This year marks the 76th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender to the enemy in World War II. Unfortunately, until now, Japan has been a country with deep sins and no change in its mistakes. Whether or not the Japanese "turned a blind eye" to their ancestors' crimes of aggression against China, Chinese will never forget the tragic history of aggression and massacres brought about by the Japanese. Although Japan is now much worse than before in terms of comprehensive national strength, if there is any slight weakening of China in the future, Japan will inevitably wait for the opportunity to invade China!
To be fair, the reason why the Japanese are targeting China is because of its vast land and huge resources, and second, there are many young and strong laborers and profound cultural heritage. Compared with Japan, which is trapped on an isolated island by perennial earthquakes, the wild hope of "annexing China" is not only the idea of the Japanese government, but also the "Millennium Plan" that the entire Japanese nation has been implementing.
Japan first practiced this plan more than 1,300 years ago, during the Tang Dynasty. In that Sino-Japanese Naval Battle of Baijiangkou, the Tang Empire's navy wiped out the main force of the Japanese naval army in the first battle, and since then, While learning Chinese culture and politics, Japan has been cultivating obscurity in Taoguang, waiting for the opportunity to "enter the Central Plains" again.
Finally, in 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had ended Japan's Sengoku period, gathered a large number of men and horses, and sent many daimyo (equivalent to the princes of the Zhou Dynasty in China) to form a coalition army with samurai and invaded Korea on a large scale. They vainly tried to use this as a springboard to take advantage of the decline of the Ming Empire and then carry out military operations of "marching into China and claiming to be orthodox".
The war, known in history as the Battle of Wanli Korea, once again defeated the Japanese invading army in the name of protecting the vassal state of Korea. At the same time, it also weakened the military power of the daimyōs throughout Japan, which indirectly led to the japanese "Sekigahara War" and allowed the Tokugawa clan in the Kanto region to establish Japan's last shogunate, the Tokugawa shogunate.
Rather than the "China threat theory," we should pay more attention to the "Japanese threat theory."
Throughout the feudal era of China and Japan, China was in a strong leading position until the Meiji Restoration was realized in Japan. Even though Japan harbored evil intentions and made no secret of its ambitions to enter the Central Plains, China never "genocideed" the aggressive Japan like Britain and the United States, and then set the Japanese archipelago as an "overseas colony" of China's feudal dynasty. On the contrary, after the Meiji Restoration, Japan began to move towards an extremely demonic fascist line.
Until now, the Japanese government is still controlled by a large number of anti-China right-wingers. Even if Japan was forced by the situation in World War II to choose unconditional surrender to the United States, in the subconscious of the Japanese, they did not openly believe: "The Japanese Empire lost to the Chinese army." At present, many anti-China media always render the "China threat theory" that is not marginal and illusory, but it is difficult to see that there are professional media analysts who say that the world should beware of the "Japanese threat theory."
It can be said that Japan has indeed been too successful in shaping its culture after World War II, as well as its national identity. So successful that they let the young people of their own nation "selectively avoid the history of World War II", and even performed quite well in the whitewashing of their ancestors, so that Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia and other countries confidently believed that they used western-style democracy to transform Japan into a truly "peace-loving country".
Sadly, a large number of American and Australian prisoners of war were subjected to a large number of inhuman abuses after being captured by the Japanese. At present, the "Five Eyes Alliance" countries headed by the United States are in cahoots with Japan, and these disgusting pro-Japanese politicians are worthy of the anti-Japanese veterans who died tragically at the hands of the Japanese army? Not to see that Japan is now "harmless to people and animals," we let down our guard and joined hands with Japan to carry out anti-China actions. In time, the decline of the United States, it is likely that it will be "lower than gram" by the obscure Japanese, and it will completely become Japan's plate food!
If you are good to him, he is a white-eyed wolf; if you are cruel to him, he is a watchdog
From the geographical analysis, the environment in which the Japanese lived has shaped an extremely aggressive Yamato nation. The Japanese archipelago, where Japan lives, is only a "land of bullets" for countries such as China, the United States, and Russia. On such a narrow island, Japan often has large disasters such as volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons. Judging from this environment, the Japanese people are bound to be constantly frightened by disasters, and they are bound to be eager to colonize a safer continent to survive.
Looking east and south of Japan, it is a vast ocean, and only in the west is a continent rich in resources, stability and security. And the country on this continent is China. Although Chinese established a foothold on this continent for a long time, the Japanese did not dispel their covetousness for this continent. Interestingly, when China was friendly to Japan, Japan behaved like a white-eyed wolf who was dissatisfied and capricious; on the contrary, after China beat Japan fiercely in the Tang and Ming dynasties, Japan was as docile as a "watchdog".
After Japan's defeat in the war and the United States actually controlled the country's foreign dominance, the Japanese government showed great respect for the United States and showed its ability to flatter. However, the Chinese government has always adhered to the foreign policy of good-neighborliness and friendship, but Japan has often behaved capriciously, occasionally expressing friendship with China, and after a while the Japanese government has visited the Yasukuni Shrine, and even this year, they have repeatedly intervened in China's internal affairs, clamoring to "safeguard Taiwan's security."
It can be seen from this that in a small country like Japan, where you are good to him, he is a white-eyed wolf; if you are cruel to him, he is a watchdog! However, it is worth mentioning that even as the watchdog of the United States, Japan has also shown a "yang and yin violation", while being friendly with the United States, secretly developing its own armaments, hoping that one day, after finding a balance between the two giants of China and the United States, the declining side will fall into the well, and the clear-eyed people know that this declining country is the United States.
China must remain strong for a long time and let Japan "forever" abandon the idea of dominating East Asia
If Japan wants to realize the ultimate ambition of dominating East Asia, then China's existence will always be the biggest "obstacle wall" to Japan's foreign military expansion. For more than a thousand years, Japan has been trying to penetrate this wall. Therefore, it is very likely that Japan will try to invade China again in a "certain way" at some "right time" in the future. After all, if that generation of Japanese succeeded, their descendants would remember the "great achievements" of the pioneers.
To this end, China must remain strong and must not let down its guard against aggressors such as Japan. As long as Japan does not give up the idea of hegemony over East Asia for a single day, it will be impossible for Japan to fundamentally admit its crimes in the war of aggression against China and will never use normal people's thinking to reflect on and understand the "true meaning of war."
Today, in terms of the balance of strength between China and Japan, China has undoubtedly defeated Japan. Japan is in a serious state of scarcity in terms of military supplies, military logistics support, and military potential. Even if there is a war between China and Japan, and the United States gives Japan a large amount of blood transfusion, how many weeks can the Japanese hold out? Today's Japan is a "Reiwa abandoned house", far less than the "Taisho boy" era when it was once full of spirit.
They have long since fallen from the peak of the past to the current decline. At least in the face of China, the victorious belief that they once held in "destroying China in three months" has long since disappeared. Only in the face of a strong military force can Japan behave in a meek and peaceful manner, and China has never invaded other countries, nor has it ever been afraid of the aggression of other countries. In the face of unshakable strength, only by forever abandoning the idea of hegemony over East Asia, changing its aggressive thinking, and realizing the "road of trilateral cooperation between China, Japan, and the ROK" can Japan move toward a "new future that was never conceived!"
