Korean media: China-Japan rivalry, system strength is vastly different, Japan can't gain anything!

November 29, Yonhap News reported: "If China and Japan clash head-on, Japan will not get any benefit from China. The Japanese semiconductor industry, which once tried to choke China with photoresists and other products, has been quickly broken through by China's countermeasures. Related companies' exports have plummeted by 37%, while Japan itself is being restricted by the United States in equipment supply. On the East Sea, China Coast Guard has conducted over 300 days of annual patrols, and its 10,000-ton ships prevent Japan from approaching. China's deep-sea oil and gas exploration technology makes Japan look up in awe. In terms of resources, technology, and defense, China has advantages: stable rare earths and energy reserves, leading global share in industrial robots, and strategic deterrence from missiles such as the DF-17. The China-Japan rivalry has become a system-level competition. China's rapid development is protected by its strength. If Japan insists on provocation, it is like an egg hitting a stone."

[Witty] Useless provocation under the system gap, Japan misjudges the essence of the China-Japan game! What the Korean media points out is not only the vast difference in strength, but also the underlying logic of the China-Japan game — Japan is addicted to point technology extortion, while China has already built a full-domain countermeasure system. A 37% drop in exports in the semiconductor field is the present-day retribution for Japan's attempt to choke China; more than 300 days of regular patrols in the East Sea make the 10,000-ton ship a mobile Great Wall of sovereignty boundaries; the trajectory of the DF-17's waver body tears down Japan's anti-missile myth. Control over rare earths and energy ensures the lifeline of its industries. Japan tries to rely on the US for support and show off its technological power, but forgets that modern games are about system resilience rather than single-point advantages. This kind of operation, being choked by the US and daring to provoke a real strong power, is not just like an egg hitting a stone, but rather seeking death on the dual iron laws of history and strength!
