The Japanese say: "I have the United States and I am not afraid of you China!"...Is this really true?

The United States relied on the pacifist constitution to deprive Japan of its military, and then relied on the Japan-US security agreement to control Japanese politics. Let Japan become the United States' stronghold and largest cooperation market in Asia (before the rise of China). The United States does not want a war between China and Japan, because then the United States will have to fulfill its obligations and fight a war it does not want. The United States just wants to control Japan by depriving Japan of its military. Japan does not dare to get rid of the United States' nuclear umbrella. When Japan's economy was at its best, it posed a threat to the United States. The United States was able to rely on the Plaza Accord to attack the yen, which was also related to the fact that Japan relied on the United States and did not dare to resist the United States.

As for Japan, of course Japan wants to become a normal country. The Self-Defense Forces have too many restrictions. Even if they can develop their military on the sidelines, just banning the export of weapons will make it difficult for Japan's military industry to truly develop. It can also be seen from many Japanese movies, animations and literary works that Japan wants to get rid of American control. But reality is impossible.

Even if Japan becomes a normal country, it will not be able to possess nuclear weapons because it has missed that era. Now the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty stipulates five legal nuclear-possessing countries, and all latecomers are illegal. But there is no doubt that Japan has the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons. But it makes no sense, because nuclear weapons are actually only useful in peacetime, and nuclear deterrence has international status. Only under such conditions as the outbreak of a world war would Japan be able to ignore the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and manufacture nuclear weapons.

When Japan and China create conflicts, it is because Japan does not have the ability to create conflicts with the United States, and for any country, the people hope that the government will look awesome and be tough externally. . . Therefore, in order to cater to the wishes of voters, Japanese politicians will find ways to be tougher. The reason why it will not let go on the Diaoyu Islands is to cater to the people's ideas, but Japan will not be stupid enough to actually provoke a war. The United States alone will not allow it.

China, Japan and the United States will continue to provoke each other for a long time in the future, but they will not actually start a fight. China and the United States are both nuclear powers, and it is impossible for each other to cross the red line of war. And Japan cannot get rid of the United States. Unless World War III starts in the future. Otherwise, the current world situation would not have the opportunity to cause such a big change as the breakdown of the Japan-US alliance.
