The Chinese Communist Party is warning Japan that it will be “digging its own grave” if the country sides with the US to defend Taiwan in the event of an invasion — adding Japan is “powerless against the Chinese military.”
“Japan does not dare to confront China alone. If Japan involves itself in the Taiwan question militarily, it will be Japan digging its own grave,” said an op-ed published Wednesday in the Communist Party mouthpiece Global Times.
“Japan’s military capability is completely restrained by the US and does not have an independent combat capability. It is easy for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to paralyze the attack capability of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. Japan itself is powerless against the Chinese military,” said the article, written by Song Zhongping, a Chinese military expert and TV commentator.
The op-ed said China would view Japan as a threat if it assisted US forces.
“If Japan cooperates with the US to carry out military actions against China, especially over the island of Taiwan or Diaoyu Islands, Beijing will view the move as engaging in a military conflict with China. In this sense, Japan will become the target of China’s military strike. This will endanger Japan’s survival,” Song wrote.
The piece was written in response to comments made by Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso at a fundraising dinner for a fellow lawmaker Monday evening.

Kinda reminds me of Paul McCartney.
China rattling its sabres,(chopsticks) again?
China seems to have forgotten the Japanese of 1933 when they visited Nanking while enjoying their culture and diversity.
“Got To Admit It’s Getting Better”.
Japan is stronger than China thinks.
Interpreting this statement: our assets entrenched in the US government will betray Japan.
While its not strictly treason if such a scenario comes to pass, its awfully close.
Communism has utterly FAILED everywhere it’s been tried. If you want evidence of that fact, look at a nighttime photo of the Korean Peninsula, look at Cuba, look at the Soviet Union, look at Venezuela, look at the Stalin regime.
I think one of the MAIN reasons they (Marxist/Socialists) fail is that communists individuals are just plain STUPID. They tell Japan that they (the failed, draftees, People’s Army) will destroy them in a war because they are a small country and China is huge and all powerful. This is stupid because Japan is sort of like Israel and has a proven history of ferociously fighting and winning. China does not.
Would be a damned shame if something happened to the 3 gorges dam.
Can’t get no worse.
The Japanese leadership probably has that mapped out 50 different ways.
The Chinese made very good swords. From 800 or so AD until 1750 China was probably the predominate world military power. They can certainly rattle sabers in a historical sense.
Biden has already surrendered to the Chinese scum.
That was centuries ago. 20th century China has them basically being at Japan’s mercy multiple times. And often Japan had no mercy.
Biden is China’s proximity president.
He is all for China.
China knows it can push the US around, and there won’t be any resistance from the China-owned media and politicians.
Biden is China’s PROXI president.
He is all for China.
China is digging its own grave if she invades Taiwan.
Taiwan should apply for American statehood.
I would rather have Taiwan than DC as a state.
Japan needs to start servicing and assembling those nuclear weapons they don’t have.
