What is the gap between China and Japan in modern times?

1. The ruling class is corrupt and incompetent. Empress Dowager Cixi served more than 100 dishes at a meal, but the Japanese emperor made a solemn oath: I only ate one meal a day before the Imperial Navy surpassed the Beiyang Navy.

2. China people are too lacking in martial spirit. During World War II, Japanese soldiers surrendered without a fight, never surrendered until the last moment, and even struggled to fight you to the death in the case of broken arms and legs. This is why although Germany, Japan and Israel are small countries, they can make the whole world tremble, while although China is a big country, it can only be trampled upon by others.

3. China is a nation without ideals and ambitions. It is often said that Japan's aggression and expansion everywhere is militarism, wolf ambition and a joke! A nation without ambition is like a person without ideals. How can such a nation be strong?
