Time for democratic Japan to acquire NUCLEAR WEAPONS against threatening autocratic governments who have no respect for human rights !

China needs to be kicked out of the Security Council by the otherwise CORRUPTED UN!

Japanese new PM is damn idiot, everyone knows Japan is quietly trying to build up their military strength and presence in South China sea, and buying lots of modern weapons from US
But why tell to the world publicly and even threaten China ?
Now China knows what Japan is up to, and don't blame them for restricting rare earth to Japan and all of US allies

This China-Japan row over Taiwan can be solved peacefully by the U.N. dumping "One China Policy" adopted by the US under the late Pres. Richard Nixon, as ill-advised by the short-sighted former Sec. of State Henry Kissinger in their belief that China under Mao Zedung (who ardently followed the Marxist-Leninist communist ideology) could be convinced with adopting an open market economy just like the West. What they did not realize was that the CCP was only interested in the transfer of technology to copy and produce items made in the US but at a lower cost (by the government subsidizing production of exported products and partly by employing forced or cheap labor) to monopolize the market with their cheap imitated products. Now that China has acquired the necessary technology and built up the biggest naval forces to even challenge the US as the number 1 superpower in the world, it is now DICTATING the "rules of the game". It's about time the US and its allies change strategy by dropping their ill-advised "One China Policy" and by supporting Taiwan (which has become a young Democracy in the region) as a "returning member" of the United Nations. It is worth noting here also that it was Gen. Chiang Kai-shek of the Nationalist Kuomintang Party who had been the President of the Republic of China (ROC) from 1928 until 1949. He also coordinated with Allied Leaders British PM Winston Churchill and US Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt in discussing the terms for the Japanese surrender towards the end of World War II. He was also the leader of the Republic of China (ROC), which was considered as one of the "Big Four" together with the USA, the UK, and the USSR, in the establishment of the United Nations (NOT Mao Zedung of the CCP). So the "One China Policy" under the CCP is NOT APPROPRIATE. The ROC under Chiang Kai-Shek should have been recognized by the U.N. as the pioneer member of the United Nations, and NOT the PRC.

It sounds like you’re asking about a statement made by Japan claiming its “survival” was threatened, before it went on to invade other countries — likely referring to pre-World War II Japanese justifications for expansion.

Here are the main possibilities, depending on what you mean:

⸻

✅ 1. The “ABCD Encirclement” Claim (1940–1941)

Before attacking Pearl Harbor and expanding across Asia, Japan claimed it was being economically strangled by:
• America
• Britain
• China
• Dutch (Netherlands East Indies)

Japan argued that embargoes on oil, steel, and other materials threatened its national survival, and therefore it needed to seize resource-rich territories (like Indonesia and Malaya).

This statement was used as justification for Japan’s invasions.

⸻

✅ 2. The “Amau Doctrine” (1934)

Japan claimed it had the right to intervene in China and East Asia because instability there threatened Japan’s security and survival.
This doctrine justified earlier expansion, including incursions into northern China.

⸻

✅ 3. The “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere” (1940)

Japan claimed that Western colonial powers threatened Asia (and Japan), and that Japan needed to “lead Asia” for its survival.
This became ideological justification for expansion into Korea, China, Southeast Asia.
