Here is the title of the article just below this one:
China is in no way an hypothetical enemy. They are the enemy. Any country friends with Russia and N.K. is the enemy.

Former colonialists should tread carefully.

Japan has learned from WWII. Despite harping on Japan that it should, China has not.
Germany has learned from WWII. Russia has not.

Everything comes from thinking about it. If you hypothetically think China is the enemy, then you MAKE China an enemy.

It was the "Opium War"(1839-1842) when western imperialism aggression at China first not the Chinese aggression at any western nations or Japan. The Opium War kicked started a sequence of aggression over Chinain the next 100 years, China was under western and Japanese invasion and humiliations. Not until the Korean War when the People's Republic of China fought back and later supported the Vietnam war. All western Imperial powers were the same : British imperialism, American imperialism or Japanese imperialism.
China has learned so so so much from history not just from WW2 but far earlier wars,tracing back to 19th century.The best way to prevent being invaded is certain power to fight back. American imperialism is just another "Imperialism" that must be expil6out of Chinese vision, I feel sorry to see Japan being a vassal state and part of that hostility!

“If a fight is unavoidable, strike first” and the fight, unfortunately, is not inevitable, it is already underway. And in this matter there are no good and bad. There will only be a winner and a loser. History repeats itself like a spiral in a circle

China has been positioning itself in such a way since Xi took over, that it is against all who follow rules, order and laws that have served the world for 75 years since the last major world wide conflict.
China and Russia want a new world order where chaos and military might determine right and wrong and govern the world. They want a system where they can do as they please without consequence, and to be able to punish dissenters abroad as they do domestically. So many of their international supporters refuse to admit it and champion them, misguided in imagining it will somehow be better for them, while ignoring the fact it will be a worse life for billions of people if they get their way.

Dictator "President" Xi's policies are to blame.

But they didn't learn that dictatorships and territorial expanion are doomed to fail.
