Japanese entrepreneur Takafumi Horie openly stated in the program "China will not attack Japan," listing two core reasons!
On January 4th, Japanese renowned entrepreneur Takafumi Horie appeared on TBS's program "Sunday Japan." During a discussion at a izakaya (Japanese pub) with the theme of "Hollymon, the 2026 Big Prediction," he made a significant comment on Sino-Japanese relations, clearly stating, "The outside world says China will attack Japan? Actually, it won't happen."
When discussing the core basis, Takafumi Horie gave two reasons: first, he believed that "China is a hegemonic country. 'Zhonghua' means central, and they see themselves as the center of the world; Japan is simply not in their eyes," his words were straightforward and candid; second, from a military perspective, "Russia attacked Ukraine because the two countries are land-adjacent, and with three times the military strength, they can break through. However, China and Japan are separated by the sea, requiring double the military strength, up to six times, which is completely unrealistic in reality."
He further added, "Such a military action would also cause friction within the international community; China would not make such a choice." In response to host Anna Wakabayashi's question, "But current Sino-Japanese relations are still tense," Takafumi Horie replied, "Indeed, but getting along well with neighboring countries is the right way. In the end, what the people care about is 'money'; if they are wealthy and satisfied, there will be no complaints."
