Japan’s Anti-China Coalition Is Dangerous

Interesting development. With frequent tensions with east asian countries and China, this was bound to happen.

Your worry about Japan's resurgence is not necessarily ours. Don't drag us down with your.

The issue here is buddy. We are "concern" you are being used by Japan as a 1st line of defense in their attempt to drag us into war. You don't want to be the human shield, my friend. Our missiles can strike pretty deadly.

Not to mention by 2020s, J-20 will be invincible.

thats what I am saying give up the claim based on 9 dash line and all the countries which have dispute with china will work with china.

Why do you think the USA didn't ratify UNCLOS, my friend? Give me an answer.

You can't scare anybody with this, buddy. We know what is right and what is not, who is the aggressor and who is friend.

Not to mention by 2020s, J-20 will be invincible.

Stop masturbating.

This is why people don't take Vietnamese strategic thinking seriously because you lack basic understand of geopolitics and how foreign policy shapes regional peace and security. Let me give you a simple example that can escalate the region into conflict when Japan's supposed proposal to re-militarization and changing Article 9 constitution to come to the aid of ally. We all know that the current constitution allows Japan to defend itself and the US-defense treaty already cover that. We also know that the region has maintain unprecedented peace for over 30 years. Coincidentally, this time period we saw Japan played no major role in any security matter and with the US limit presence in the Asia Pacific. So the immediate question is why the need for Japan to re-militarize in their active pursuit of war with China? Japan Pacifist policy had play a crucial role in keeping Asia peaceful. Do you want to see Japan's false flag operation, just so they can drag the US in and war with us and make the whole region turn into hell? As you know, a militaristic Japan had a history of causing unprecedented damage and conflict in Asia. Japan had never shown in her history that a militaristic Japan is good for peace. Absolutely none. Nobody in the world trust Japan because they show no remote for historical mistake and Abe's revisionist on history is a testament to the danger Japan pose to regional peace.

We also care about huge expenditures of China into military and weapons. For peaceful purpose?

Is it not true that China threaten Japan, isn't it?

Japan never post an Asia map under their missiles ranges like your above post.

It's your neighbors right to prepare something for defending under your missiles attacks once you put their countries to risk

 

[TaiShang]

Is it not true that China threaten Japan, isn't it?

It is not true.

Japanese business delegation has just visited China.

Japan never post an Asia map under their missiles ranges like your above post.

They cannot do that under their pacifist constitution. That does not mean that they do not have any strike capabilities.

Japan can be more deadly than always shouting Pinoy and Vietnam.

Japan’s Anti-China Coalition Is Dangerous | The Diplomat

By Dingding Chen
June 03, 2014

In April 2014, Japan decided to end a half-century ban on the export of weapons, which the New York Timesdescribed as an attempt to “augment Japan’s regional influence by offering its technologically sophisticated defense hardware to other countries locked in territorial disputes with an increasingly assertive China.”

Indeed, last month Japan announced that it would provide patrol ships to the Philippines to enhance its capabilities against China. Then, in a speech last week in Singapore, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that Japan would like to play a leadership role in Asian security and help countries like Vietnam who have territorial disputes with China by offering patrol ships and other military equipment. Japan’s defense minister also met with Vietnam’s defense minister in Singapore to discuss cooperation against China regarding their territorial disputes. Moreover, Japan hopes to cooperate with like-minded countries like Australia and India to curb China’s assertiveness in Asia.

These moves underscore that Japan is attempting to build an anti-China coalition against the backdrop of the relative decline of the U.S. and a rising China. Worried that it would not be able to compete militarily with China, Japan hopes to assemble an anti-China coalition by building military alliances with countries that have territorial disputes with China. While it might sound rational from Japan’s perspective, this idea of an anti-China collation is dangerous for regional peace and stability and will ultimately hurt Japan’s national interests.

