I mean Tibetans are the same as Hans as Tibetans have so much subgroups. The Khampas and Amdo and more famously the Goloks are famous for having 0 loyalty to the Dalai Lama and that is excluding those who live in the Himalayas like the Sherpas. Plus like mentioned before the Other schools of Tibetan Buddhism plus the Bon Religon aka Tibetan Paganism where they have 0 alligence to the Dalai Lama. Westerners can literally just go to Nepal or Bhutan (Forget India because I am pretty sure the Indians brainwashed the Ladakhis and Sikkimese to worship Dalai Lamai) and ask the people if they rever the Dalai Lama and they would say no especially Nepal after the Dollarama said Buddha was Indian which hurts Nepalese Tourism (Which is the only industry aside from contracters via Gurkhas or Sherpas)

Good luck upgrading Japan's arms industry and mass-producing offensive missiles with China's rare earth ban.
Gordon G. Chang is daydreaming again.
Japan is an island far away from others. They rarely get to face any retaliation which is why they act so bloodthirsty like the British Empire. Unfortunately they started doing their imperial run when we already had aircraft and nukes so they got blown up in WW2. But America never destroyed the roots that caused such a winnology mindset so they never truly learnt.
The thing is being an Island is also a double edged sword. Its good defense. But if you get past the barrier there's no where to run when you get nuked to hell and all the oceans around you are cut off.
So China will really need to up its costs for missiles and navy when the time comes. Not to deter them but to finish the job. Its pretty obvious that deterrence is on a limited lifespan at this point. China has developed a lot during peace but sadly those times come to an end.
Japan still thinks its better than China because at least it was an upper caste member like America beating them and not a dalit from China. China will have to beat it to really make it understand its place.

I'm pretty sure somebody already posted this, but that Stanford girl a while back who claimed that Chinese intelligence tried to reach out to her? She's now admitting, unashamedly so, that she and her fellow classmates are gaming the system at Stanford by claiming to be disabled when they're not to get accomodations.
The snide remark about how every accusation is a confession when Americans were dumping on Chinese international students for cheating are a given. But man all evidence really does point to this next generation of Americans being empathy deficient social media zombies.

76% of Japanese population sees improving China-Japan ties as unnecessary. In comparison, only 24% sees the opposite.
Awesome! They certainly are making their bed right now.

China should bring Russia and North Korea into a stronger alliance and coordinate together. Why should China fight by itself when both Russia and North Korea don’t want to see Japanese militarism revived or Japan with nukes. It’s a lot easier to get buy-in from Russia and North Korea against Japan than against anyone else. China-Russia-North Korea alliance should be made as powerful as possible to counter the US-Japan alliance.
I hope this will finally be the moment China decides to take the gloves off and go for a full scale military build up. China has the money, technology and industrial capacity to vastly expand its military power. Takaichi’s militarism revival provides the perfect excuse for China. It’s an easier sell to the rest of the world saying China will not allow Japan to destroy China again like in WW2 and China must prepare by increasing the military budget.
Previously China has been reluctant to expand the military budget to say 3-5% of GDP because it will look bad in the eyes of the world. Even domestically it will be easier to sell the military buildup against Japan. I see this as a great opportunity for China.

Japan keeps bragging about the need to ‘deter’ China from taking Taiwan. What China needs (and lacks right now) is the need to deter Japan from ever coming to Taiwan’s rescue. Tokyo is betting that whilst Orange might initially hesitate to intervene when China attacks Taiwan, Tokyo could join the fray first to compel Washington join to war. In doing so, JSDG could initially sink several PLAN vessels. Such an action could invite PLARF strikes against Japan’s main islands and vessels, which would in turn would activate the U.S.-Japan mutual defense treaty. That is something Beijing needs to figure out how to deter.
Actually Russia would be unlike to join China against Japan. Moscow has its own calculations vis a vis China, whilst Tokyo has long offered a new realignment with Moscow against China under Abe. Russia is highly opportunistic when it comes to strategic partnership with China. Also, Moscow’s fear of Chinese influence in Central Asia, Mongolia, and Russian Far East has never gone away in spite of the Ukraine war. Once the Ukraine war ends, expect Sino-Russian Relations to cool significantly.
Knowing Japan, they will scrape the bottom of the barrel to come up with any excuse to get USA to save them.
After all when you look at location, Japan has no friends. Even South Korea which is supposed to be its vassal colleagues doesn't like it. Its surrounded by people who want to get even with it. That puts it in a very hard spot considering all except South Korea have nukes.
Deterrence is ideal. But China really needs to be prepared to go all out for this. There are no half measures which means a lot of people will probably die.
