Of course the Japanese will come crying to the US because the big bad Chinese are giving them their comeuppins.
This issue transcends communist/capitalist ideology. It is really about Japanese arrogance and the radical right wing who still adheres to their Nazi-like racial superiority ideology. Hopefully these types will be gradually put away and/or die off.
Ironic, also, that the Japanese government employs a CCP tactic of keeping their populace ignorant. Whatever works, right?
