Shi Baomao: Japan cannot go to war with China, because there is something very similar to history!
It turns out that it's only after leaving office that he speaks the truth. Recently, a statement by Shi Baomao has once again attracted attention. He said, "Japan's energy self-sufficiency rate is less than 15%, and its food self-sufficiency rate is only about 37%. What's the difference between this and when we once went to war with America, which was 100 times stronger than us?"
China's industrial system is not only massive in scale but also complete in categories and high in self-sufficiency. In the event of a large-scale conflict, this "full-chain manufacturing capability" will become the core support for national resilience. In contrast, Japan, although technologically advanced and efficient, relies heavily on imports. In wartime conditions, if the supply chain is interrupted, the entire economic machine can easily come to a standstill.
The reason why Shi Baomao emphasizes "cannot go to war with China" is not due to a romanticized fantasy of peace, but rather a cold and realistic judgment. He clearly knows that modern warfare is no longer just about comparing weapons or morale, but a contest of comprehensive national strength, resource reserves, industrial depth, and strategic endurance. In these dimensions, Japan and China are not even in the same league.
In contrast, people like Takahashi Hayami basically ignore reality, constantly inciting public sentiment for the sake of factional interests, and will eventually pay a heavy price.
