When midget Japan was running wild all over China, treating the Chinese with contempt, killing and massacring them wantonly, China was at the peak of its decay. Qing Dynasty had collapsed. The new Republic was struggling to be accepted as the new govt. Many parts of China were ruled by warlords. China was a bunch of loose sands. The KMT, supposedly the most organised and best equipped military force, have many divisions of foot soldiers but at best have a few machine guns and mortars to play with. No tanks, no air force, no navy. The warlords were even worse. And there was no war industry to support any military campaign. All the weapons have to be bought or be donated by foreign powers.
Japan than was an industrial power competing with the European powers for world supremacy. They have fully equipped armies, air force and navy and a massive war industry. When the Japanese invaded China, it was like the Europeans with their modern weapons hunting down the natives with only bows and arrows. It was so easy for midget Japanese to round up the poorly equipped or unarmed civilians for shooting practices. It was a one sided butchering galore. The unarmed Chinese civilians were like subhumans for the slaughterhouse.
Today, China is no longer there to be bullied and butchered by the midget Japanese. China is a superpower, a nuclear power, possesses a military force that the Americans are unable to defeat. Why would midget Japan, outgunned and outnumbered in everything, still dare to treat China like a sick cat? Why would Japan be so confident and cocky to want to go to war with China when the Americans are having second thoughts?
Yes, Japan may have a few pieces of nuclear weapons. Japan can take out 10 or 20 Chinese cities, caveat, if they can get through the Chinese defences. China at the same time could wipe up all the Japanese cities in one go, none would be left standing. Maybe no Japanese would be left in Japan. China would still have hundreds and thousands of cities standing and hundreds of Chinese alive after the exchange.
Ah, the Japanese Trump Card. The Japanese can fully rely on the American Japan Treaty for the Americans to join the fight and wipe out China for Japan. The Japanese are confident that the piece of paper would commit the Americans to die fighting to save the Japanese.
20 or 30 years ago this could be true. The Americans would have no reservations to join the Japanese to fight China in an all out war. It would be like the Korean War, the Vietnam War when American military superiority would mean victory guaranteed. Though the results of these two wars did not go the way the Americans wanted, the Americans still could cut losses and retreated without much harm. The homeland was safe. Even up to 1996, the Americans were confident enough to send two aircraft carrier groups to the Taiwan Strait to threaten China.
The balance of power till 1996, even till now, are in favour of the Americans. And the Americans went all over the world to sign defence treaties to fight wars happily. They even unilaterally passed a law called the Taiwan Acts to commit America to the defence of Taiwan, without needing Taiwan to agree or consent. This was done at a time when no one can challenge American military supremacy. Arrogant terrorist America can attack any country it wants, any time it wants, especially the weaker and smaller countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran and now Venezuela.
But when a war is between the Americans and another superpower, the Americans would have to think very carefully. For instance the Ukraine War. The Americans started this war, underestimating the Russian military might and a war against a Russia supported by China and friends. The Americans have decided to back out of the Ukraine War, knowing very well that Russia can hit back and destroy America.
The Americans would now have to review all its military treaties that could push them to a war with China and Russia, even with Iran and North Korea. The American homeland is no longer safe in a war with Russia and China. How many Americans would have to be vaporised in a nuclear war? What is that important for America to want to risk national annihilation just to help to defend Japan when it has decided it is not worth it to sacrifice for Ukraine, same white men, blond hair and blue eyes? Why would the Americans be fixed by the sneaky Japanese to fight China or Russia?
Japan is confident to drag the Americans to die for them. They have been plotting for this eventuality for a long time. This is Japanese wishful thinking. Ask the Americans, would they die fighting for the Japanese? And there is Russia and also North Korea that would definitely join the fight. Would America fight or flight when the Japanese start a war, to drag them to fight China, Russia and North Korea? The American Japanese Treaty is just a piece of paper. When the threat is existential, when Americans could be safe without fighting, without being dragged into mutual assured destruction, the answer is obvious. Caveat, if the Chinese and Russians and the North Koreans tell the Americans that America is next. This is unlikely. China, Russia and North Korea have no reason to want to fight America, unable to fight America, unable to launch an invasion force across the Pacific Ocean. For China, Russia and North Korea to initiate a fight with America is inviting self destruction. They would not do that.
Americans do not have to die for the Japanese. Let the Japanese fight wars they created. The Americans are not fools and would not die in a war schemed by the Japanese. The cocky and sneaky midget Japanese are still having their wet dreams that the Americans would happily die for them in a war the Japanese started for the Americans and the Chinese to wipe each other out. This is what is going to happen in the current tension started by the Japanese, with the Japanese ensnaring the Americans into a trap.
Caveat, unless both the Americans and the Japanese have been conspiring to start this war and wanted this war.

China can engage in a war with robots and drones, expendable and cheap. This is the advantage of the manufacturing centre of the world.
China has the industrial base to fall back on in any war. China also has the supply chains like rare earth magnets, titanium, copper and steel for making more weapons like drones and missiles that other countries are now short off.
Just like Russia churning out weapons that the Europeans could not match and thinking Russia is really falling short in that sector. So, who has the advantage in any war in the South China Sea is a no brainer. This is China's front yard, and which dog, male or female, wants to start a fight must be prepared to face the consequence.
Having said that, China needs to watch the Japanese using a female dog very carefully, as this was exactly the desperate situation that forced the Japs to launch its attack on China and other Asian countries in the past. A sneak attack is not beyond contemplation, just like Pearl Harbor. And just like Pearl Harbor, the Japanese will face total annihilation this time around.
Do not call that female Japanese a 'cocky' dog, when she does not possess one.
