Japan can put a satellite in orbit around the moon. I’m sure they could put a warhead in Beijing if need be. China knows this; they also know that their mega-cities would be sitting ducks in a nuclear exchange.

It’s a MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD world.

The Japanese landed a spacecraft on a comet, a much much more difficult task than hitting a city next door to your country. China should be careful for what they wish for. The exit of the US from the Western Pacific may not bring about the hegemony they dream of.
