China is a vast area which the chinese have problem managing.
the only time anybody from China tried to invade Japan was during
the Yuan Dynasty, the mongolian, but their ships never hit the
shore of Japan.
Japan is a group of islands full of volcanos, 80% is
unsuitable for agriculture or residence. It is always the fear
of the Japanese that their islands would sink when their volcanos
erupt and tsunamis( a jp word!!) occur. That is why they
colonized the 3 provinces in north east China, tried to conquer the
whole China, but was never successful in conquering China even
at the peak of their power. So land seizure for China is waste of
time and for Japan is impossible.
If they decide to blow each other up, it does not take much to
blow up Japan. one nuke each on the 4 main islands of Hokkaido,
Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu is enough to send at least half of their
128 million population on boats to America. What would America do,
nuke China???
How would the ethnic chinese in america react if america
nuke china because of japan?? if the yankee can't handle the muslim
suicide bombers, can they handle the Chinese there? they can only
suck eggs unless they are bullet proof or bomb blast proof.
War today is no longer a fight in the colosseum between the
gladiators, politics, history, culture...have significant
influence.
