** 19-Jul-2021 World View: Invading Japan
So this is exactly the reason why the "Japan Exception Theory" is
being advanced. The Chinese Communists would not invade Japan with
troops. Instead, they would "invade" Japan with continuous nuclear
bombing. It's obvious that China would do this, since Japan has no
nuclear weapons, and couldn't respond.
However, it's interesting that Japan has displayed a "Screw you - just
try it" attitude. I keep talking about the Chinese thirst for revenge
against Japan, but I also have the impression that the Japanese are
thirsting for a repeat of its war against China. The people in these
two countries REALLY hate each other, and they're willing to show it.
