually lived through the WW2 period, understood that WW2 was an extremely sensitive subject and was always genuinely sorrowful and apologetic to the victims of Japanese aggression. In...

Waste of money IMO. Should build more submarines and anti air destroyers first.

Not really credible considering how it took India until 1947 to gain independence.

Estimates 10 million-20 millillion death due to Japanese aggression.

IMO the 1974 war was much more impressive. The cultural revolution devastated China sunk the much larger and better armed Vietnamese navy in Paracel islands using a few rusty old ww2 Soviet fast attack crafts. Almost inconceivable as the Vietnamese were using US destroyers and out tonnage the...

Pretty stupid article in my opinion. China is not planning a war against Japan.... Also, why would you invade Senkaku/Diao Yu? Land 100 troops on a deserted island in the middle of the nowhere? The soldiers will be bored out of their minds. and probably starve to death once high tide comes...
