Theres no point in occopying Japan any further. Right now it would serve USAs interest if Japan decided to start massacring the Chinese again

I don't know a lot about that history, but I don't understand how Japan could do that to China. I will have to read up on it. It's something I've always wondered about. Did China just roll over?

China is a paper tiger as a world power. They will self pwn a few years like they always do historically

China was middle of long and tiring civil war, they had worn themselves out to point that monks of Tibet could've invaded them with nothing but big sticks

They didn't. Military deaths in China were about evenly matched with Japan's, despite the fact that there was a full-blown civil war going on at the same time. The Japanese took out their frustrations on civilians, and not just in China.

Should read up on the treatment of Southeast Asian and European POWs by the Japanese.

China self-pwns far less than Western powers do. It's just that when they do, they self-pwn hard. But when they succeed, they also succeed astronomically.

Study Chinese history and the self pwns its done. Even the cultural revolution was a self pwn.

Japan did the same thing by closing itself off to the west and then the west came back and pwned it.

This is why Asia will never dominate the world. It self pwns way too much.

China has traditionally been bad at fighting. I'm sure it eats Dae up but it's true. China has typically relied on buying off the barbarians at the gate rather than fighting them.

What do you mean by "traditionally"? Because if you want to be hardcore and go back 1,000 years they were actually exceptionally good at it. So good that they had simultaneous wars against all of their neighbors and won. Many of them most people have never heard of because they were so thoroughly annihilated. It was only during the Song that they started to disparage and neglect the military, and even then the Southern Song navy was the best in the world and the North's infantry excellent.

And during the Ming they again became the most powerful in the world, but started falling behind Europe in the mid 1600s.

For long periods of its history China has been conquered. Right now China is in a huge growth bubble which will one day burst