This strategy will generate two very negative consequences for regional peace and stability in Asia. First, by providing patrol ships and other advanced military equipment to countries like Vietnam and the Philippines, Japan is essentially encouraging these countries to initiate or escalate conflicts with China. In China this is called “火上浇油 (adding fuel to fire),” and it is not a wise leadership strategy. Vietnam and the Philippines might be emboldened by Japan’s help and miscalculate their chances of winning disputes with China. Indeed, given the huge gap between their military capabilities and China’s own military capabilities, any miscalculation might lead to grave mistakes that hurt Vietnam and the Philippines immensely. For example, what would Japan do if a war breaks out between China and Vietnam? Is Japan willing and capable of sending troops to help Vietnam against China? Any rational decision maker in Vietnam would not bet on this possibility. If Japan truly wants to play a leadership role in Asia, it should work as an honest broker among all parties to identify opportunities for de-escalation between China and its neighbors.

Secondly and more importantly, Japan’s strategy to build an anti-China coalition will essentially force China into a corner, as China would conclude that Japan aims to stop China’s rise by encircling it. The right strategy for Japan is to refrain from backing China into a corner. Cornering China is a very dangerous move as Beijing is still very much a defensive power mostly concerned with its own regime security and various pressing domestic problems. As Andrew Nathan and Andrew Scobell point out, China is still “a vulnerable nation surrounded by powerful rivals and potential foes.” This means that China is not an expansionist power as many in the West and Japan fear, thereby suggesting that a more engaging approach to China would be more prudent.

China is already too large and too powerful to be contained, no matter how hard Japan attempts to build a coalition against it. China’s military spending is now twice as large as Japan’s military spending; and the gap between the two will only increase as Japan’s economy continues to face uncertainties.

As to the territorial dispute between China and Japan, the best strategy for Japan is to acknowledge it and refer it to international law, or shelve it for later resolution, as a number of international and Japanese observers suggest. Although this prudent strategy would face strong domestic opposition, Japanese leaders must overcome such opposition because it is in Tokyo’s long-term interests.

Despite strong warnings from U.S. government officials, Japan made a serious miscalculation when it nationalized the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands in 2012, which resulted in China’s sharp response and later a co-administration situation over the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands, which is a victory for China and a loss for Japan. If Japan makes another grave mistake by encouraging states like Vietnam to form an anti-China circle, something worse would occur to Sino-Japanese relations and Asian stability and peace. Let us hope that wiser heads will prevail in Japan.

the article is the best joke of the day.
yes, anti-China coalition is dangerous, for China!

No surprise it is written by a Chin. When you read the sentences you can just feel the insecurity, fear and inferiority complex towards Japanese. It is also pathetic and self humiliating. If China doesn't want to get steamrolled, guess what? Then it should respect human life and respect other people's land and country. Simple as that. A normal citizen is not afraid of the police getting guns, a thief is afraid of the police getting guns..

Why Turkey invites China to build the high speed railway but not the local Tukish company?

 

[vostok]

Yeah, with its economy going down badly, Chinese will be enslaved by JPese again. Dark and doom future for all main land Chinese

Guys, you need to forgive Chinese, as we have forgiven Germans. War between China and Vietnam not beneficial to China and Vietnam - it is only benefits the United States. If you make an alliance with U.S. and Japan - it will be the biggest mistake in the history of Vietnam.

Have the chicom forgotten they put an oil rig in our water recently, along with warships and fighter jets?

the writer suggests Japan stays out and Vietnam surrenders. Peace for all is achieved. Chinese logic at best.

China bully all the countries in the world, not only Phil and Viets.

It is not true.

They cannot do that under their pacifist constitution. That does not mean that they do not have any strike capabilities.

The DF-xx can identify who is friend ?
is it not true that DF-xx missile range cover all around not focus on Japan only, isn't it ?

No, my friend, the biggest mistake was to trust the Chinese.
we mistakenly thought they wanted peace and prosperity. In reality they want to see us to be more dead than alive, as usual.
