The alternative is not any better as the opposition will just make Korea into a Chinese satellite state

Ah ah ah.... that is the favorite narrative of the big US military industrial complex to promote their huge billions dollars orders of weapons all over the globe.

not all threat is made up, China's threat to Japan is very real. Outside of a few urban elites, pretty much all of the mainland chinese population wants to go to war with Japan, and many want an extermination war too.

deanzaZZR, the "rationale" is probably something like, "China and NK are poised, waiting to invade your country. The only defence is to support our troops. We make the world safe for democracy."

Complete bovine excrement, but the Japanese politicians believe it.

You are deluding yourself if you think China dont want to go to war with japan if they think they can win decisively. It would be hugely popular with the population. It would single handily give the government the mandate to rule for many decades

The recent generation of Chinese are much more hateful than the past. Their fanaticism are as strong as the religious extremists, these types of attacks will become more and more common. Japan should take a tougher security look at tourists coming from mainland China before it is too late.

The younger generation of Chinese are becoming more and more extremists, getting toward the level of Islamic extremists. Only a matter of time before actual terrorists attacks could be carried out. Japan government should take the threat in the future seriously.

Goes both ways. In China, 99% hates both the government and the people of Japan

The left have been canceling people for years and vehemently defended the practice, just 1 event targeting the left and suddenly they are complaining. Dint dish it out if you cannot take it

I can guarantee that 90% of Chinese don't want to kill Japanese. 

Outside the urban elites, the majority of Chinese are extremely nationalistic and militaristic. Just go through any Chinese SNS and read the comments.

Maybe the corporations should call them back if there's such a threat. 

They should if they care about their employees’ safety, especially if their employees are outside the urban elite areas such as Shanghai.

Japanese being in China is insane. Why would you want to be in a country where 90% of the population cannot wait to kill you. The younger generation are essentially extremists who are even more brutal than the religious zealots

Ryukyu has to wait for China to liberate them.

See above for the typical Chinese public view. Irregardless of who is in charge of China, China will eventually attack Okinawa, a democratic China would actually have higher likelihood of attacking as it is the popular opinion

The Chinese had never claim Okinawa Isles are Chinese soil, when you have heard of such a nonsense ?

Not the government officially but the majority of the Chinese public does, just go check any Chinese SNS.

Most of China’s population claim the entirety of Okinawa, the government is actually less hardline than the majority population

China and especially the population sees their neighbors as “small countries” and historical subject states. Therefore it is impossible for any Chinese government to engage with their neighbors on equal terms without facing fierce backlash domestically

He will be in prison for a very long time, at least 20 years is my guess

Money is not the issue. The dream of majority of women now is to marry and have kids with hosts or underground idols, but there is a limited supply.

Yes... China is evil! It has long history of invading and colonizing Asian countries!

I suggest you actually read China's history. China did not get so big by being peaceful. When China is strong, they have always expanded historically. China's diplomacy stance at their heights historically have always been subjugate or conquest, and have never allowed a non-tributary state to border it without going to war.

Considering that the majority of the Chinese public are much more hawkish than the government and will fully support a war with Japan, would be dumb to listen to China as war is inevitable when China have so much public demands for it.

The majority of chinese public is a lot more hawkish than the Chinese government and the vast majority believe Okinawa to be inherent Chinese land and very much wants to go to war over it. This type of sales is asking for trouble.

So the people giving the bribes will receive light sentences but the people who receive the bribes will get no punishment???

Also pretty much any deal with government requires bribes, why are they going for this guy? Who did he anger?

Considering the fact that the Japanese government is an unofficial subsidiary of Dentsu, nothing could ever happen to Dentsu executives.

It should be noted that Japanese police dont need any evidence if they can force a confession, which they almost alway will. Try being interrogated for 16 hours a day, and then forced to sleep in a room without working windows or heating in winter and lights on 24/7 for weeks on end. A significant portion of those in Japanese prison likely never committed any crimes.

The women likely is still madly in love with the host. There’s no way she reported as most are just willing to do anything for their hosts.

These type of arrangements is actually the norm. The vast majority of prostitutes and av stars, including famous ones, are deeply in debt to host clubs. What they fail to mention is the interest rates, where 10% per month is very common. However, I dont think any ever have any regrets or are unwilling to pay their hosts.

There’s no jobs or opportunities outside of Tokyo. Outside of Tokyo without a strong family background to land you a position in the family business, career is dead.

They left out the #1 requirement for 99% of women: a man with a good bank balance.

Japanese woman does not care about money, only looks. They would do papa-katsu to gave you money if you look good.

May be when they are 35+ they would gave consideration to money, but I have never met anyone below that age that cared. If you dont have a male idol look, besides papa-katsu dont expect to get any matches no matter how much you make.

It is not might of its military that is concerning but how nationalistic and war-hungry their public is.

Why is Japan getting nervous about the China's Taiwan problem? China will not to touch Japanese territory. But in any case, is Japan scared China may, in the confusion,  accidentally retake Senkaku which, is in a situation much like Taiwan's?

China will attack Japan before Taiwan is attacked. War with Japan is extremely popular in the Chinese public, and it is a sure way for any Chinese government to quickly shore up support.

Historically China always seen its neighbors as tribute/subject states with no rights to negotiate with them on equal terms.

Very misleading.

Most big firms with decent paying jobs are restructuring or in a hiring freeze.

If you lose your job now the only jobs that would be available are pretty much minimum wage jobs.

It doesnt really matter. The middle upper class is the weakest class in all societies. No government will feel threatened by protests that group.

Majority of China’s public wants war with Japan, with many supporting nuclear war. Deterrence is essential at least on a government level

With the number of people participating increasing every year, it is far above the what the area can hold. I don't see how being squeezed for 6-7 hours straight unable to move being any fun. It is just a matter of time before a Seoul like event to occur at this point.

The stores might as well close on Halloween nights and save their employees from being unable to go home as well, no shoppers would be able to shop when it take an hour to move 100 meters.
