"China has advised its citizens to avoid travelling to Japan, escalating a diplomatic feud sparked by comments from Tokyo’s new prime minister about a hypothetical attack on Taiwan.
Sanae Takaichi told Japan’s parliament on 7 November that the use of force against the self-ruled island claimed by China could warrant a military response from Tokyo. Japan has since said its position on Taiwan – just 100km from the nearest Japanese island – is unchanged." - The Guardian, November 15, 2025.
If Japan were to commit military suicide to advance U.S. interests in the Pacific in a war against China, taking on the role of Ukraine in that region, then shame on them. The Japanese should be smarter than that.
There's nothing wrong with being a colony. But one has to admit what one is.
Japan picking a fight with China over Taiwan is obviously a directive from Washington. Japan has no business interfering on that island or feigning concerns about its political fate. It will bear the costs of war much like Ukraine and Germany without reaping any of the profits.
Germany poked itself in the economic eye to please its masters in Washington and Tel Aviv, sabotaging its industry and putting its people in economic pain over a fruitless war for Ukraine.
Does Japan want to do the same for Taiwan? If so, then it has to explain why. And fearmongering about the Chinese threat won't satisfy anyone, not its own people nor the rest of the world.
