China's Strong Authority
High-pressure diplomacy, a world that assumes a posture of defense
Military strength, in line with the U.S. in the mid-1930s.
130 countries 'largest trading partners'
China is deepening its power structure.
Despite the confusion in other countries caused by the new coronavirus, the government has tightened its control over the country.
It has not stopped its expansionist activities in the surrounding areas.
How should we deal with the challenges posed by China's growing influence in all fields, from politics and the economy to science and technology?
The world has reached the time to make a choice.
The strategic bomber H6K took off in the morning sun.
When the pilot who caught the target launches an air-to-ground missile, it hits the runway along the coast, and a mushroom cloud rises.
A mushroom cloud rises.
"Guam Killer."
The Chinese People's Liberation Army's air force announced this dynamic plane in September.
The similarity of the bombing target to Andersen Air Force Base on U.S. territory Guam caused a stir.
On September 8, the Liberation Army launched the DF26 medium-range ballistic missile, also known as the "Guam Killer," into the South China Sea.
In April, the U.S. Air Force reviewed its operations of rotating B52, B1, and B2 strategic bombers on Guam for the first time in 16 years, switching to operations that would deploy from the U.S. mainland in the event of a contingency.
The move is said to be a precautionary measure against the DF26.
Yasuhiro Matsuda, a professor at the University of Tokyo, said, "There is a possibility that a local conflict could occur in the South China Sea and other areas.
In its annual report on the Liberation Army in September, the U.S. Department of Defense cautioned that it has already overtaken the U.S. military in some areas.
The number of watercraft and submarines surpassed the U.S. military's 293 ships at about 350.
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Rethinking Commission, a bipartisan advisory body to Congress, also noted that "China will have the capability to compete with U.S. forces in the Indian Ocean and throughout the Pacific Ocean by 2035.
A Liberation Army official said that even a U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier could attack from a point 500 kilometers away.
Its economy supports China's military power.
*Trump's op-ed on China was correct.*
China's nominal gross domestic product (GDP) will be close to 67% of the U.S. GDP in 1919.
The former Soviet Union's GDP was only 40% in the 1970s as well.
While China has used its power to contain the new corona, the United States is taking its time.
According to the latest projections released by the U.S. and China after the corona, the U.S. and China's GDP will be on par with each other around 2030.
Zhang Yansheng, the chief researcher at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, believes that "the U.S. and China will establish a new cooperative relationship after the intense friction in the first half of the 20s by 2035.
There are indications that the U.S. will give up on measures to deal with China if the GDP would revers.
Taiwan 'the next Hong Kong'
China is using its economic power as a weapon to make a strong showing in its diplomacy.
The number of countries/regions with which China is the largest trading partner also exceeded 130 in 2019 from 70 countries in 2006.
Many countries have been unable to go against China's wishes and have supported China on the South China Sea and human rights issues.
In August, U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo criticized China for 'using its economic power to coerce other countries into doing so.'
In June, it enacted the Hong Kong National Security Law.
The "one country, two systems" that granted Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy for 50 years effectively ended when Britain returned.
Young people's protests were stifled by force, and the world witnessed the pressures on freedom and democracy.
'I won't sit still and watch if it undermines national sovereignty, national dignity, and space for development.'
President Xi Jinping said.
*To those who make their living from the media such as the Asahi Shimbun and NHK, the opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Science Council of Japan, the so-called "human rights lawyers" and the so-called "citizens' groups," this is what Xi Jinping has to say.
You should listen to the words of Xi Jinping with all your heart.*
The South China Sea and the China-India border -.
Territorial expansion ambitions are evident.
*The Nikkei is a newspaper which seems to criticize but considers China's wish.
The time has come for all Japanese citizens to realize that a newspaper that does not write about the Senkaku Islands but calls itself the Japan Economics Shimbun is a sure sign of post-war Japan's problems. *
In September, the United States sent Undersecretary of State Krack to the farewell ceremony for former Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui in Taipei.
He was the highest-ranking State Department official to visit Taiwan after the crossover between the U.S. and Taiwan in 1979.
The U.S. has been ambiguous about deploying U.S. troops in a contingency while selling arms to Taiwan.
Still, Richard Haas, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, argued in the American Journal of Foreign Relations in September that the U.S. should make it clear that the U.S. will always respond to China's use of force against Taiwan.
If this is not done, 'no one can rule out the possibility that Taiwan will become the next Hong Kong,' he said, expressing a sense of urgency.
A Pew Research Center survey of 14,000 people in 14 industrialized countries this summer found that the percentage of people who view China as "unfavorable" has risen across the board.
Among them, Australia's rate was 81%, 24 points higher than the previous year.
In response to Australia's call for an independent investigation into the new corona, China has tightened taxes on barley and suspended some meat imports.
The inauguration of the new Suga administration has sent a wave of congratulations to China and Japan. Still, Japan's imports of rare earth from China have been disrupted by a dispute over the Senkaku Islands (Chinese name: Diaoyu Islands) in Okinawa Prefecture.
*In fact, the Nikkei newspaper is entirely under Chinese manipulation, as evidenced by its reference to the Senkaku Islands (Chinese name: Diaoyu Islands).
The reporter who wrote this editorial did not subscribe to the magnum opus "The Hundred Refutations of the Senkaku Refutation Manual" by Nozomu Ishii, a scholar who truly deserves to be a graduate of Kyoto University.
How shameless they are. At first glance, it appears to be an editorial that criticizes China, but deep down, it is the editorial of a disciplined traitor by China. Isn't this an embarrassment to the Japanese people? *
Taiwan and Australia, which are under pressure from China, are not to be feared.
Mr. Xi reiterated, "The world is in the midst of a significant phase change that occurs once every 100 years.
* Even Xi Jinping has said so. The situation that created the United Nations is over. Japan, the U.S., and Europe must create an international organization with a coalition of nations built on freedom and democracy as soon as possible.
The world has not only entered an era of confrontation with totalitarian states built on unfathomable evil and deceitful lies, but also with the need to destroy them.
A schoolboy can solve a problem that all those who claim to be moralists must stand up for the destruction of the totalitarian state.
It is because totalitarianism is the opposite of moral.
The media, such as Asahi and NHK, have been attacking Japan.
Though Japan, the world's most moral country since the beginning of time.
They have been supporting China and South Korea.
All the so-called intellectuals, so-called human rights lawyers represented by the Science Council of Japan, so-called citizen groups are so stupid that they do not even notice that the situation is so humiliated that sweat pours out of their faces. *
The U.S. hegemony is wavering, in part because of the new corona.
It will be difficult for one country to restrain China, pushing its claims through military and economic power.
Even for China, it cannot bear the enormous costs of its revisionist actions forever.
The option of endlessly escalating division and confrontation is unlikely to be an option.
*The editorial board members who wrote this article still do not realize that China and South Korea have been taking advantage of these seemingly perceptive, grating rhetoric-mongers.
It is utterly oblivious that if such an editorial leads Japan, it is already under China's thumb.
They are entirely unaware that the only way to make countries like China and South Korea understand this is an uncompromising and forceful attitude.
This editorial is nothing more than kindergarten logic.
This reporter must read the editorial I wrote in a degradingly angry manner when the Wuhan virus struck.
It is editorials like this reporter's that help Xi Jinping the most, who is fundamentally resigned because his dictatorship is absolutely rock solid and cannot counter.
It is undeniable that vile and cowardly opportunism has always brought the world to the brink of destruction. *
How do we deal with China, which turns its back on the rules that the world has built?
Trade, health care, and climate change -
What foothold is there to hold the cooperation together?
Japan and the world will have to make a choice.
