China’s Invasion Timetable and the Moment Japan Must Never Repeat
This essay argues that the foolishness of Japan’s opposition parties and major media outlets confirmed China’s invasion timetable for the Senkaku Islands, while explaining why Abe’s long leadership was strategically inevitable and why Japan fell behind Germany.

Watching the foolishness and sheer stupidity of the opposition parties and the media led by the Asahi Shimbun and the Mainichi Shimbun, I became firmly convinced of something.
The schedule for the People’s Liberation Army—little more than the private army of China’s one-party communist dictatorship—to land on the Senkaku Islands, or to dispatch a massive fleet including warships equivalent to such a landing, was timed for the moment when the president of the Liberal Democratic Party would be replaced.
However, Prime Minister Abe, a rare realist in recent times and a true patriot, knew better than anyone else why Japan had weakened, fully understanding all the reasons across politics, economics, and diplomacy.
The public and LDP politicians alike know this painfully well.
That is precisely why they extended the term of the party president.
In other words, Prime Minister Abe and the LDP were, in effect, learning from Germany.
Chancellor Kohl served for sixteen years, and Merkel will likely match that this year.
That is why Germany holds its current position.
When the turntable of civilization rotated toward Japan, Japan’s national power was equal to Germany plus France plus half of Britain.
Why, then, did Japan continue to trail behind Germany, a country with far smaller national power—something obvious even from the scale of its contributions to the United Nations?
History has proven that the reason was exactly as described in my arguments.
To be continued.
