The arrogance of the Chinese is becoming increasingly apparent.
Nobody is going to want to invest in China anymore.
Given the history and mindset of Japan, a war with the Japanese may be sharp, but isn’t going to be short.

This CIC will do nothing. His sights are set on figuring a way to wage war in Syria. Recall how badly both he and McCain wanted it.
The Japanese are NOT stupid.. and have no doubt given this much thought..
And calculated what to do with much nuke material...
The three gorges dam would fall at first shot..
Who knows what the Japanese finest stealth cruise missles look like..
They dont give away secrets like the Clintoons and Obama..
I think....... Japanese secrets are indeed secrets..
Beware attacking the Rising Sun.. I would suppose..
Japan will win with or without the U.S. I am guessing they have the parts and pieces of a huge Navy, that can be assembled in the matter of a few months. The same for nuclear weapons.
chi-com’s neighbors are all wary of their intentions.
Viet Nam, India, Japan, even Mongolia is afraid the chi-coms will try to make their country the next Nepal.
So they each bolster their military.
Hitler planned for a “short sharp war” with Russia, too. It’s funny how your war plans can change after your contact with the enemy.
My own thought about this sort of conflict.
For China’s sake it would need to be Short and Victorious. Inside China are multiple revolutions just waiting for the right moment to be let loose.
For the Japanese, a war might be what is needed to kick-start their economy again and re-ignite the men and women to start reproducing again.
Materiel wise, China has a lot now to work with, They also have a HUGE frontier and border to defend. Can they do that and spare enough to fight Japan with?
For their Neighbors including itty-bitty Taiwan, actions like this may result in a new defensive organization specifically tasked to rein in Chinese military ambitions.
And so on and so forth... Bottom line if there is going to be a ‘hot war’ it needs to be done and over within a month or there will be lots of consequences, economic, military and political.
Analysis from August 1914: [We] concluded that the German Reich has been given the new task to be able to conduct a short sharp war to destroy French forces
When you hear "short sharp" about a potential conflict between two major powers you should be afraid.
