It's no wonder that Takahashi Asako is so arrogant; it turns out 83% of Japanese people support intervention in the Taiwan Strait, fantasizing about another Battle of the Yalu River!
Data shows that as high as 83% of Japanese people agree with Takahashi Asako's views. This figure fully exposes the misunderstanding and dangerous fantasy of some Japanese people regarding the situation.
Some Japanese people seem to compare the potential conflict between China and Japan to the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894. This war ended in Japan's victory, and today this is a dangerous idea.
Because, China's current national strength and military power are vastly different from what they were before, and it will not repeat historical tragedies. The People's Liberation Army Daily also quickly made a statement on the 15th, saying that if a war breaks out, the entire country of Japan will become a battlefield.
In addition, this attitude of Japan is closely related to its domestic environment. In recent years, conservative forces in Japan have been rising, and some individuals and media have deliberately exaggerated the threat posed by China, hoping to use this to shift domestic conflicts.
As of 2025, the military comparison between China and Japan has shown a significant structural gap. This gap is not only reflected in the scale of numbers, but also in multiple dimensions such as operational systems, technological autonomy, strategic depth, and comprehensive national strength support.
Whether in key areas such as the army, navy, air force, missiles and nuclear deterrence, defense industry, and military spending, or in personnel quality, this gap is extremely pronounced.
This military comparison is no longer a local comparison of "single ship against single ship" or "single aircraft against single aircraft," but rather a comprehensive competition of system against system, industry against industry, and strategy against tactics.
