Can America and Japan Take Down the Chinese Military Together?

ere's What You Need to Remember: Ultimately, the country with the more advanced AI-enabled sensors, long-range weapons and surface-to-air-to-undersea networking would destroy the other.

A recent think tank wargame explores the prospect of a massive war between China and America and Japan in 2030, introducing many war-time questions about submarines, amphibious attack, surface ships and fifth-generation fighters.

According to a story in Foreign Policy, the Center for New American Security’s wargame unfolds as follows:

“…A Chinese flotilla lands 50 soldiers on Uotsuri Jima, an island in the East China Sea that is part of the Senkakus, an island chain owned by Japan but also claimed by China. Declaring a 50-mile exclusion zone around the Senkakus, Beijing deploys a ring of surface ships, submarines, warplanes, and drones—backed by ballistic missiles based on the Chinese mainland…”

Japan counterattacks, sending in amphibious warships, submarines, surface warships and aircraft-backed Marines.

Given the existing “Mutual Defense Pact,” the U.S. sends aircraft carriers and other assets to support Japan, with specific instructions not to exchange fire with Chinese forces. That does not work, according to the wargame scenario.

Any direct military conflict between the U.S. and China will not end well, regardless of the outcome.

I believe our own military can handle China on its own. No doubt we have the capability, all we need is the will.

Even a conventional war with China would crash the US economy, permanently.

Think permanently broken supply chains >>> hyper-inflation >>> US dollar crash >>> stock-market crash >>> debt crash >>> social chaos >>> and next?

I just hope everyone’s ready

Not when our Commander in Chief is in the Chi Com’s pocket.

Can America and Japan Take Down the Chinese Military Together?

Two points: (1) Japan has not been a major military power in decades, and (2) our 'woke' military would be a severe handicap to any Japanese defense efforts...

“Can America and Japan Take Down the Chinese Military Together?”

Only if the Japanese do all the fighting!

Yep, war with China would be utter insanity. Two nuclear powers at war with each other? It would be suicide same as if we went to war with Russia. But the thought of it wouldn’t even come to mind if we had a competent leader who was brilliant at deal making, but apparently having a bunch of crooks and traitors in office is more important to the Rat/RINO uniparty of treason.

Depends on whether or not the Chicoms choose to use all the ideas/stuff that the Bubba and Dorkbama regimes sold them.

And whether or not we decide to fire little willy Milley.

With the help of the Japanese and their secret weapons, it's doable.

50 men? The Chinese land 50 men? And why didn’t the Jap garrison on Uotsuri Jima open fire from the hidden guns? They know how to do it. They know how to do it good...

Will we still have a United States by 2030?

Seems that our Democrat overlords are doing everything possible to doom this nation, and the nation will fragment and self-destruct soon. Japan may have to go it alone against China if the USA is messed up internally.

I cannot think of any direct conventional war between nuclear armed nations. DC is determined to find a way to have a war with Russia or China.
I just hope the first and biggest bombs hit DC and Fairfax Virginia where all these creeps live.

When reading Forbes, always remember, it is majority owned by the communist party of China. You might as well be readying the Mao Gazette, or the Peking Times Herald.
