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.

A solution might be to send those Chinese guys some of those Japanese love dolls, might cool their ardor a bit.

I hate to be a broken record but boy people have to educate themselves better.

The Japanese Naval Self Defense force is enormous, well armed, and very well trained. Arguably the second most powerful Navy in the world- hardly a "token."
