implessive

Yes

Zero. They haven't been in a war for over a generation and their military is not full of their best people because military is looked down upon in Japan. They practiced a lot with the US but that's not enough. In the first days/weeks of a conflict, they'd suffer massive losses.

attrition, they have sufficient spirit to resist until the Chinese kill themselves through sheer incompetence.

They are getting there. They have been doing training ops with the US and have been gearing up production of (((helicopter destroyers)))
What they really need to do is to uncuck their constitution

>they have sufficient spirit to resist
I don't know, it's not 50s anymore

>military is looked down upon in Japan
It's sad to see Japan become like this.

lol this is objectively false.

Their military is tiny so they can afford to be extremely selective. Officer selection is MUCH harder than in the US. It isn't looked down on at all.

Having said that, they still have no chance without US help... which they would get, so they'd be fine. Hence all the bases.

It comes down to whaf type of conflict youre talking about. An unrealistic/total war scenario? Well yeah, Japan probably wouldnt survive.
A realistic flashpoint/containted campagin? Odds are in Japans favor, heavily.

You cannot talk about any hypothetical Chinese-Japanese contlicts without talking about 7th Fleet. Their HQ is literally in the country.

>7th fleet
>The one that hunts merchant ships during peace time

By itself no, but realistically all they need to do is hold the line for a few hours and the US will come from multiple bases in the country and nearby countries and stomp them.

the wayward provinces of japan and korea have nothing to fear from the mainland. all they have to do is come into chinas loving, prosperous and generous arms and they will be rewarded immensely just as Hong Kong and Tibet have.

The F-35, which Japs have been hoping would counter Chinese air supremacy in the region, has already fallen into the hands of the Chinese:

lmao china is losing its allies

>They haven't been in a war for over a generation and their military is not full of their best people because military is looked down upon

Literally the same as China. In China the PLA is seen as a place that poor bums go, everybody wants to go work/study in the West which is the ultimate sign of success. In asian countries in general there is absolutely no respect for the military. MAYBE Indonesia is the only exception.

t. chinese american who goes to china almost every year.

More realistically itll be 1-3 days for an immediate response force, and an extra 4-10 for a decisive battle force

Singapore is solidly in the US camp wtf are you talking about.

China has basically no friends in the Pacific. Even Indonesia is going more towards the US due to their island grabbing.

Tho I guess they have Cambodia.

In Indonesia, soldiers are seen as robbers, thugs and rapists, the Indonesian navy spends half of its time carrying out piracy while the army sells its services to the highest bidder and takes part in clearing squatters/breaking up strikes on the pay of big corporate plantation and mine owners.

In Aceh, TImor Leste and West Papua, the Indonesian Army has an even better reputation

>Singapore is solidly in the US camp wtf are you talking about

Make no mistake, Singapore is a Chink satellite and the day after they take delivery of the F-35 it is flying straight to the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation

>t. person has never been to Japan

Weird how recruitment JSDF wide has been upfor a decade, Air/tank shows are always sold out, and the Bodai is one of the most prestigous schools in the nation. All this while the budget continues climbing, newer and more equipment is purchased, and the overall size of the JSDF grows.

It hasn’t become like this. That user knows fuck all about the nips.

This on all three points.

Literally not the same. The japs run a very professional, well equipped, and well trained force.

>chink shill quotes himself and coworkers opinions

The post.

JASDF F-15s are being wrekt in the engagements over the East China Sea by the more poorly trained Chinks in J-11s

The Japs are fucking incompetents

>things that happen in my imagination are real

realistically, they dont have to win or even match the chinese forces

they only need to hold them off long enough for NATO to mobilize a force to take china out, while the SDF lives up to their name, they defend themselves

japan has one major advantage, they dont need to attack china and they can rely on US back up
acting defensively, they can at least keep the chinese off their own soil
china would also need to invade a suitable springboard to invade japan first, giving japan a good idea where they might land and fortify there

china would eventually triumph from the sheer size of their military
but this would ignore the greater political scope of their actions
japan would very quickly cease to be threat in light of a much bigger NATO response

>It's sad to see Japan become like this.
Blame US. After the war, US made Japan enact a bunch of laws that made the military extremely weak and next to non-existent.
>Their military is tiny so they can afford to be extremely selective.
Japan can't even fill the minimum yearly quota to keep the military at the same level as the year before. It has nothing to do with being overly selective.
Maybe so but China has the ZERG-RUSH effect and they can afford to learn through fire.
LOL'd. See pic.

