Even if the United States and Japan work closely together, we cannot keep competing with China. Therefore, we are trying to draw new partners into this coalition, including India and Australia. If we can increase our defense budget, we may not be able to outdo China, but we may be able to compete with China fairly effectively.

Leave India out of it. They're supporting Russia, already, and don't deserve the time of day.

And there we have it! Now we know what Japan has to do. Sound as an Irish pound.

I agree! Leave India out!

they use Russian resources!

India are the next China under Modi. You are just baking in your next problem.

Going against China is like chasing the wind! Good luck Japan with such obscure ambition.

China is not all powerful. It is going to collapse VERY soon.

The current fertility rate for China in 2022 is 1.702 births per woman, a 0.18% increase from 2021. The fertility rate for China in 2021 was 1.699 births per woman, a 0.18% increase from 2020.

This is a demographic time bomb.

Their disastrous 1 child policy as well as left them with a demographic nightmare. They're powerful now, but they will collapse and probably sooner than we think

India are the next China under Modi. You are just baking in your next problem.

exactly! Modi is no friend, ally or partner. He, like Winne the Pooh and Pootin must be contained. None of these 3 can be friends with the west.

Fair strategy to limit military belligerence from China.
