Relations between China and Japan have always been on the same footing, and the Japanese invaders once caused the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre on mainland soil, and the people of the mainland will never forget the heavy blood debts they committed.
With the advent of the mainland's DF-41 intercontinental missile, J-20 stealth fighter, Type 055 destroyer and DF-17 conventional missile, all of them demonstrate the strength of the motherland, and the People's Liberation Army has developed into a steel division that can rival the world's powers.
However, now, under the influence of right-wing forces, Japan has been secretly developing and expanding its armaments, manufacturing ships, and developing lethal weapons in an attempt to launch another invasion.
If China and Japan meet each other again, what will be the outcome? Will the Japanese Self-Defense Forces be able to compete with the PLA?
«——·The disparity of power on land·——»
In the field of land forces, the PLA has the upper hand, with a million army, thousands of main battle tanks, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, and iron-blooded divisions, invincible.
In comparison, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force is much thinner, with a mere 160,000 people, 1,000 tanks, and 2,500 artillery pieces, which is not in the same order of magnitude at all.
Even though Japan has a high proportion of non-commissioned officers and claims to be able to rapidly expand its troops, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the mainland, which has a strong reserve force.
The mainland is not only able to independently produce various types of tanks, artillery, and other weapons and equipment, but also has a strong logistical support capability, which is fully capable of supporting a large-scale land operation; on the other hand, Japan's military industry is subject to many restrictions, and many key equipment still depends on imports, and once a war breaks out, Japan's supply lines are likely to be cut off.
Of course, Japan, as an island nation, is unlikely to have a direct landing on its mainland, but this does not mean that it is safe. In the event of a war, the mainland can take advantage of its strong naval and air superiority to impose a blockade on Japan, cut off its supply of strategic materials, and force it to submit.
«——·The duel of air power·——»
The Air Force is the winning trump card in modern warfare, and in this field, the PLA's superiority is equally obvious.
At present, the People's Liberation Army has installed more than 200 J-20 stealth fighters, which is known as the "chief of the East" fifth-generation fighter, representing the highest level of the continental aviation industry, while Japan has introduced F-35, but the number is less than half of the J-20.
In terms of fourth-generation fighters, the PLA also has the upper hand. J-16, J-11, J-10, Su-35, these advanced models constitute the mainstay of the continental air force. In contrast, Japan's F-15J and F-2 are difficult to match in terms of number and performance.
More importantly, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force is a vassal of the US military, relying heavily on the US military system and lacking independent combat capabilities. Once the US military is lost, it may be difficult to withstand the fierce offensive of the PLA.
«——·The Contest of Sea Power·——»
The People's Liberation Army Navy once lagged behind the army in development, but since the beginning of the 21 st century, naval construction has been in full swing, and now it has become one of the world's first-class navies.
In recent years, the mainland navy has been equipped with a large number of advanced destroyers, the most eye-catching of which is the 10,000-ton Type 055 destroyer, a modern warship called the "China Aegis," equipped with advanced phased array radar and vertical launch system, and has outstanding performance in air defense, anti-ship, and land strikes.
The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the once invincible Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force is now eclipsed, and although they are still trying to develop and try to maintain so-called "maritime superiority," in the face of the rapid rise of the PLA Navy, this superiority may only be a flash in the pan.
Behind this reversal of the balance of power is the inevitable result of the comprehensive national strength of China and Japan, which has continued to grow at a high speed and has jumped to become the world's second largest economy since the beginning of reform and opening up.
At the same time, the mainland has also made great progress in the field of military science and technology, and a number of cutting-edge technologies have become independent and controllable, injecting a strong impetus into the modernization of naval equipment.
On the other hand, although Japan's total economic output once ranked second in the world, with the bursting of the bubble economy, Japan's economy fell into a "lost twenty years", economic growth is sluggish, coupled with the increasingly severe aging problem, Japan's national strength is gradually declining, in this case, it is difficult for Japan to provide sufficient resources for the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and its naval development is naturally restricted.
«——·Potential Risks·——»
On the surface, Japan's Self-Defense Forces do not seem to be strong, and in some Western military rankings, it is even behind India.
However, I am afraid that this is not the case, and Japan has been secretly expanding its armaments and developing sophisticated weapons, and its military ambitions should not be underestimated. According to the analysis of military experts, judging from the strength of the Maritime Self-Defense Force alone, it is difficult for even European powers to compete with it.
What is even more disturbing is that Japan is still stepping up the training of military personnel, ostensibly ordinary colleges and universities, but in fact it is conducting militarized training, and these "soldiers who do not wear military uniforms" may be the reserve force for Japan's expansion.
In addition, Japan is also frantically hoarding strategic materials and upgrading weapons and equipment, and its purpose is clearly revealed, that is, to prepare for future aggression and expansion.
On the Taiwan Strait issue, Japan is even more impatient to make a move, making provocative remarks on many occasions, and even threatening to prevent the reunification of the mainland by force; all kinds of signs show that Japan seems to want to use the strength of the United States to start a war in the Taiwan Strait and seek its own interests.
If this news is true, once Japan possesses nuclear weapons, the level of madness may rise to a higher level, and even the Americans may not be able to control it at that time.
«——·Continent's Response·——»
In the face of Japan's ambitions, the mainland must not take it lightly.
Once upon a time, Japan's iron hooves trampled on the land of the mainland, bringing great disasters to the Chinese nation, the Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731 ...... The bloody lessons of history warn us that we must always be vigilant against Japan's militarist ambitions.
Today, although Japan ostensibly adheres to a pacifist constitution, it is secretly stepping up its military buildup, with advanced weaponry constantly being installed and its military strength increasing day by day.
In the face of various provocations by Japan, the mainland government and military have always maintained a high degree of strategic determination. We are committed to developing China-Japan relations on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and are committed to maintaining peace and stability in the region. At the same time, however, we also have the firm will and full ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
After decades of development, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has grown into a well-equipped and well-trained modern army, from the J-20 stealth fighter in the air to the Type 055 destroyer at sea, from the DF-26 anti-ship ballistic missile, to the 99A main battle tank...... A series of cutting-edge weapons, like a great wall of steel, firmly guard the blue sky, sea and territory of the motherland.
More importantly, the 1.4 billion mainland people are the most solid backing of the People's Liberation Army, and during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the sons and daughters of China braved violence and regarded death as their home, composing heroic hymns that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods.
Today, the love of the descendants of Yan and Huang for the great motherland is even more uncontrollable, and no matter who the enemy is, they will be under the iron fist of all the people on the mainland.
In the face of Japan's ambitions, the mainland must be highly vigilant and calmly deal with it; we will continue to pursue a defensive national defense policy, but at the same time, we will also strengthen army building and enhance our ability to contain and win wars; we are willing to live in peace and develop together with Japan, but if Japan insists on going its own way and insists on challenging the mainland's bottom line, then don't blame us for being polite.
Over the past thousands of years, the Chinese nation has endured hardships but has never been conquered, and any attempt to invade the mainland is doomed to be in vain. Today, let us unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and make unremitting efforts to realize the continental dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation! No matter what risks and challenges lie ahead, we will forge ahead until victory!
