Japan to Refocus Military on China

[Akasa]

"RE-focus"?

You mean to focus again after WWII?

Sure, we'll just re-focus some of our equipment, too, something called the "Dongfeng"? Heard about that?

You are one funny Indian comedian.

The disadvantage Japan has is --> Japan is too small in size.

You are too naive or lights are not burning that bright upstairs.
Japan's size was never a problem, unfortunately. Its small size didt stop it from defeating Russia in 1912 or invading China in 1930's or dominating SE Asia for much of WWII. FYI take a look at their naval strength.

Remaining parts of your post qualify as delusions of a fanboi.

That is exactly the right word to use... "unfortunately".

Have anyone considered the fact that this sudden escalation give uncle the opportunity to shift military base debate in Japan; will help justify keeping these bases in Japan? This escalation also design to help weapon sale and keep Japanese money coming.

Notice how every single Japanese victory took place 1860-1944; japan has never won a war before that and has never won a war since.

Beware of Japanese deception, they fooled American, attacked Pearl Harbor while negotiation was still going on. They denied Nanjing massacre ever happened. They told their children that they were in China to help the Chinese in WW II.

And despite the restriction imposed by their pacifist constituition which forbide offensive weapons, they have a navy more powerful than PLAN. They also wanted to send their soldiers to fight on foreign soil.

They called their destroyers "frigates" in Japanese characters, and they called their helicopters carriers "Destroyers" to go round restrictions imposed by their pacifist constitution. I wonder what they will call their air craft carrier if they built one in future, probably will described it as "Logistic Support Ship", hahaha.....

And don't get fooled by their non-nuclear arms capability. They have technology and enough stockpile to assembled nukes in months.

They also called their whale hunting ships "scientic research ship" for hunting whales for "scientific research", which ended up on the supermarket shelves and dinning tables in Japanese kitchens.

Do not trust the Japanese hiding behind their pacifist pretence, right now they deployed only small number of tanks, warships and jets, but they can easily mass produce them in short notice with their advance automated factories and hundreds of thousands of industrial robots.

Maybe we should call our nuclear submarines "mini-submersibles" and our Type 071 LPDs "patrol boats"

The Japanese Maritime Self Defense force is not more powerful than the PLA-N. The only slight advantage they have right now (assuming we don't induct the Type 052D and Type 054B) is their Arleigh-Burke copy and their helicopter carrier.

Except the USN, i don't think any other nation's navy can be threatening to China.

 

[applesauce]

there only 2 advantages japan has, better tech and having the US as an ally.

otherwise every other advantage goes to china(money, population, manufacturing)

like the us in ww2, china can out-build japan today 5 to1, 5 type-52c vs 1 kongo,

 

[Ganguly]

Japan is bigger than Germany, Malaysia, Vietnam, Norway, UK, Italy, Romania, Bangladesh, North Korea, Cuba. It is not that small.

Re-militarization of Japan would signal the first shot across the bow by the US against the PRC. I don't see how our other Asian brothers who've experienced the wrath of Japanese militarism would tolerate it even under a US security umbrella.

If the leash was taken of Japan they would in a decade or so explode into a 1st tier military power. They have all the chips in place. I just hope their people and this generation in particular remember the bitterness of war and the sorrow and misery it brings.

and what use is a navy, when all of japan is within fighter range of china? we can make J-11, J-10, or DH-10 cruise missiles as fast as we make trucks and bicycles and just bomb their navy into submission. Air force is the present and the future, the Navy is only powerful because it can support a more mobile air force.

Because the second China attacks Japan it will be destroyed by the United States, a country just a tiny bit farther than Japan

Think a little harder there, guey!

Nope, USA for the sake of its own people, she won't go on war with China because of Japan, the so-called military alliance is just show off.

Even Japan does understand if she wants to confront China, then she can only rely on herself. That's why the military escalation is supported by their right-wing politicians.

sure if the US wants to return to the nuclear stone age along with us, then we'll beat them in sticks and stones warfare with superior numbers.
