A Japanese official tells the truth about China’s Taiwan ambitions.
Japan’s government played clean-up this week after Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso indicated the country would intervene to repel a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Such Chinese military expansion, he said Monday, could threaten Japan’s “survival,” and “if that is the case, Japan and the U.S. must defend Taiwan together.”
Japan officially embraces a “one-China” policy and favors a diplomatic resolution between Beijing and Taipei. China’s state media on Wednesday published a piece in response warning that if Japan is involved in a conflict over Taiwan, it “will become the target of China’s military strike. This will endanger Japan’s survival.”
While others in Tokyo said Mr. Aso’s comments were his personal view, in consensus-oriented Japan this is almost never true. Mr. Aso, who was also Prime Minister for a year in the late 2000s, is reflecting a growing chunk of Japanese opinion on the political center-right.ical.

It is getting serious.
It’s what happens when you get Aso-san to Taiwan on.
It’s not “roiling” anyone but ChiComs.
1st strike
Aso; He is the longest-serving Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister in Japanese history.
Alea iacta est.
Can a revolution inside China happen before they act upon external aggressions?
I hope so.
Well actually , No, to your question.
China hangs so much on one personality ; Xi
It would be a pity if anything were to happen to him.
His entire plan & vision of world domination might fall apart
Imho you don’t know Xit about China. If you think China is one Xi...you may be mistaken.
I agree. 😭
They hang a lot on that one dude .
Like they did with Mao
“The die is cast.”
Who is “they” in this case? I doubt whether the Chinese populace gives a bleep about Xi any more than they did Mao. It’s a communist dictatorship. So any demonstration of purported affection for Xi is merely a defense mechanism, intended to shield the peon from the wrath of the dictator. This is widely practiced in North Korea. If Xi were to vanish from the scene he would be missed like a case of bleeding hemorrhoids.
That's a false and unhelpful hope. China has one billion poor voters with an unshakable support for deep state socialism. CCP would be replaced overnight by CCP II. The world would gain no reduction in belligerence.
The soft underbelly of the globalist fed China dragon is communism itself. Big government is always a bureaucratic tar pit of centralized data gathering and planning. Next add a childish culture of cheating, lies, and face saving.
It's remarkable how fast centralized data gathering becomes junk data. Anyone that has to fill out a detailed weekly timesheet knows self reported data about personal productivity is junk data from the start.
Leftists destroy everything they touch. Once a competitor is infected with leftists, support them, just like they support ours.
The Emperor of China, Xi Jipeng is not amused.
He will unleash the Dragons against Japan for final revenge of the Shanghai massacre of WWII perpetrated by Japan. Ever since then there has been bad blood between Red China and Japan’s right wing politicians who had supported The Jspanese military during WWII.
Its not serious yet. When it does get serious , you will see Red Chinese agents assassinating Japanese politicians.That will be the canary in the cage to know a real conflict will begin.
This battle has been going on for a long time. Aso is on the right while the assassination of Chinese Communist affecionado, Inejiro Asanuma, in 1960, was perpetrated by the right. Now the Chinese will assassinate a Right wing Japanese politician.It may very well be Aso.

The REd Chinese and the Right wing of Japan are both like the Mafia.They have operative thugs to do their bidding.
Aso is now upsetting the status quo and so , out come the daggers once again.If the current Japanese government does not sacrifice Aso, then there will be Big Trouble in Little Chine.
The minister’s name, Aso, reminds me of a self-deprecating Don Rickles joke.
The famously abrasive comedian had toured Asia, and he remarked, “The Japanese are so polite. Everywhere I went, people nodded and said, ‘Ah-so! Ah-so!’”