Just that the F-15s were Japanese F-15J in reality. The mock-dogfight with mutual radar locks indeed seemed to have happened and it ended with the Japanese dumping chaff and disengaging.

And the shills appear like clockwork.

Zerg rush only works if they have the capability of transporting their zergs. Chinese lack the air and sealift capability to invade Taiwan let alone attack japan, even in a hypothetical where the US doesn’t exist.

It's technologically more advanced and army is more professional than the Chinkertons, any landing attempt could be fought off barring a HUGE fleet of thousands of boats and 1M men, which could be spotted beforehand easily anyway

No, they will get swallowed whole.

Assuming it's not your average confrontation about fishing and EZ you can safely count the US as part of the Japanese OOB, or should I say you can count the Japanese as part of the American OOB?
With that in mind, Japan's Navy is mostly geared around quick response and ASW. Their ASuW is quite lacking and their main role sees them act as support elements of American fleets while taking a little more control in the above mentioned missions. Generally speaking, neither Navy nor Air Force can deal with China on its own but they don't have to because the Chinese can't deal with the US on its own. Having Japan, and possibly South Korea, operate in the same AO as well will only make things much harder for China. Allies are a precious thing and allow the US to concentrate on the heavy lifting.

gotta hunt somethin

Not a chance.
China has nukes; Japan has none.
Two DF-31 striking, unironically, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, again; this time with 1Mt. That's all it takes.

>I have no idea what I'm talking about.

China couldn't even invade Vietnam properly in the late '70s, and they are fucking border to border. I doubt they could launch a massive naval invasion, the Chinese military always underperforms in the extreme.

kys commie chink these sarawakians were literally doing illegal logging.

its nice to see chicom doing its job spreading fake news while our armed forces has been reformed heavily in 20 years. i hope second tiananmen succeded just like our 1998.

Destroy communist party of china and Break the wall.
灭掉中共,推倒防火长城

>muh western countries will save japan

Wasn't this china's angle on things during the opening years of ww2? back when they were weak af? I believe the chinks will flatten the nips if it ever comes to unless the west gets involved (and they probably will)

China struggles to keep a bunch of peaceful monks under control. Nobody is afraid of China.

>military extremely weak and next to non-existent.
>third best navy on the planet
HMMMMM

lmao tiny little japan will beat its historically behemoth brother? They had a TINY hcance at it 70 years ago when chinka was at its weakest and they still failed, even with the highly millaterised society of the times.

Except of course that this comparison is idiotic because Japan, with Britain and Germany, is a key strategic ally. There is no "probably" in this question, the US would intervene. Not doing so would mean that every allied nation, not just important ones, begin to question America's ability and resolve.
Make no mistake, Japan is the most important allied nation in the Pacific and not just important as a staging area but also as one of the key pieces of America's defensive strategy. The loss of Japan would be among the worst defeats in US history and is absolutely unacceptable as it directly cuts into the ability to control the Pacific and therefore North America's Western border.

China would have never pushed out the IJA if America hadn't beaten Japan for you. It would've sucked for Japan but at least they would've kept the coast and Manchukuo for sure.

Yes, very much so.
The chinese would have very little hope of getting boots on the japanese mainland.

UK defended itself from Germany and I'm pretty sure Nazis were more competent than Chinks.

Oh yeah, because China is so experienced at wars and won so many of them.

Absolutely retarded comparison.

>Not doing so would mean that every allied nation, not just important ones, begin to question America's ability and resolve.
Just as a little FYI most of us are having some pretty serious doubt about that ever since Trump got elected. That he tried to throw South Korea under the nearest bus the moment Kim-sempai took some notice of him didn't exactly help either. Then he tried to do the same with the Kurds just because he got bored talking to the goat fucker...

Japan does not have the capability to bully China, China will always use the superior Chinese Navy only for defensive purposes. Unlike bullies like Japan and American, China will only defend Chinese islands and historically Chinese claims. China is a peaceful nation that only puts what's best for humanity in front of everything.

Doubt it. But I do hope Japan can enact Rape of Nanking Part 2 before they go down.

Japan only has to resist long enough for the USA to come along and curb stomp china into the stone age. So yeah, considering that china has no capability for invading japan, Japan has an extremely good chance of defending itself against the paper tiger.

I know this is a troll and all but "historic Chinese claims" is the entire globe

No.

journal-neo.org/2019/01/11/why-is-japan-so-bitter-about-unstoppable-rise-of-china/

Japans pretty much a dead country now thats been reduced to Americas eunuch.

