Apparently the japanese pm only sleeps 2-4 hours a night, and she brags about it. Sorry takky but that's not something to be proud of.
Pressure on Japan? What is the actual loss this time? I only see pressure on Chinese people, Japanese is happy and support more their government.
We as a free society should support Japan.
the "survival " phase was used by Japan as an excuse to invade China in 1931
this socalled Chinese expert don't even understand taiwan issue is the reddest of redline for China
Today is 80th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and China's War of Resistance Against Japanese BRuta.l- Aggression took place on September 3, 2025. These events marked 80 years since the end of World War II and the subsequent Japanese surrender in 1945. Japan is rearming with such insidious provocation towards China purposely
Indonesia is ready to take advantage and sell fish to China :))
The rise of military imperialism of Japan is a threat to the whole world.
This is going to hurt Japan a lot. Even in just tourism, not only from China but other countries won’t be visiting.

u must be joking , Beijing ??? They were just in Apec
What a mediocre guest, DW should have at least two guests offering a balance of opinion.
DW's journalism is deteriorating fast!
Well, the world doesnt want to be stuck on chinese labor
(corpos who sell your jobs and profit endlessly do, though; and, of course, politicians who get paid by corpos)
Lmao Hudson institute fellow is a joke
In the history of Japanese militarism, the so-called "survival-threatening situation" has been repeatedly used as an excuse to launch aggressive wars, including deliberately initiating the September 18 Incident under the pretext of "exercising the right of self-defense" which provoked its war of aggression against China, bringing immense suffering and disaster to the people of Asia, including China, and to the world.
This William Chou so called ANALYST, didnt even know HISTORY.
Why China react so strongly against Japan PM remark, with her history visiting Yasukuni Shrine.
Japan = USA vassal state or lapdog.
US Government's Interaction with Unit 731
Immunity for data: After World War II, the U.S. granted immunity from war crimes prosecution to high-ranking members and doctors of Unit 731, including its leader General Shirō Ishii, in exchange for their extensive human experimentation data.
Cover-up: The U.S. government intentionally concealed evidence of the unit's crimes and blocked access to key witnesses during the Tokyo War Crimes Trials.
Monetary payment: Declassified documents show that the U.S. paid stipends and other benefits to former Unit 731 personnel to secure the data, which American authorities deemed valuable for their own biological weapons research at facilities like Fort Detrick in Maryland.
Lack of justice: This secret deal meant that, unlike in the Soviet Union where some members were tried in the Khabarovsk War Crimes Trials, many of the primary perpetrators were never brought to justice in the West.
Nanjing massacre, comfort women all across south east asia, etc.
In japan education system, they pointed as VICTIM of nuclear bombing. lmao
If Japan really gearing up its military, Japan should be awarded with another NUCLEAR BOMB.
Deutsche Welle, the most reliable sinophobe.
The expert in name not in knowledge.
UN Article 53, 77 and 107 is there to keep a leash on Japan, they are an "Enemy State" according to the UN Charter.
This guy is either uniformed or ignorant of the facts.
She WILL back down.
CCP… Always the victim, ever the bully.
LMFAO! Airport entries into Japan from 🇨🇳 these last three days?
Latest reports show they have…. barely even received a blip of change!!
🇨🇳 🛫 🗻 🛬 🇯🇵 🍣 🤗 🎉
This further cements what we have all known all along : the average mainland citizen, desires & admires the FREEDOM offered by the rest of the world.
As the old saying in Central-PEK goes: “ Party-first!! our people? maybe third… 🤷”
😂😂😂😅😅😅 ❤️ 🇯🇵 🫡
Japan needs to remember the unconditonal surrender in 1945, you do NOT want to repeat that.
China is a bully because they can, so they do. Either stand-up to the bully or bow down. That is the way of the world.
They've simply put Japan in its place. Nothing more nothing less. Japan started it, Japan asked for it. Japan should not just be opening its mouth when it knows it doesn't have the strength to back it up.
We just heard the opinion of a taiwanese… ok!
The Australian Prime Minister made the mistake of blaming China publicly for Covid. China retaliated against warmongering actions by the austraian government
It's about time China flexing muscle against the former enemy.
400.000 chinese people have canceled their flights to Japan in the last few days…Japan should not mess with China.
The “fool” talked and talked but said absolutely nothing. Japan simply doesn’t hold any strong cards in this dispute, but it needs to pretend to be tough on China in order to appease the United States.
Japan doesn't realise, saying these kinds of words puts Japan at more risk.
Japanese PM throwing red meat to her base, I get that.
But she still needs to manage that 260% debt to gdp ratio somehow.
If japan were to be in a hot war with China, it will bankrupt Japan the way WW1 destroyed the UK permanently.
The guest in this show is only giving one perspective of the incident biasing his views towards Japan while totally ignoring the perspective of China which is Japan declaring its military intention to intervene into China's internal affairs. DW German news is forever only telling the western narrative and is therefore lacking journalistic integrity, objectivity and credibility.
Germany and Japan should know that history repeats itself. They ought to proceed with greater caution.
Useless interviewing
Chinese bots are working overtime😂
As dependent on exports as its economy is, China should remember the old saying, "people living in glass houses should not throw stones."
Taiwan's constitution says taiwan area is a part of China. Full stop.
So DW is now blaming china for being offended
I am an Indonesian who is pro-China and supports China that Taiwan is part of their internal affairs. I really resent Taiwan when they interfered in our internal affairs in the 90s, especially in 1998.
