Japan should ally with its neighbors against bullying.

4 ( +5 / -1 )

Two hundred million people can do it themselves. Jokowi's campaign was based on “Indonesia advancing”.

Now he's asking a nation miles away to help out.

Weak leadership.

Indonesia, like other SE Asian nations are simply worried about China, the world's most powerful dictatorship, infringing upon their territory.

I don't agree with communist ideology.

Dont agree with Xi president for life.

Dont agree with the social credit system.

Treatment of Muslims and Tibet should be better.

Lets look at the other side too...

U.S.A.

Supposed friend of Japan yet they forced Plaza acord on Japan in the mid 80s crippling our economy for decades.

Has forced article 9 on Japan while out of the 300 years of America's existence only 28 they are at peace with no war.

Had nuclear weapons first, used them, never banned them afterwards. We live in a more dangerous nuclear bomb world because of it.

Started wars in Middle East, East Asia, South China sea countries.

They dont believe in climate change and their doing very little to lead the world or address the problem within just the U.S.

America always gets a pass for its mistakes, for its crimes, laws they break.

No, most Americans are not stupid. Just because we have an idiot in the White House right now please do not paint all of America in his image.

Having an ally strengthen any effort of an individual.

I believe Japan should spread it's wings in having more Asian country as an ally other than relying on ( and paying trillions of yen) America for help and support.

China has been infiltrating most countries in the world and no one knows how to equalize or beat their strategy. It has been obvious though they always buy off lands and build huge buildings with most Chinese workers in it.

Indonesia isn't that greedy ( or scary ) yet and has a potential for a great partnership that could be useful for Japan. Consider this request before they ( Indo) become a country that better in taking than giving.