Every time Japan looks to China today, they only see what they could have been if they won.

They gutted their own economy in the 90s after deal that America forced them to sign because they were about to overtake America, and because of that, they have no space program, no nuclear weapons, no indigineously designed warships and no 5th gen fighter.

Delusional. Forced them to sign? Their massive debt to GDP and demographic decline is our fault? Whose is to blame, the average Japanese allows his military to be so cucked, or a country that would wholeheartedly welcome article 2 being revised?

>The one that is haunted by merchant ships
ftfy

>this level of denial

Baring nukes, yes. They have the 2nd best military in the region after the US and China has been shitting itself and doing a 180 after Japan started making moves to allow offensive weapons.

Ding Dong Truong van Goy its 2019 and even you gookoids can use the internet to find out your niggers had your ass saved by Americans and didnt win shit as they teach you in gookoid history class.

>I have no fucking clue what Im talking about but I watched some Chinese cartoons about implessive nippon banzai

bomb the indians and take their casinos

Yeah, Japan is far further away from China than UK from France. It would be much harder.

What about that occupied Tibet insect-kun?

Hello Chang.

>everybody wants to go work/study in the West which is the ultimate sign of success

Why is this? I mean, how do chinese people perceive the west and how do they perceive China in this respect?

Do they have an "imaginary" west that they want to go to, just like weeaboos of 2010s wanted to go to Japan?

Hey at least it's not Vietnam, they still use Vietnam war era weapons to this day and tons of old rusty shit.

>They haven't been in a war for over a generation and their military is not full of their best people
Are you talking about Japan or China?

Yes, Chinks, like Russians, can't win offensive wars. Something in their mongol genetics makes them terrible at war.

>Maybe so but China has the ZERG-RUSH effect
And how the fuck are they going to get those troops to amass for a zerg rush? Spend the next two weeks ferrying them in with their woefully under-equipped transport network, hoping to all shit that missiles from a dozen hostile nations don't obliterate all 10 of their dedicated heavy-lifts during this?

I could be wrong, but it's my understanding that it's more of a pragmatic money thing. They can make more money in the west than if they stayed in China.

Yes, Japan has one of the best militaries in the world and a top tier navy. A defending nation always has an advantage. And since Japan is an a series of islands it increases that bonus.

>dumbo retard thinking China pushed Japan out of Manchuria

>Baring nukes
U.S. nuked Japs, twice. They're basically a test site for nukes since then.

>Detaining in Malaysian territory

Fucking Indonesian monkey

>China is estimated by the Federation of American Scientists to have an arsenal of about 260 total warheads


>Japan has 13 cities with more than a million people, 190 cities with between 100,000 and 1 million people

Which means China can wipe out all cities in Japan, pretty much.

Yeah, hold for a bit until the US comes in.

The Japanese are pretty well maintained all things considered, not to mention they would only be on the defense with a ton of US support. Considering China’s latest military track I’d say Japan is more than fine in such a situation aside from
>LOL NOOKS
which would completely defeat the purpose of an attack on them and have the entire planet condemn China into oblivion.

If China nukes Japan, the USA will eliminate what's left of Chinese culture and it's people.

It's safer in the ocean than on/in anything made in China. Their architecture and machine designs are literally african tier. I'd rather walk around every city in africa carrying gold bullion than ride a chinese escalator.

Indonesia is a fucking joke. The Indonesian armed forces only knows to extort, take bribes, play bodyguard to some foreign companies, kill and torture civilians.

The only places that Indonesia is able to annex are places inhabited with primitive niggers lacking modern weapons. And even with that you fucking fags are only able to do that because of the blessing of USA and Australia.

Shittiest armed forces in the SE region barring Brunei.

Not if Japan attacks China first, and then China retaliates with nukes. So China must provoke Japan... which is easy , given japs' perpetuate butthurt over lost war.

There are American bases on Japanese soil. Nuclear attack on Japan means nuclear attack on USA and instant retaliation.

Nobody is even taking nuclear war threat seriously at this point. That's why a gigantic country like China has so few warheads.

Conflict between world powers can happen but it's not going to escalate to nuclear. Nobody gains anything with a nuclear war.

>first 5 posts restate your opinion w/ zero evidence or anything to back it up
>last post is a complete retard posting the exact opposite of what actually happened
Real convincing tardo

I can certainly contribute significantly to a joint US-Japanese defense of itself. The JSDF is not a small military by any means.

Why in the name of fuck would Japan attack China?

In what fantasy land would Japan attack China?

>this cope
