Nope, not muslim, therefore no support.
I get the sneaking suspicion that JSDF will be able to make it a rough way to go for the Chinese.
I agree. I think this is the opening some Japanese want, to push for once again having a real military and changes to their constitution, rather than just having a token self-defense force. Although it is a formidable self-defense force. One problem is their young men would rather play video games than fight, and it looks like the Chinese men are tougher and spoiling for a fight.
