in fact i was talking about industrial technologies for china. but japan is different. You used to buy these computers during the age of the soviet empire. and guess which is the greatest ally of the japan in those days? Can it be USA? So please be objective while you discuss about military affairs. if usa didnt allow japan to sell you all that stuff, you wouldnt be able to fly even a single new generation aircraft. nevermind the satelite systems...
So shall we go on discussing about russian ''electronics and aviation'' and other high tech. toys? if you depend on another country like japan for your ''proud army'', you cant be considered as %100 independent.
i know, in this global world it is silly to talk about % 100 independence. but military technology is a key thing and it can be the salvation of a country. Now please be objective, japan american alliance and japanese computers for soviet defence industry... is this logical?
